Common Sense

"My child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace. They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap."
Proverbs 3:21-26

What assurance and comfort these words are! The Proverbs are full of common sense messages. And we can pray that we receive discernment. In these days that we are seeing "sudden disaster" all around, we can be assured that our Lord is protecting us if we are repenting of our sins and looking to Him for guidance.

If you aren't assured that you have made Jesus your Lord and Savior, here is a prayer you can pray:
"Jesus, I want to know that I am Your child and I will spend eternity with You in heaven. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and I give You my life. I am sorry for my sins and turn away from them now. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Now, if you have prayed that sincerely from your heart, you have been born again into the kingdom of heaven! Read the christian Bible daily to learn what you should do and pray about what your purpose is on this earth.
