Powerful insight

I created the mountains and the wind. I let humans know what I am thinking. I bring darkness at dawn and step over hills. I am the Lord God All-Powerful! ~ Amos 4:13 (CEV)

You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times! ~ Matthew 16:3b (NLT)
Lord God All-Powerful,

THANKS: I'm grateful for both your power and your patience.

REGRETS: We, including I, pretend to know so much about what is happening in the world. Indeed, we do know a lot more than the people who have gone before us. But we are still so ignorant when it comes to you and your plans. We don't know how to manage the knowledge we've gained. In that sense we are no better off than ignorant people.

INTERCESSION:Since Christ is living in me I am going to ask for insight into how he sees the world. I desire that his perspective on everything would become my perspective.
PURPOSE: And I am going to trust you for more than the weather. I want to grow and develop more insight into what is truly important.

Amen.
