Waiting...

May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for thee.
Psalm 25:21 RSV

If when you ask for something
God seems to hesitate,
Never be discouraged--
He is asking you to wait.

  This morning I havebeen reading about wisdom,  In James 1:5 it says: if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who give generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
I think we all struggle with wanting to make wise choices, and God is telling us to ask him for wisdom, which is what we ened to make decisions.  Once we have asked him we need to trust him to guide our steps.

In James 3:17
Wisdom from above
1.pure
2. peace loving
3. considerate
4. submissive
5. full of mercy and good fruit
6. impartial
7. sincere

verse 18 talks about Peacemakers
sow peace/raise harvest of righteousness.

Father help us to look at ourselves and to ask you to help us be more like you.  Show us the areas that we need to yield to you.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Yesterday was a regular day of school, sports events were called off and when we left for home it wasn't to bad, I drove over to see Frank and Dorothy and while I was there, here came Dad to see them, too.  By the time we left for home the weather wasn't as nice.  It sounded quite windy in the night and we have a drift in front of the house, but it is clear this morning.  Have a great day
