Wisdom Needed
March 11th, 2010 . by JonFor lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure. (Proverbs 11:14)
When it comes to my life, I have tons of “mentors”. When it comes to the most important decisions in life…its my parents. Sobriety/recovery related things…my sponsor. For work/ministry…I have been blessed with those in the field who are willing to support me.
One of the things that I have come to accept is that on my own I am an idiot. My best thinking is what got me into rehab. Some of the genius ideas that I have are nuts. Plain and simple, I can still be a fool in areas of my life.
When I first got sober I read a Proverb a day every day without fail. I have to be honest, the last couple months I have not been as diligent as I should be. With 2 different devotionals and a focus on more New Testament reading, I’ve strayed from what my core scripture reading was. After reading today’s Proverb…re-dedicating myself to getting back to what I know works.
There are so many possible life changing decisions that I need to make soon and without the insight of those I trust, i’m pretty much screwed. Ultimately though my peace is not dictated by them rather by my Father in heaven. In the end He is the best advisor I can possibly have and its only through prayer that I can know what His will is.
Please be in prayer for me as there are options on the table that I really don’t know what to do. I’m tired of moving back and forth between Hawaii and California. Yet if this is Gods will I’ll continue to do it. If I need to choose between the two….I don’t know where I am supposed to be.
