Choices

How many choices are we given every day?

All the more reason to choose first to pray.

So many choices will always get in the way

Of choosing God first at the start of each new day.

Life becomes too busy; we got lost amid the fray

When we put God first the Spirit will guide as we pray.

The Spirit, our intermediary, our sign post to point the way.

How many choices come directly from God’s word?

Guidance for our needs; all the scriptures you have heard.

And we have the Holy Spirit, our helper ready to intercede.

Ask yourself the question, and then also consider why

You wouldn’t first turn to your Father for your daily supply.

God does not give us what is left over, The Spirit is our guide.

Our Saviour delights in talking to us, walking by our side.

Why would you ask your neighbour first for help or advice

When Jesus left His Spirit with us and is, God’s sacrifice..

If we really believe God’s word, the messages we have heard.

We need to remind ourselves of what is written in God’s word.

Start our morning out with prayer for we know that it is heard.

We also need to learn to pray, always listening for His voice

It will become easier, and strengthen every new choice.

Amen

• Romans 8:26 ~ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit Intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
• II Timothy ~ I have been reminded of your sincere faith which first lived in your Grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flames the gift of God, which is in yours through the laying on of my hands. God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.”
