Proverbs 3 NIV
Time to Contribute
As I wrestle with questions about how God wants me to serve Him in ministry, this statement in the devotional cuts to the heart: "Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. ".
I often feel that I know what my paths should be yet I should focus solely on what God sees as my path. "Lean not on your own understanding" is key here because I often lean on my own understanding. "Make your paths straight" is also key because I often feel blocked in my career yet if I view how my career unfolds from God's perspective I am more likely to see how God's path is unblocked.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus You are an INCREDIBLE God whose wisdom far surpasses that of man. I am deeply thankful that You provide Your Word, Your Holy Spirit, the church, brothers and sisters in Christ, and of course that I can spend time with You to discern Your words and will for my life. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love and blessings...I often lean on my own understanding and I have other sin of selfishness, etc. Please forgive me Jesus and help me turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of this cancer and help her recover from side effects of chemo and radiation. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your Message today and every day.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. v5-6 (NIV)
