‘Wise people
are put to shame, confused, trapped. They have rejected the Word of the
Lord. They don’t really have any wisdom’ (Jeremiah 8:9). Deliver us,
Lord, from thinking that we’re smart. Keep us from becoming wise in
their own eyes. Deliver us from the ‘know it all’ attitude. May we not
have an answer for everything – except the most important question, the
question of salvation: ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Deliver us from
knowing know so much – yet knowing so little about what really matters!
‘The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved’
(Jeremiah 8:20). Keep us, Lord, from becoming so obsessed with getting
on in the world that we make no time for You. When, Lord, we’re
getting too busy enjoying all the pleasures of this world, help us to
remember Jesus’ words: ‘What good will it do you if you gain the whole
world – and lose eternal life?’ (Matthew 16:22).

Lord, may there be less trying to get our own way - and more walking in Your way.
