As part of our studying Proverbs we were encouraged to plan. Planning and diligence are the ways of the wise. Laziness and sloth are ways of the foolish. This includes spiritual diet, physical exercise, friendship, finances, and all areas of life. How have I been with my daily reading and devotion time? Not very good.

We need to be more consistent in this area. I feel my wife and I have been lacking in reading and consistent prayer as well. Part of our Winter retreat has been reading time and seeking the Lord. I think having a consistent family devotion/worship time will do us good. I am the head of the household, so I will try to implement this more consistently.

Lord help us in preparing this coming week and have this as part of our life. The bible is the word of God must be foundational to our family, our faith and life. May you bless it O God!
