Proverbs - Inner Changes


Proverbs 26:11

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.


When we find ourselves acting foolishly we must not just cease from being foolish.  We must ask the Lord to give us a heart for wisdom.  Our inner man needs to change.  We must ask the Lord to help us incline towards wisdom so we don’t go back to the familiar folly we are used to acting out.   Attitudes, words and financial decisions can all be guided by foolish guidelines and we might just be a little too comfortable with them.  When we are a bit tired or lack a sober mindset, we might just go back to the way we used to handle things.  Lord, create in us a clean heart!  Lord, help us recognize our old man as dead and help us reckon ourselves alive unto You!  Protect us from returning to bad habits and let us be women who are walking according to the wisdom you so generously give.
