REFLECTION
Gang... we all know "life" moves fast. So often, we miss what God is doing because we're rushing from one thing to another. The Apostle Paul reminds you and me to walk "circumspectly and wisely" in this "evil" world we live in. What does this mean? It means keeping our heads on a swivel and paying attention to the people in front of you, the opportunities around you, and the still small voice of God leading you.

APPLICATION
Take time today and this week to slow down. Pause and ask God, "Father, what are You doing around me right now?" It could be a moment to encourage and pray for someone, or to rest physically & mentally, or to give of your time, talent & tithe, or to speak life. Don't miss it on those God-moments. Look for one divine opportunity today and respond to the leading of the Spirit of God in that moment.

SUPPLICATION
Psalms 90:12 (KJV-BRG)
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Say this prayer, "Holy Spirit, help me walk with wisdom because the days are short. Open my eyes to what You're doing in this moment. I don't want to rush past the things that matter. Teach me to live with intention and trust You with the rest. In Jesus' name, amen."

Ps. Mike
