Daily Verse: “Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.” Prov. 9:6
Leaving requires movement.
Pastor Mike taught me a life-changing analogy. Two friends, traveling in a car, get a flat tire. After pulling over and fixing the flat, they prepare to leave. One friend doesn’t want to continue, choosing to stay stuck at the moment, while their companion decides to keep going.
You choose whether you move forward in life. When difficulties happen, and they will, you must decide whether to stay stuck in the valley or move up the mountain. No one can choose for you.
Walking in insight requires effort. Seeking wisdom and understanding will propel you forward. But if you choose to stay by the side of the road, you’ll never experience life to the fullest as Christ intended.
Seek understanding and walk in the way of insight. Follow Jesus on the adventure He planned for you long ago. Leave simple ways behind, engage with God and learn His ways.
Lord, forgive us for getting stuck by the side of the road. Help us get back on track as we seek Your wisdom and understanding. Let us live fully today in Christ. IJNIP. Amen
