Friday’s Musings: Pitfalls or Possibilities


2 Timothy 4:3-4 (GW)  A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths.

Last night the Miami Heat won their second NBA championship in a row. One player said that it took hard work, but they succeeded. Player Dwayne Wade gave a thoughtful interview.  He said that you just have to close your ears to the naysayers and do what you need to do.  That’s good advice for everyone attempting to do something significant. That doesn’t mean ignore all advice; especially the advice of wise people but often people who aren’t involved in your venture will tend to see the pitfalls before the possibilities.  Listen to God who wants to inhabit every corner of our lives including our relationships, our work, our play and our working to share the Gospel and to help other people.

Lead us Lord as we share our hopes and dreams with you. Please bring wise people into our lives and help us also to discern your will. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Happy Friday!
Paige
