Where Are You Going?

Published on by Kim

Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure. Proverbs 4:26

Where are you going today? Are you walking aimlessly, or have you planned out the direction for your day?

Have you taken a few minutes to set your mind on your purpose?

Do your plans, first of all, express love for God and then also reflect love for your neighbor as you walk through the day?

Did you look at your calendar and to-do list before starting the day, to make sure your priorities were mapped out?

Are you proactively walking in obedience to God and guarding your heart and home from evil, or are you constantly zig-zagging as you react to all the demands and distractions that come at you?

Have you looked to God’s Word for direction or are you leaning on your own understanding?

Where are you walking today?

Consider: The Excellent Wife

Published on by Kim

As a bridal shower gift, I received a copy of The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. I thoroughly appreciated that gift! The book covers a lot of ground and gave me a lot to think about as I became a wife.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your family almost as much. Be patient and kind and do not be selfish. Create such an atmosphere in your home that your husband as well as other family members will look forward to coming home. They will want to be around you instead of avoid you…

A wife who has a gentle and meek spirit from the Lord provides a calming, soothing, and reassuring atmosphere in her home. She trusts God deeply and does not panic at difficult circumstances. She has a quiet confidence that God will “work all things for good to those who love God…” (Romans 8:28). Her confidence and faith in God grows daily as she studies the Scriptures because she is “growing in the grace and knowledge of (her) Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18, adaptation added).
