I sinned yesterday.
Focusing on what the world deems priority instead of letting you order my steps.
Forgetting that you promise grace and glory to those who pursue your righteousness.
I thought I had the answer.
Thought I knew which thing to choose.
But I chose incorrectly because my choices were made without you.
Time I could have been spending in my word I spent making up my face.
I was striving to get more items checked off my list instead of allowing you to set my pace.
And the ironic part is if you asked me what I achieved.
I can only list two of the 7 things.
God I know I’m moving into a new season
Where there will be more on my plate
But I need to rely on your wisdom
I need you to guard my gate.
Help me to not allow anything in my heart and mind that does not come from you.
Give me the courage to do no more or no less than what you’ve asked me to.
Help me to stand as an example of what graceful living can be.
Please keep my eyes on you.
You are my number one priority.
