Walking in His Wisdom and Love.
Scriptures:
Proverbs 3:6– “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
James 1:5– “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
1 John 4:19– “We love because he first loved us.”
Life is filled with crossroads, moments where we wonder which path to take. At times, the way ahead feels uncertain, and the weight of decision-making can leave us anxious. But the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, calls us to trust in Him completely. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us that when we surrender our plans and acknowledge Him in all we do, He will faithfully guide us along the path of righteousness.
As we bring our needs and petitions to God, we can rest in the promise of James 1:5. He generously provides the wisdom we seek, giving without hesitation to those who come to Him with open hearts. Trusting in His guidance requires humility, acknowledging that His plans are higher than ours.
But why do we have this confidence in God’s guidance? Because of His boundless love, expressed so beautifully in 1 John 4:19. He loved us first, choosing to guide us, protect us, and lead us closer to Him. This love empowers us to trust fully, knowing that we are cherished by the One who holds all things in His hands.
Let this be a prayer for today: Lord, I submit my plans to You. Teach me to trust in Your perfect wisdom, to seek Your guidance in every decision, and to walk in Your everlasting love. Amen.

Heavenly Father,
Your Word says that when we acknowledge You in all our ways, You will make our paths straight (Proverbs 3:6). I surrender my plans to You and seek Your guidance.
