“Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.”
(Isaiah 5:20, 21 NIV)
My own wisdom is not enough. If I think I don’t need others, or if I don’t think I need God’s Word and wisdom, I’m a fool.
We get so many mixed messages in this world. Yes, we need to think think for ourselves. But without staying connected to God through His Word and prayer, it’s easy get right and wrong confused. It’s easy to get distracted and end up on the wrong path. Without God’s light, it’s easy to get lost in the dark.
Lord, I’ve been guilty of neglecting my need to seek You in prayer and through Your Word. I admit my weakness. I admit I’ve allowed distractions to become excuses. Please help me make my time with You the priority it needs to be. Please don’t let me forget my need for Your wisdom, direction and presence. I need You, Jesus.
