Devotions

If I could…

If I could, but I probably would not. Because if I could, I usually do. I hear people say, if I could do this or that, I would change the world and I think, no you wouldn’t or you would have already tried. It seems valiant our efforts when we are outside the gate looking at the bucking bronco, but things change slightly when we get on the saddle and they open the gate.

If I could, I would think more before I speak. Remember Nehemiah, chapter one we read,

4When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

5Then I said:.”

I don’t think, if I am honest, I have sat down and wept and mourned for days fasting and praying before I did the saying! What if I did? Then, if I could, I would with wisdom and perhaps counsel from God!
