CAREFUL THOUGHT

With so many daily routines and activities that we
repeat day after day, it is no wonder that we learn
to live on auto pilot. We can go through the motions
of the morning routine, getting to work or school,
and on with the day. If we get into the same auto
pilot mode with our devotional time and prayer, we
will be just making noise and not truly connecting
with the Lord. The result of that is lack of spiritual
renewal and growth. If we take careful thought of
our relationship with the Lord and are deliberate in
our prayers and Bible study, we will notice that we
are growing in Christ from the way we cope with
the things of this world and from the way we
interact with others.


Heavenly Father, we ask your forgiveness for the
times we hurry mindlessly through our prayers
and devotions. Give us careful thought to those
important things that cannot be handled by our
being on auto pilot. We pray this in Jesus' name.
Amen


Read Haggai 1:7


"This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Give careful
thoughts to your ways.'" (NIV)


"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways."
(KJV)
