It is easy to get overwhelmed by the magnitude of all that is changing continually all around us and all over the world. David was feeling the same thing while he was isolated in a cave hiding from his enemies. 
 
Psalm 142:1-3  I cry out to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I make my supplication.  I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble.   When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me.
 
We must do the same thing as David – PRAY to the Lord our God.  We must get with other believers and PRAY! First of all we need to pray for ourselves to be settled in who God is. Then we need to pray for WISDOM that only comes from God – wisdom from above.

James 3:17-18  But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.   And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

But if we listen to the wisdom of man- earthly wisdom, it is characterized by jealousy, selfish ambition, disorder, and all evil things. There will be no peace and not wisdom.
 
Yesterday in prayer the Lord brought to our remembrance a prophecy from May 4, 2012, that gives us the key to receiving God’s wisdom:

“I am slowing you down to bring you wisdom!  Look at the elderly man.  You must walk with him.  Slow down.  You are walking too fast.  He walks with a pace of wisdom.  He is not running.  Do not walk ahead of him.  He has much to say to you.  I am giving you this wisdom.  Slow down, Slow down, Slow down, Slow down, Slow down, Slow down, Slow down; hear the wisdom.” 

Here are the words of a hymn called Open My Eyes that I May See.  Let this be our cry today to receive God’s wisdom:
​
Open my eyes that I may see glimpses of truth that You have for me
Open my Ears that I may hear the voice of truth that You send
Open my mouth that I may bear gladly warm truth everywhere

We are all of navigating uncharted waters and with that can bring thoughts and fears that can over take our minds. Wanted to share a great reminder that was sent to me this morning from a trusted prayer warrior.

This should be our prayer as believers in Christ that we know the Truth and put aside our inconvenience and disappointment to serve those who do not know Him and to make Him known. To be honest this really touched my heart and convicted me as I was complaining about having to change my plans. Sometimes in the midst of change our go to is to complain, does this sound familiar? I know a group of Israelite's coming out of Egypt who got displaced and begin complaining too! How quickly they lost sight of the bigger picture of the Promised Land!

We get the benefit of the Scriptures and we read that God supernaturally provided for them along their entire journey. Will we call upon Him and Trust Him or will we complain? He has laid a foundation with His Everlasting Covenant how will we respond?

Let us not forget the Almighty who provides for all our needs and let our fears and complaints be turned to praise and thanksgiving!

Read Psalms 27 today!

Pro 9:10 KJ2000 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Pro 4:7 NET Wisdom is supreme – so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding!
