...not by earthly wisdom
but by the grace of God...
2 Corinthians 1. 12
Stop.
Let's think through this
in a way that is not the same.
Because when we walk with Jesus,
we approach differently
our circumstances and encounters,
the ordinary and familiar,
the strange and our struggles,
not molded by the world,
but with hearts changed by God Himself.
By the grace of God,His strength is woven into our souls
and He reveals a whole
new way through it.
Circumstances may or may not change.
But He changes us inside and out.
May others see His grace in us
and be strengthened by it.
Earthly wisdom seeks a name for oneself,
to be known and valued.
Abiding in God's grace, seeks His name
and His glory in every situation.
May we know Him more
and write His name all over it.
How are we seeing
what is before us by His grace?
What can we do differently?
O LORD,
You have opened a fresh new day,
even in the midst of ongoing
struggles and problems.
Help us to walk with You,
not by how the world says
we should act or react,
but by how Your grace
changes our response.
Be glorified in this day.
And empower us
with Your grace in it.
Help us to not seek right choices,
but to seek You.
Guide us in unexpected ways
for Your Kingdom
and in Your holy name
with Your grace poured all over it.
