Title: It Pays to Take life Seriously

Scriptures: Proverbs 16:10 - 33

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  What a time of great wisdom and rest.  I am blessed to be filled with God's words each day as I have the chance to meditate and understand with God's help every word He speaks.  Today, God is saying, "Take life seriously!" Enough with the carefree life and "whatever will be, will be" mentality.  God is telling us to take life seriously and take it to Him.  In verse 20, God says, "It pays to take life seriously; things work out when you trust in God!" Hallelujah!  Enough with the careless approach of life, trust in the Lord because everything will work out fine in Him.  What a great assurance today, fitting for all of us who are going through uncertainties in life.  I love that God cares and loves us so much that every business we have is His!  In verse 11 of this chapter, God said, "God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is His business." Amen!  How comforting it is to know that even our work/business is God's too.  He look after us not only with our personal lives but in everything including our work, school, our future, etc.  This is who God is in our lives.  This is what He wants - to be involved in our lives.  So let's us share our life with Him each day.  And I will end my thought today in verse 33, the last verse of this chapter, God said, "Make your motions and cast your votes, but God has the final say." In everything we do or plan, God will still have the final say.  So why not give Him our plans at the beginning of our journey and allow Him to filter those that are not best for us and take the control of our path so that we will be sure that things will work out fine in the end.  Thank You Lord!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for the comfort and assurance that You will take care of us, You will save us not only in our personal lives but even in our work, our future, in everything.  Lord thank You because we know You have what's best for us and to have You in control of our lives is just what we all needed.  Help me Lord to be humble and allow You to take the wheel of my life and not to overstep or take over.  Give me wisdom Lord to submit and embrace the plans You have for me.  I want You Lord to do as You please even if it's the opposite of what I want to happen.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today:

Proverbs 16:20 (The Message Version)

It pays to take life seriously; things work out when you trust in God.

Such a great comforting words from our Lord!  He says, trust me and everything will work out in Your life - and I believe it is in all matters of your life: personal, work, future, school, etc.  So never lose hope, allow God to be in-charge of Your life and watch how things just work out on its own in your life. 

Be blessed everyone!
