Wise choices bring God’s blessings

1.5.09 / 6:57 a.m.

Our Clear Living Magazine family theme for this week is wisdom.  My thoughts for today come from the text of 2 Chronicles 17.  Jehoshaphat has been made king and he seeks wisdom from the Lord.  As a result of seeking God, God blessed him.  In my search to apply this to my own personal life, verse 6a jumped out at me. 

       6 He was deeply committed to the ways of the Lord.

I long for a stronger committed relationship with God and was reminded that if I desire to be more Christ like, I must be willing to be more and more committed to him.  As a result, God will help me be the Christian I desire to be.  We as Christians often desire wisdom.  I too long for the wisdom only God can give.  James 1.5 clearly tells us that God gives us wisdom if we just simply ask. 

As you go through your day today, allow your life to be totally committed to Christ.  Ask God for the wisdom that you need to make the choices that are aligned to his will and live them out in your life today.
