“Experience is the most brutal of teachers but you learn, my God, do you learn†~C.S. LewisTweet
So in the midst of adversity and challenges that we did not anticipate nor wish for, we can only persevere and attempt to learn from the experience. I wonder years from now what will history say about this time in which we find ourselves living and what will be said about us as individuals, nations and the world?
I pray that we learn. And use this experience to do better and to correct any mistakes in the future. Like Solomon I pray for wisdom each day in the choices I make. Those that affect my family, my friends, those I work with and others that may be touched by the ripples I create.
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, “Ask what you wish Me to give you.â€
Solomon’s Prayer
6 Then Solomon said, “You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. 9 So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?â€
God’s Answer
10Â It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. ~1 Kings 3:5-9 (NASB)
May our leaders also being praying for and asking for wisdom. So, how are you doing with during this time? Are you affected by any stay at home orders?
I would love to hear your thoughts. Stay safe my friends and God bless! 😊
I love this and often have to ask for wisdom in my everyday life. I have to ask for wisdom just to deal with all the normal tasks that are on my plate because I often do have a clue what to do. I have to remember He is always willing to give us wisdom when we seek Him for it.
Beautifully said. Me? I’m more worried by the stillness I feel inside, like a broken ship, hopefully waiting for a hurricane to toss it about so it doesn’t have to be a ship anymore. And I’m not sure how I feel about that. ☺♥
Thanks! I get it just started working from home last Friday and my anxiety ratcheted up wondering what’s next and how long. Take care and stay safe my friend. â¤
