Preparing Before God

Scripture 2 Chron 27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

Observation: So often we go off doing our own thing without praying and asking God for direction. We act as if we know what we are doing and we do what we want. Then we wonder why things don’t go right and we even blame God at times for our trials. If we plan ahead and ask God for direction using His word to guide us even if we go through a trial we can see what God is showing us.

Application: I need to stop and wait on the Lord. I’m too anxious and go off halfcocked most of the time. I need to have more patience and not to act until God guides me on what direction to go. I’m here to fulfill a purpose that only God knows and I need to take it a step at a time always going in the direction God calls me to go. I want to finish well, but I have a difficult time each day. I need my Lord I can’t do it without Him.

Prayer: My Lord help me please hear your voice and direct me each day. Give me the strength and desire to live each day for you. Help me complete the task you have created me for and give me the patience I will need to wait on you.
