Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By MarkWaldrop
Scripture:
Proverbs 21:2
"A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart."
Reflection:
In our daily lives, we often find ourselves convinced that our choices and actions are justified. We rationalize our decisions, believing that we are on the right path. However, God, in His infinite wisdom, sees beyond our intentions and self-justifications. He knows our hearts, our true motives, and the desires that drive us.
Our understanding is limited, but God's wisdom is perfect. While we may perceive our ways as right, it is essential to remember that God’s perspective is different from ours. He sees the bigger picture, knowing what is truly best for us. We are called to trust in His guidance, to surrender our own understanding, and to seek His will in all that we do.
Today, let us take a moment to examine our hearts before God. Are we truly seeking His will, or are we following our own desires? Let us ask God to reveal His truth to us, to guide our steps, and to help us align our hearts with His perfect plan. Remember, our Father knows best, and His ways lead to life and peace.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom and guidance. Help me to trust in Your ways, even when I think I know what is right. Reveal to me the true state of my heart and lead me on the path that You have prepared for me. May I seek Your will in all that I do, knowing that You know what is best for me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
