The Power of Good Judgment
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.—James 1:5 (ESV)
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.—Exodus 1:17 (NIV)
When the King of Egypt instructed the midwives to kill all infant boys as soon as they were born, the caring women instead listened to their hearts and let the boys live. Of course, they were afraid of disobeying the king, but their fear of disobeying God was much greater and God blessed them and helped them deliver His children.
Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing me with the ability to hear Your guidance and callings, and to have the courage to rise above fear to follow Your lead.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.—James 1:5 (ESV)
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.—Romans 8:25 (NIV)
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”—John 14:27 (NLT)
