"Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'Consider your ways!'" -Haggai 1:7 (NASB)
Have you ever ridden with - or possibly been - a backseat driver? It can be easy to find fault in others' words and actions without recognizing the error of our own ways. Instead of being eager to jump in the backseat and start fault-finding, we should consider our own ways!
The Lord calls us to take inventory of our lives, our words and actions. We are called to love our neighbors and spread God's love, but are we doing it in our words and deeds? Taking time to prayerfully reflect on our lives, to consider our ways, can help us see a truer picture of ourselves.
Once we have considered our ways, we are responsible for striving to make our ways more Christ-like. Fortunately, God is ready to help us! We can approach God through prayer to ask for His guidance. We can also turn to the Bible for examples of people that have lived Godly lives.
Ask God to hold up the mirror to your life so that you can consider your ways and change them to be more like Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank you for being there to guide me in Your Holy ways. Help me to consider and see the errors in my ways. Show me how to change so that I can live for You and spread Your love. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
