If there is one thing we like to pursue, it is “security,” and here I am referring to the security of the future as we think more of it, and then our security becomesith people and things. In our list of requests to God , we certainly have particular requests. Today, ask the Lord for the grace of being prudent, for it is through prudence that we know where we are treading.

To be prudent is not to be shy, but to know that we can not take such an attitude, because, from it, we will miss a lot. He who hears the Word of God and puts it into practice walks in the light, in prudence. Whoever builds his life on the Word is building it on the rock. If I live up to the Word of God, it gives me assurance.

The seemingly sure things we will realize that we risk losing them too, but nothing and no one can take away the security that we have in God. No matter how great the problem, if I am in God nothing will destroy me, because the Lord does not disappoint. Those who live this challenge, each day, are gaining spiritual strength . You may have a lot of insecurity around you, but only if you are safe in God are you strong. To be a Christian is to make a commitment to the Word every day, my commitment to fidelity is with the Almighty.

The Bible is our direction

The Word of God does not give us patches, but directions. Safety is not something that comes from outside, but from within. A safe person is someone who has a firm purpose: that my “yes” is “yes” and my “no” is “no”. We must have a decided spirit, so we will reach much in God.

Brethren, the Word of the Lord for us today is: “Build your house on the rock.” If He wants me, I go to the end. There are people who have given up building, got used to things the way they are. They began building on the rock, but after the sufferings appeared, the problem became a problem, and many gave up. If you gave up building, restoring your family , start fighting, be sure to build your house on the rock! God wants you to be a wise person, and before you seek the counsel of men, seek the advice of the Most High, for your life is in Him.

Faithful in prayer

What kind of people are we? Are we unstable?  We achieve discipline with the power of the Holy Spirit . Unfortunately, there are even unchurched people among Christians. We need to be people with an inner resolve to be faithful to the Lord.

Prudent is he who strives to be faithful every day. The time has passed for you to stand back and forth from the sufferings! May the Word of God be your safety! God wants him safe inside, not sure in himself, but in Him. May you be firm of purpose, of a determined spirit, and may nothing separate you from the way of God.

The one who looks back thinks of returning, but whoever has purpose with the Creator looks forward.

Each day, God the Father asks you special things, be generous with Him, so that His promises are fulfilled in your life. Today is the day for you to make an alliance with the Lord.
