Are you confused about life?

There is not only God’s wisdom that is calling for your allegiance. Most temptations promise everything and cannot give much. Temptations are waiting for you to have a low moment, a time when you are tired, confused, not able to think properly and it strikes. You have to determine ahead of time what are you going to do in such circumstances. You have to decide if you will trade short term pleasure for long standing happiness. You have to be prepared or you’ll become another victim.

Then there’s this other woman, Madame Whore—

   brazen, empty-headed, frivolous.

She sits on the front porch

   of her house on Main Street,

And as people walk by minding

   their own business, calls out,

“Are you confused about life, don’t know what’s going on?

   Steal off with me, I’ll show you a good time!

   No one will ever know—I’ll give you the time of your life.”

But they don’t know about all the skeletons in her closet,

   that all her guests end up in hell.

(Prov.9:13-18)

Prayer: You are my Lord, oh God. You are the focus of my adoration. On my darkest moment help me not to lose focus. Make me aware of your love and care in every circumstance of my life. Fill my life with your presence.
