Might I say that my Door County Jamaican Blue Mountain Blend Coffee is just what I needed to go along with my prayer time.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and He shall direct your paths
Our two Springer Spaniels Leo and Gibbs are to say the least "full of energy" , They love to attempt to run out of any door when it opens. This is dangerous and is not what is a desired behavior. So we have been working on having them sit while the door is open and they are not allowed to leave or move until their name is called. The last thing I would want them to do is to bolt from the door and run into the street. Both of them have learned their boundaries pretty well and now we just need to conquer the invitation from an open door.
Friends, all of us do the same thing as our dogs do. We see the opening and we jump through it in life. Some openings are not the best for us and should be avoided. We jump at the chance for instant happiness. All too often we see people marrying the wrong person just because the door of attention opened up.
We need to practice like our dogs do. When something comes our way we should stop and pray before jumping in. If it is dangerous or immoral we can rule it out right away as not for us!
The more we learn to rely on prayer and God's Word the safer we are and we find it easier to not stray down the wrong road.
Good advice for that moment when you have to choose!
Have a great day.
Marty
