“He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding propsers. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that perishes. Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge” (Proverbs 19: 8, 21, 27).
Father, it is you who instructs me, it is you who guides me. If I turn away from your instruction to me; in the end, it is me who is turning away from you. It is only you Lord who knows my heart and its deepest yearnings. It is you who prevail in my life. Your purpose will be made known and made clear by your working in my life. Remaining open to your instruction in my life will reveal understanding and allow me to grow in my realtionship with you. Thank you Lord for being active in directing my life and showing your purpose.
