THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: CONSIDER YOUR LIFE

Spread the love

TEXT: Pro 31: 16a

Today’s verse is very important to me. I am an aggressive person who wants to
be involved in everything, but I have learned the hard way that it isn’t wise
or even possible. We cannot do everything and do anything well. Quality is much
better than quantity. Verse 16 begins by saying she “considers” a new
field before she buys it. She considers her present duties and is careful not
to neglect them by taking on new ones. In other words, she seriously thinks
about what she is about to do and does not act emotionally without forethought.

Oh, how much better life would be if we all took time to think about what we
are about to do before we do it. It is amazing how many things I don’t buy if I
just go home and think about it for a while. It is amazing how one good night’s
sleep changes our minds. Emotions are fickle and ever changing. This is the
reason why it is dangerous to do things based on high emotions without giving
plenty of consideration to everything involved. Remember to think before you
act.

Pray: Lord, I ask You to give me wisdom as to what I give my time and
attention. Help me to be busy with the right things and to give my best to
those things. Amen.

From the book The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
