Greetings and Salutations Wisdom Seekers
Today...is the 21st of the month of May...thus...we will be ruminating from The Book of Pro-Verbs...chapter...21.
"All a man's ways seem right to him...but the Lord weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord...than sacrifice." (Pro-Verbs 21:2-3)
I know...that in my mind...I am right...you are wrong. It just seems so right for me to act and feel the way that I do. After all..."it's all about ME baby...all about me." As a follower of Jesus... it can't be all about me...it is yielding my will to Him. When I willingly place MY WAY...on the scales of the Lord...there may (usually) needs to be an adjustment on my side of the scales. My heart is leaning heavily to what I want...not what God wants. Frankie and Elvis...did it "THEIR WAY"...and we see how that turned out.
I can do all the "religious stuff" to try to justify why I do what I do...but IF I "do what is right"... the Lord finds this more acceptable...than any sacrifice that I try to bring to the scales.
Lord...I pray that as you weigh my heart...that you will find it leaning heavily towards your will for my life...rather than what I want.
Love and Weighed Heart Kisses

How DO we know what is RIGHT? Sometimes within myself I have had strong opinions about things and others have had strong opinions opposing my thoughts.I feel this is a good question as this scenario comes up a lot in our everyday world.I know that i lean on my religious upbringing,prayer,and scripture,but i wanted to hear what your thoughts were.Thanks Rodney!
