Thoughts on Today's Verse...

It's easy to give our opinion. It's kind of fun to "put in our two cents worth." It's easy to "talk the talk." Unfortunately, however, our talk can often keep us insulated from the obedience God desires. We don't want our talk to drown out the wisdom, truth, and grace in God's commands! No matter our age or experience, let's listen to and accept God's righteous commands and prove we are part of the wise.

My Prayer...

O Lord God, who searches hearts and minds, please give me an inquiring heart that thirsts after pleasing, listening, and obeying you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
