Yesterday, I could have spent time reading my bible, talking with God and seeking his advice on a lot of things. I didn't. I spent the rest of the day in a repetitive cycle of crashing and burning.
Today, I got a little smarter. I got up and read for a while. I talked to God for a while. Do you know what I read? I read more in I Samuel about how Israel made a few plans of their own--and then spent the next years crashing and burning.
Is this a coincidence? If you want to believe that, I say, knock yourself out.
I know better.
So, if I know better, why, after all these years do I still put off doing what I know I really need? Why do I keep trying to drive down these roads without a look at my map? I am more than half way through my life--and in my third decade of being a Christian--How long, O Lord?
Friends, the time to apply what we've learned is now.
Aren't we getting a little old to keep learning the hard way?

It is a daily challenge for me, to be sure.
When I spend time with God first, before the paper or whatever else is screaming for my attention, i am fueled for the day. Thanks for the encouragement to stay the course.
