“This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Give careful thought to your ways.’” – Haggai 1:7
In a world that moves so quickly, it is easy to act without pausing to reflect. We often make decisions based on what feels right in the moment, only to discover later that our way was not the best way. The Lord, in His love, reminds us to stop and give careful thought to our ways. He calls us to live thoughtfully, prayerfully, and in alignment with His will.
God’s ways always lead to life, peace, and fruitfulness. When we follow His leading, even in small matters, He guides our steps toward what is good and lasting. But when we insist on doing things our own way, frustration often follows. Our plans may seem wise in our eyes, but without the Lord’s direction, they often lead to disappointment.
Giving careful thought to your ways means inviting God into every part of your life. It means asking Him, “Lord, is this Your will for me?” before you act. It means waiting for His timing, trusting that His plans are not only wiser than yours but filled with love and purpose. When you align your path with His, you will experience His peace, provision, and presence.
Today, let your heart be still before God. Let Him search your motives, your goals, and your desires. Ask Him to guide your steps and to help you walk in His wisdom. His ways may not always be the easiest, but they are always the best, and they will always lead to lasting joy.
PRAYER:
Lord, I realise that Your ways are perfect and lead to peace and blessing. Help me not to rush ahead or rely on my understanding. Teach me to pause, to pray, and to seek Your direction in all that I do. May my steps align with Your purposes, and may my life bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.Good morning to you all. Have a wonderful Thursday.
