Psalm 40:5-6 (The Message) Blessed are you who give yourselves over to GOD, turn your backs on the world's "sure thing," ignore what the world worships; The world's a huge stockpile of GOD-wonders and God-thoughts. Nothing and no one comes close to you! I start talking about you, telling what I know, and quickly run out of words. Neither numbers nor words account for you. Doing something for you, bringing something to you— that's not what you're after. Being religious, acting pious—that's not what you're asking for. You've opened my ears so I can listen.
Knowing when to speak and when to remain silent is difficult to decipher. I have opened my mouth when I should have been quite and kept my mouth shut when I should have spoken up. The only true gauge for time is Holy Spirit; we should listen to Him then act on His prompting.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me to listen and follow Your prompting. Open our ears and hearts to be sensitive to how I interact with others. Please do not allow my words or actions to sway someone away from following You.; let me be a help to spread the message of the Gospel not a hindrance. Lord I love You and thank You for loving me. These things I ask in Jesus name, amen.
Love and God Bless,
Cindy Irwin
