God's Good Pleasure or Mine?

Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to Me (Wisdom), awake and ready for Me each morning, alert and responsive as I start My days work. When you find Me (Wisdom), you find life, real life, to say nothing of GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE! Prov. 8:34&35 MSG

Life is a series of choices. Every minute of every day we are faced with choices that have the potential to alter not only our own future, but the future of our household.

The closer we draw to the Father the better our choices will be.

As we grow in Him, the choices become more challenging. When we learn to look through His eyes at a situation the right decision becomes more clear.

When we use our natural eyes to make a decision we are looking through a clouded glass, our vision is not clear.

This week as I've exercized my decision making abilities and I'm sorry to say not all my decisions were laced with Wisdom.

I long for the day when I can go to bed knowing with out a doubt every decision I made that day was directly connected with God's Good Pleasure, not my own selfish desires.

Some of my decisions are minor and of not much consequence. They do add up, however to a pattern of decision making that can lead to my good pleasure not God's.

All I can do at this point is ask for forgiveness for my lack of Wisdom in all things.

His wonderful mercy will allow me to look at my faltering decision making skills and know next time, with His help I'll do better.

I end this week a little disappointed in myself, but ever hopeful that next week I'll be more intune with Wisdom's voice.

Seeking Wisdom will bring me to a place where I have real life to say nothing of the best prize, GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE!

My prayer for us all is we come to a place where seeking Wisdom, learning of His will for our lives, and preparing ourselves for holiness is the first thing we think about in the morning and the last thing we think about at night.

Everything else will fall into place.

  1. I'm sure that God hears the desire of your heart, to be obedient to Him and His will and ways, and He will honour that desire.

  2. I also desire wisdom and to seek holiness. I fail at it on a daily basis but thankfully, His mercies are new every morning. There is a relief that comes with holiness and knowing we've done the right thing.
