Lamentations 3:24-26 I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
I must wait patiently for His Word, His guidance, His fulfillment. I must not turn to other things to fill me when my portion is in the Lord. He is our salvation, He is our fulfillment, He is our Answer. Pray, ask, knock, seek and wait.

Be Salt and Light
Ephesians 2:10 For war are God's Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Philippians 2:13-16 It is God who works in you to will and to act accroding to his good puspose. Do everything without complaining or arguing , so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Matthew 5:13 You are the Salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it saltiness how can it be made salty again? 14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 16 Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
We are to shine, to be different, to stand out. The only way we can do that is by using and practicing God's wisdom, obey his word and listen to Him and for Him in every aspect of our lives. We are to be different because of the effects God has on our lives but we must allow him to affect us.

Acquire Wisdom
Proverbs 4:5-7 Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.
We all should learn more and acquire more understanding but first gain wisdom which begins with the fear of God. We must look at everything through the lens of God and push forward to gain understanding for what he has created. We must push forward in science and in all knowledge because he has commissioned us to do so. In our quest, he will bless us and provide better ways to live our lives. He give us these gifts to gain understanding of who he is. He is infinite in His power and His knowledge. We must not stay in tradition but explore and discover so we can be in awe of His power.

Watch over your heart with diligence
Proverbs 4:23-27 Watch over your heart with all diligence. From from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you a decitful mouth, and put devious lips away far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.Watch over the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil.
I need to stay focused on Christ and stay focused on the path God has set for me. Be confident in what His plans are. Veering from them or looking for different ways only puts me back. He wants us to be the best for his plan and having a heart that is after him totally is the only way. STAY FOCUSED
