I don’t know!!!

Reading: Job 30-31 and Luke 20

Scripture: Luke 20:7, So they answered they did not know where it came from.

Thoughts: I know there have been times when I weighed the options for answering a question and chose to say, “I don’t know.” Even when I knew the truth or had an opinion on the question. These men knew how Jesus and the people would respond and did not want to pick a fight with either side. Do we try to play both sides with God? Are we trying to play dumb with the one who knew us before He knit us in our mother’s womb? I know I allow my anger to control my words sometimes and say things I do not really want to say and now my children are using some of those words that I should not say and all I get from them is, “I don’t know.” Let us seek God and His wisdom so that we can know why we are doing and saying those things that cause us to say, “I don’t know.”

Prayer: Father God, I stand in awe of how you can love me even when I fail. I thank you for your steadfast love. I ask for help understanding where my anger and harsh words come from. I long to lay down my anger and harsh words. Lord purify me, remove the dross of my life that I may reflect you.
