There
is a wise way of living – and there is a foolish way. We’re always
being pulled away from the wise way. We’re always being dragged into the
way of foolishness. Sometimes, Lord, we don’t need much persuasion to
turn away from following You. Our hearts are already drifting away from
You – before Satan comes with his subtle – yet strong – temptations.
Help us, Lord, to choose the “way that leads to life” – and not the “way
that leads to destruction” (Matthew 7:13-14). Help us to choose Jesus,
our Saviour. Help us to know that, in Him, we have the forgiveness of
sins, given to us as Your gift of grace; the power of the Holy Spirit,
enabling us to live for You; and eternal life, being prepared for us in
Your heavenly glory.
Often, Lord, we feel like David - facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Everything seems too much for us. Was Goliath too much for David? He wasn't too much for You - and You were on David's side. We're not alone. Help us to remember this. When we feel weak, help us to remember that You are strong - and Your strength has been given to us. Thank You, Lord.
