Bible in a Year:
He holds success in store for the upright.
I recently attended a high school graduation during which the speaker provided a needed challenge for the young adults awaiting their diplomas. He mentioned that this was a time in their lives when everyone was asking them, Whats next? What career would they be pursuing next? Where would they be going to school or working next? Then he said that the more important question was what were they doing now?
In the context of their faith journey, what daily decisions would they be making that would guide them to live for Jesus and not for themselves?
His words reminded me of the book of Proverbs, which makes many pointed statements about how to livenow. For instance: practicing honesty, now (11:1); choosing the right friends, now (12:26); living with integrity, now (13:6); having good judgment, now (13:15); speaking wisely, now (14:3).
Living for God now, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, makes the decisions about what is next much easier. The Lord gives wisdom; . . . He holds success in store for the upright, . . . he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones (2:68). May God supply what we need for us to live by His guidelines now, and may He guide us into whats next for His honor.
What changes in direction do you need to make now to honor God? How can you seek Gods guidance and empowerment in doing so?
Thank You, heavenly Father, for Your guidance in my life today. Protect me and give me wisdom to live in a way that both pleases You and reveals who You are.

When do we have Old Retired Folks Doing Absolutely Nothing and Enjoying It Day?
Remember all who labor against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Lots of smoke. It is even showing up on the weather radar. The fire is on the other side of where a forest fire was years ago. I hope the Tuesday snow comes early.
