Long ago, Thomas à Kempis declared, "Man proposes, heaven disposes." Most of us rush to give advice and make grandiose plans. The Wiseman of Proverbs, likely Solomon, reminds us that wisdom comes from submitting to instruction and good advice — that requires discernment! Then, after a significant time of listening and considering, we can begin to align our hearts to the Lord's purposes. If you are like me, you would do much better to let your plans ripen a bit more in the light of the Lord's truth and wisdom from others before launching into living out those plans. I am comforted that James, the wisdom writer of the New Testament, reminded us that God will give that wisdom if we seek it and do not doubt (James 1:5-8). As we pray for wisdom, let's also pray for patience to listen, recognize, understand, and align our hearts with the Lord's truth, so we can recognize godly advice and good instruction as wisdom the Lord wants us to hear.

Jesus Loves You!
