We can make our own plans,
but the Lord gives the right answer.
Don’t fail to discipline your children.
The rod of punishment won’t kill them.
14Physical discipline
may well save them from death.
A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
Lord God,
May my plans be based on your desires, my plans often fail. May you bless all I do and may it be for your glory. Protect me from my selfish ways and lead me to life. Keep me from my own desire to rest when I can be working on releasing your glory in the world around me.
In Jesus name,
Amen
