In My Own Eyes

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

Proverbs 3:7


Keep it Simple Stupid

First, I need to admit that with the complexities and perplexities of life that even in my smartest moment, I am not all that brilliant. Second, the LORD our God is awesome in holiness, majesty, power, wisdom, and grace; he is far beyond me and all I can truly grasp of him is the smallest of glimpses of glory. It is like a speck of dust in the universe. Finally, let me stay away from anything that leads to evil knowing that evil infects and confuses me, as well as separates me from God.

The line between knowledge of God and evil is a small thin line.


Heavenly Father,

your wisdom is matchless,

your grace unfathomable,

your holiness incomparable,

and your love beyond comprehension.

Thank you for all of your many blessings and gifts, but most of all I thank you for your gift of accessibility for me as I have no right in your presence but am invited by your loving mercy. Please strengthen my will to withstand temptation and deepen my wisdom to see evil for what it is. Please empower me in my desire to stay far away from evil and its influence while continuing the Adventure in Middle Grove.
