The
Lord
Is
More Pleased When We Do What Is Right And Just
Than
When We Offer Him Sacrifices.
Scripture
Psalm
51
17 The
sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
Proverbs
21
Observation
I
am so grateful for people like Orville and Linda Renner who co-lead
our Celebrate Recovery ministry at our church.
I
can't even begin to imagine how many people have been helped through
the faithful leadership of this couple. They have been a huge
encouragement to Kathy and I.
One
of the things that I have heard this couple say as they help people
with their hurts, hang-ups, and habits is this, “Just do the next
right thing.”
Think
about that for a minute. Let that sink in this morning!
Are
you struggling? Are you tempted to do something that you know later
you are going to regret? Are you trying to decide what to do? …
Just do the next right thing.
“The
Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we
offer him sacrifices.”
For
you and I to say to the Lord, “Lord, show me the next right thing
to do”... that takes having a broken and repentant heart.”
Application
I
will ask the Lord to direct me today. I will ask Him to help me to do
the next right thing!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know what You want from me. I know that You want me to have
a broken and repentant heart. I know that You want to guide and
direct me today. Help me have a willing heart to do what You want me
to do. Don't let me direct my own life today. I want You to be in
charge.
I
pray for any person who may read this blog today. Bless them, Lord.
Help them to do the next right thing. Don't let them go backwards
today. Give them strength over any temptation that would mess them
up. I pray for those who are sick. I pray for healing.
