Proverbs 27
We are called to examine our hearts because that is where our true desires live and are known (see also Matthew 6:19-21).
We should desire to live a life modeled after Jesus Christ (see Romans 12:1) and as we strive to do this, we should examine our hearts and lives, and we should ask others to do the same for us.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God and You have transformed my heart and life to be more like You....and You continue to do so. Thank You Jesus for helping refine my thoughts and ways. You have blessed me well beyond what I deserve. I am weak and selfish and need You - constantly. Please forgive me for my lack of patience in others. Help me overcome such sin and turn towards You instead and help me love You with all of my heart, soul and mind. 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 her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me lead and serve my family and serve You and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
