Daily D – Proverbs 19:2

by David Bowman | Jul 19, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

Proverbs 19:2
Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes. (NLT)

Ignorant zeal is worthless; haste makes waste. (MSG)

This is a good verse for the surgical team today. I want them to take their time and do their best work. I want them focused and precise.

Who else in our lives do we want to live and lead with focus and precision?

It would be really easy to start pointing metaphorical fingers here. As always, however, before we critique others, it does us well to consider ourselves. What do these simple instructions, focused and precise, say to me?

Where do I need more self-discipline?
What do I need to learn before beginning?
What do I rush rather than follow procedure?
What essentials require more focused attention?

The surgeon today is a focused, precise, and pleasant man. His attention to detail gives me confidence. He listens carefully to my questions, answers completely without extraneous detail, and asks if I have more questions. He then takes the necessary immediate next steps. I need to be more like him in certain areas of my life.

How about you? Where could you benefit from turning enthusiasm into focus and urgency into precision?

—

I will give urgent matters focus and precision.

—

Our Father, please empower me to live with focus and precision in all urgent matters. Remind me as often as necessary not to rush essentials. Amen.

Psalm 49:20
Mankind, with his assets
but without understanding,
is like the animals that perish.

Daily D – Psalm 46:10

Psalm 46:10
“Stop fighting, and know that I am God,
exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth.”

Daily D – Ezra 3:11-13

Ezra 3:11-13 They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: “For he is good; his faithful love to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid. But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads, who had seen the first temple, wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple, but many others shouted joyfully. The people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shouting from that of the weeping, because the people were shouting so loudly. And the sound was heard far away.

Daily D – Ezekiel 43:1-5

Ezekiel 43:1-5 He led me to the gate, the one that faces east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice sounded like the roar of a huge torrent, and the earth shone with his glory. The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown. The glory of the Lord entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

Daily D – Ezekiel 37:3

Ezekiel 37:3 Then he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I replied, “Lord God, only you know.”
