simple

Today is my 70th Birthday.  Throughout these seventy years, I have tried to complicate things - but God, in his infinite wisdom, always keeps things very simple.   In Proverbs 3:5-6, God makes it very clear and simple how we are to walk daily with Him.  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths."

 
Simple... 
     Trust and Obey. 
     Love God with all your heart.
     Follow Him. 
     Seek Him and His will.  
     Don't trust you own feelings or emotions, trust Him. 
     Don't lean on your own experiences or knowledge base, lean on Him! 
     Don't complicate it, keep it simple!
 
When you do...
     He will guide your every step 
     He will lead you all the way
     He will go before you and walk beside you
     And one day, you will dwell in His house forever!!! Psalm 23:6, John 14:2-3

"A Simple Prayer"
 
Today,
     For what I am that I ought not to be,
     Forgive me
     For what I am not that I ought to be,
     Forgive me
 
Be with my mouth in what it speaks.
Be with my hands in what they do.
Be with my mind in what it thinks.
Be with my heart in what it feels
 
Work in me
     through me
          for me
               in spite of me
