Proverbs 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
What of Today’s Verse…
Let us keep this simple. First, we need to admit that with the complexities and perplexities of life; even the smartest of us is not very brilliant. Second, the LORD our God is awesome in holiness, majesty, power, wisdom, and grace; he is far beyond us and all we can truly grasp of him is the smallest of glimpses of glory. Finally, let us stay away from anything that smacks of evil knowing that evil infects and confuses us, as well as separates us from God.
Let us Pray:
All wise and gracious Heavenly Father, your wisdom is matchless, your grace unfathomable, your holiness incomparable, and your love beyond comprehension. Thank you for all of your many blessings and gifts, but most of all I thank you for your gift of accessibility to those of us who have no right in your presence but who are invited here by your loving mercy. Please strengthen my will to withstand temptation and deepen my wisdom to see evil for what it is. Please empower me in my desire to stay far away from evil and its influence. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Perfection…
One of the chief causes of procrastination is the desire to do something perfectly. Many tasks are never started because we do not think we have enough time at the moment to do them perfectly.
It would be nice if we could do everything perfectly. And it certainly is important to do your best in any endeavor. However, just because something cannot be done perfectly does not mean you should not even start it.
Do not worry about doing something perfectly. The important thing is just to get started and do it. You can always go back later to make changes and revisions. A job done less than perfectly is better than a job that never gets done.
