Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me-everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:9

Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 3:13-14 (NLT): Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.

Today’s Thought: Wisdom is talked about a lot – especially in the book of Proverbs. Why? Because our enemy – satan – is very wise. He knows how to twist the truth to make us believe anything. We must be wise so we don’t fall in the traps of the enemy!

Today’s Prayer: Lord, help me become wiser each day. I ask that You teach me how to see the traps of the enemy so I do not fall for them. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen!

Luke 10:41-42 — "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Problems are a part of life. They are inescapable, woven into the very fabric of this fallen world. We tend to go into problem-solving mode all too readily, acting as if we had the capacity to fix everything. This is a habitual response, so automatic that it bypasses our conscious thinking. Not only does this response frustrate us, it also distances us from Christ. We must not let "fixing things" be our top priority. We are ever so limited in our capacity to correct all that is wrong in the world around us. Let's not weigh ourselves down with responsibilities that are not our own. Instead, we must make our relationship with Christ our primary concern. Talk with him about whatever is on your mind, seeking his perspective on the situation. Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to our attention, ask him to show us what is truly important. Remember, we are "en route to heaven." may we let our problems fade in the light of eternity.
