Consider Your Ways

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! - Haggai 1:7.

God will direct our path 

             God will direct our path as we consider our ways, acknowledge God in all our ways, turn our feet to His testimonies and walk in all the ways He had commanded us. I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies - Psalm 119:59. Walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you -  Jeremiah 7:23. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:6. 

God's  perfect  & higher ways

            God's ways are perfect and higher than our ways. As for God, His ways are perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him- Psalm 18:30. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55:8,9.

Discerning & Wise As Joseph

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you" - Genesis 41:13.

                Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of the whole land of Egypt as there is no one as discerning and wise in interpreting the dream of Pharaoh. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” - Genesis 41:39-41. Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt - Genesis 41:43. Joseph was discerning and wise as the Lord was with him. The Lord was with him - Genesis 39:3.

             Joseph gathered up all the food during the seven years of abundance. Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly. So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable - Genesis 41:47-39. The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down - Proverbs 21:20. The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer - Proverbs 30:25.

              When the seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began the famine, there was famine in all the other lands but there was food in the land of Egypt. The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”- Genesis 41:53-55.

             Let us be discerning and wise like Joseph. Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them - Hosea 14:9. Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep - So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man - Proverbs 6:6-11.

                                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us be discerning and wise as Joseph. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
