Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture:
Psa 119:60 "I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.”

Reflection:
Psalm 119:60 emphasizes the importance of immediate obedience to God's commandments. The psalmist expresses a sense of urgency and commitment in following God's directives without hesitation. This attitude reflects a heart that understands the value of God's wisdom and desires to live in alignment with His will.

In our daily lives, we are often faced with choices that require us to act quickly. Delaying obedience can lead to missed opportunities and the potential for straying from the path God has set for us. Our Father knows best and His commandments are given to guide us towards a life of fulfillment and righteousness.

By prioritizing God's commandments and responding promptly to His guidance, we demonstrate our trust in His wisdom and our dedication to living according to His ways. This prompt obedience not only honors God but also brings peace and direction to our lives.

Meditation:
Consider the areas of your life where you may be hesitating to follow God's commands. What steps can you take to ensure that you respond more quickly and faithfully to His guidance?

Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your commandments that guide and protect me. Help me to hasten and not delay in following Your will. Grant me the strength and determination to respond promptly to Your guidance, trusting that Your ways are always best. May my obedience bring honor to Your name and lead me closer to You.
Amen.

Application:
Today, make a conscious effort to respond promptly to God's guidance. Whether it's through prayer, reading the Bible, or listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, commit to acting swiftly and faithfully. Trust that your quick obedience will lead to blessings and a deeper relationship with God.
