I often ask God to help me know His voice. To help me stay
on track and not sway from His direction in my life. You see, I don’t want to get lost in the world. I know I’m human and I’m not too big in
my own britches to think that someday I might make a terribly wrong choice that
could mess up everything I’ve worked so hard for in my life.
Integrity and honesty
are important to me. My values and
morals are something I take seriously. I
love my God and I love His commands. Yet the world has a very strong pull.
And all it takes is one little concession on my part that will lead to a bigger
concession and a bigger one. I have to be intentional and vigilant about the
choices and decisions in my life.
In Isaiah 30, verse 21, it says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a
voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’
That is my heart’s plea and desire. That God will be
ever-present in my heart and life so that I will hear His voice when He speaks
to me and tells me which path to walk on. And if I don’t? If I should get on
the wrong path? Then with everything in me, my prayer would be that God would
direct me back to the right path.
You see, I pray for
myself AHEAD OF TIME. I ask God to help me and to hold on to me. For He is
faithful and I know that a prayer I say today, He will remember a year from now
when I’m struggling or feeling rebellious.
I pray that my ears will hear my God when He speaks. That my
heart will feel Him and that my mind will know Him. And may my lips only speak
from a soul that is consumed with His love.

This too is my heart's desire. Funny I just wrote a little about my heart this morning before I stopped by.. Thank you for continually using His words to encourage others.
