the wisdom of advice

1-27-2011

Proberbs 13:10: Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

Proberbs 11:14: without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers

My prayer for today

Dear God,

you are the Ultimate Adviser and you give me advice everyday in Your word, through nature, are also through the kind, loving acts. Help me to listen and take in that advice. Change my heart God, make it pure and true. Help me to trust in all you do and not to be afraid

Today I read the story today about the Storm on the Sea, and the disciples while in the storm became afraid because they forgot you were in the boat! Help me to realize that You'll always be on the boat no matter how bad the storm. Teh disciples forgot your miracles and ultimately lost faith and trust in you. Too many times I have done the same and I try to weather the storm by myself, by my own strengths only to be crushed and drowned by the roaring waves of live. In Mark 4:40, you asked the disciples "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?" This showed by trusting you with our lives there are no reasons to be afraid and worried. Help me to take in your wisdom and to trust You in all of my ways. I love you.

Amen
