Today’s Thought “Highest Regard” G. Ward

Proverbs 28:13

“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

The swiftness of days presented invites many towards a hurried pace and even opens an unfortunate critique with any who’ll fail to seize moments that will exercise in decision the way they would. A more appropriate stance will absolutely slow down to recall the pain in such hurried decisiveness, to perhaps contemplate where a hopeful resolute surety exists. Faith in Christ, more than confession, allows HIS lead and during the course of each day insists on numerous spiritual pauses that will contrast how my desires matter against an eternity proposed(?) and that quiet time, even though noise may be all around, will allow a newest spiritual posture that yields to HIS lovingkindness that absolutely displaces things and people so temporary. I bow onto this Great King’s unrelenting presence with great humility, knowing I’ve missed the mark set on so many occasions, yet, HE always seeks to restore me (1 John 1:9). It’s (i.e., my surrender to HIM) the best thing I’ve ever done…

 

Father God, Your mercies are astoundingly here for now; so, may those who’ll listen identify with the deer who pants after the water from the nearby brook, longing to have their thirst quenched by Heaven, as we look to the Author of our faith – Jesus. We’re determining there’s no greater joy than to be intimately acquainted with the grace HE provided – through obedience. May Heaven smile upon the many who’ll say yes to Your will; in Jesus Name, Amen.
