Proverbs 21

One verse in particular spoke to me yesterday. v. 2 "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts." Many things are changing at Faith and many new ideas are being brought to us. Things are sometimes moving at a quicker pace than some are comfortable with and intentions are being questioned.

This verse made me think a lot about how people view the intentions and motives of others. I believe that the people of our church all have good intentions and want to do what is right. I also believe that the Holy Spirit will guide us where he wants us to go. The problem is that there are many different views on where we are being guided and where we, as a congregation, want to go.

I have to admit that I have never been a big one to pray everyday. Usually I pray more when I am in times of trouble. When things are going good I guess I just don't think about it as much. One of my goals during Lent was to pray everyday. I have been keeping that goal and everyday one of my prayers is that God will lead me where I am suppose to be. I also pray that our church will be guided to where we are suppose to be.

Maybe it's time to stop and listen for directions.
