Three Scriptural Affirmations to Aspire To
ReplyDelete🌟 Tessie/Choleric:
Good morning Ladies. Hope you are all doing well.
3."I lead with wisdom, seeking God’s will above my own." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
This affirmation resonates with me the most. In the past I will just rush into doing the task but lately I find myself talking to God before rushing into things. I want to discern the will God has in this particular situation before moving forward. I find that it is becoming a habit talking to God before jumping ahead. Recently I had some and still have some major decisions to make. With those decisions I noticed I didn't make one of them alone. Usually I will delve right in without talking to God or my spouse until the deal was done. I see my self progressively changing in this particular area.
Have a great and blessed day.
Your choleric sister ❤️
Good Morning WSS
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and your family.
Proverbs 2
These are the verses that resonated with me
Proverbs 2:10-11
For *wisdom will enter your heart*, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
This is life and comforting. *Wisdom will enter the heart* My heart is the true essence of who I am. I truly need wisdom to navigate through life, especially in these times I'm living in. I am encouraged and reminded at the same time to be aware as to what springs from my heart.
I am processed with Wisdom, Knowledge, Discretion and Understanding.
Lord allow me to stay guarded throughout my days.
Wishing you a wonderful day❤️❤️
