Roadmap for Life - Wisdom on the way for everyday life (5) - 7 July 2016
Touch base with God daily for wisdom for everyday life. This is the only way to keep your life prioritised and your Christian identity integrated. Refresh your soul daily with God’s words while communicating with him in daily prayer.
I pray to you, O Lord; you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer. Psalms 5:2b-3
Connect with God’s people. God’s kingdom is a family where we all need each other. If you are not involved in your congregation get involved or find a church right away and get involved in their ministry. Worshipping with fellow Christians can help keep you strong. Going to church at least once a week can help keep your focus.
Raise your hands in prayer in the Temple, and praise the Lord! Psalms 134:2
Sing to the Lord, all the world! Worship the Lord with joy; come before him with happy songs! Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him; we are his people, we are his flock. Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving, go into its courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise him. The Lord is good; his love is eternal and his faithfulness lasts for ever. Psalms 100
If you are a young person, stay in touch with the older generation. They may be “old” but they’ve “been there and done that”. Accept that they love you and want what is best for you. Besides, you will need their help and advice for the rest of your life.
Don’t forget what I teach you, my son (and daughter). Always remember what I tell you to do. My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life. Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them round your neck; write them on your heart. If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you. Proverbs 3:1-4
Let us be thankful for parents and grandparents from whom we can get wisdom for everyday life. In Proverbs 4:4 we read," , “Remember what I say and never forget it. Do as I tell you, and you will live.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you that through your word and through prayer we can connect with you every day. Thank you too that we, your children, can support one another on the way of life. Amen
