Scripture for Today

VERSE: Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
Proverbs 2:11

THOUGHT: My greatest mistakes have been made in haste, when I didn't allow a little prayer time to consider what I was going to do or say. While discretion and understanding are acquired through learning and experience, they are also a gift from God. But this gift doesn't come on demand. It comes from patiently seeking, trusting, and waiting on the Lord's guidance and from longing to live for him as a person of character.

PRAYER: Forgive me Father, for I fear that I am more often a "character" than I am a person of character. Forgive my selfish desire to play to the crowd. I confess that I sometimes try to be witty and popular, rather than being a person of discretion, understanding, and integrity. Help me please, dear LORD, to see through the temptation of haste and find your path to integrity. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

He paid theprice to redeem us, he sent his Spirit to help us overcome sin'spower, and he will speak to the Father and claim that right toforgive us.

PRAYER: Father, I'm embarrassed by my weakness and vulnerability when Isin. Even in those moments of shame, I'm thankful that Jesusprovided me the way back into your holy presence. Jesus, I thankyou for coming to my rescue and my defense. I will not let Satandiscourage me when I fall. Instead, I re-commit myself to live withyour character and for your glory. In the name of Jesus, my Lordand my defender, I pray. Amen.http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20080201
