Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “crepuscular.” I remember growing up
riding my bike with my friends a lot of the time. It did not really matter
where we went, so much as we were away from our parents and embracing freedom.
But no matter what, I always had to be home and the streetlights turned on. Dusk
governed my life much of those younger years. My mom would often tell me well
into my teenage years that nothing good happens after dark. Now of course, she
was making a general statement, but with very specific intentions of helping me
understand that I needed to be aware of what I was doing, and who I was with at
all times. It reminds me of today's passage.
“He was going down the street
near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house at twilight, as
the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.” ~Pr. 7:9
My question is: how are you allowing the Lord to guard your
heart on a daily basis? Just like this young man was walking directly into a temptation,
which he knew would overcome him… so do we flirt with our own daily temptations,
like the desire to need more, do more, expect more or different things from God.
Whatever it is that consumes your mind, whether thoughts or actions, make sure
that they are fully devoted and fixed on God's plan for your life. My prayer is
that the Lord protects you during those crepuscular moments in life… the times
where the Evil One would like you to take your eyes off of Jesus and follow him
down the road to sin. Isn't it great that we have an incredible Savior.
Praying for you,
MO
