Counter Chaos with Grace
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
Today's daily devotion
Checking in with God
David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.”—1 Chronicles 21:17 (NIV)
Wrongdoings often have a domino effect. David was forgiven by God, but there were consequences to his actions that had already caused damage. When you are at a crossroads and considering what to do, check in with God first. Ask for His guidance.
Dear Lord, when I am tempted to make poor choices, show me the way. Keep me upright.
