DO WE LISTEN

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”

James 1:19 KJV

Do we listen when God tells us to do something or do we just plan our day without consulting Him first?  There are times when we cause our own unhappiness because we do things our way instead of asking Him what He wants us to do.  We should ask Him what He wants us to do before we do anything.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for not consulting You before we do things.  You know what is best for us.  You also know there are times when what we want to do is not the plan You have for us.  Help us to talk to You and get Your advice and instructions first.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
