Proverbs 19:20-21

 Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life. You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. Proverbs 19:20-21

 I pray you'll seek wise counsel and make plans ever so mindful that the Lord's purpose will ultimately prevail. It's imperative you know and submit to God's purposes as you plan. God is willing to give you His wisdom. Seek His wisdom first then you'll be able to receive the best advice and instruction from Him and those who walk with Him. What kind of plans are you working on and are you including the Lord in those plans? Have you taken the posture of "if the Lord wills" as you plan? When this verse says "the rest of your life", are you taking into account the brevity of your life?

Proverbs 30:5-6

  Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6 NLT  I pray you'll immerse yourself in God's Word understanding that it has always proven true and serves as a faithful protective shield in your life. Reflect on how God has proven to you the truth of His Word. Likewise, reflect on how God has been your protective shield along the way. See the conditions for you must come to Him and you must not tamper with His Word. Examine yourself at this point. Do you reverently value and respect the Word of God? What is God saying to you about His Word today? What will you do when He rebukes you and exposes sin in your life?

Numbers 33:1-2

  This is the route the Israelites followed as they marched out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. At the Lord’s direction, Moses kept a written record of their progress. These are the stages of their march, identified by the different places where they stopped along the way. Numbers 33:1-2 NLT I pray you'll take some time to ponder on the stages of your spiritual journey, the progress and the stops along the way. Thank God for His faithfulness, provisions and mercies. When you walk in obedience the Lord orders your steps and is with you every step of the way. When you stray from the way, the Lord lovingly disciplines you and reorients your life back to Him. What is God saying to during this current stage of the journey? How have you seen God's faithfulness, provision and mercies?

Psalm 119:108

  Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:108 NLT  I pray you'll deepen your devotion to the Lord Jesus through reading, mediating, memorizing, studying and obeying His holy Word. Accept the challenge to prayerfully read through Psalm 119 in its entirety. It will take you a little over 15 minutes to complete. Look for every time a variation of a word for the Word (law, instruction, decree etc.) occurs. May God give you a new appreciation and love for His Word. May God show you the true value of the Word for your own vibrant spiritual walk with Jesus. The longest chapter in the Bible goes through the Hebrew alphabet extolling the beauty, practicality, and power of the Word from A to Z (for us). Jesus is the Alpha and Omega (A to Z for us). Would you take another 15 minute challenge and go through our alphabet coming up with an adjective for each letter to praise Him for His Word? Is there any reason that's keeping you from reading, mediating, mem...
