This trouble is your own fault.
The Lord your God was leading you the right way,
but you turned away from him.
~ Jeremiah 2:17 (ERV)
(Jesus said,) “But everybody who hears these words of mine and doesn’t put them into practice will be like a fool who built a house on sand.” ~ Matthew 7:26 (CEB)
God, sometimes I wonder how much of the trouble I'm in comes from my own poor choices. You give us good solid direction but we -- I -- tune you out. I confess my stupidity and again today return to you and your grace. Forgive me. I am determined to follow your lead today. Help me to see it clearly and to refrain from doing foolish things. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
