Father, I love that You're wanting us to look to You for Your very best plan for us.
May we examine our ways today, to see what it is we may be doing to hinder Your impressing us with Your thoughts.
If there's the sin of disobedience, make it plain, so we can confess what is displeasing to You, and make it right.
I pray for forgiveness for my disobedience to what I know to be what Your Word teaches. Cleanse me now, and enable me to hear Your Voice clearly in the way to go, and the thing to do.
I ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Today’s Bible verse: Zech. 13:9 b "They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God."
Today’s quote:
Each span of thread, complete with its ups, downs, twists, and turns, combines with itself to form an intricate tapestry---precise, fine art. Are we at fault for our experiences? Some yes, and others not. Are we able to take credit for the style of tapestry that we are being made into? No, not at all!
We are no more defined by our experiences than the tapestry is defined by our own will or perception of good or beauty. The tapestry is purposed, planned, and completed beyond our dimensions of linearity and limitation, beyond our ambitions, and beyond our successes and failures.
The best we can do, and perhaps all that we can do, is to press on when told to, turn when told to, and take on weight when told to. The best we can do is to yield to the Master Artisan's hand---to His Plan; moreover, we should dust off the lies about our identity and value, and instead go forth unshakably and encouraged to discover into who we are being made."

Some thoughts today: Find something skillful to do for God and look for his anointing. If you love to do it, it won't be hard to serve Him.
~ Valor - insight to hold your ground.
Prudent in speech - taking thought about what to say.
Being diplomatic is knowing when and how to spend time
with someone.
~ Take your stand on what God's Word states, and be sure to take time to "build up your most holy faith" (see Jude verse 20)
