Whatever feels right. Whatever seems right. Whatever gets you what you want. Whatever makes you happy. Whatever gets you through your day. Whatever your friend advised that worked for him. Whatever floats your boat. Whatever your spirit guide told you. Whatever worked in your last crisis. Whatever you want, Que sera', sera' (Whatever will be, will be)
How's that working for you?
Remember the story of the prodigal son who was bored with his life and yielded to temptation of bright lights, poor companions, hunger to have it all, right now? In the sunlight of a bright day, the bright lights from last night don't seem so bright. Just a stupid farmer's son?
Think of another boy, raised by God to leave the sheep fold and rule His nation, only to believe that gave him the right to possess whatever--whoever--he desired. Yes! On a good day, he killed a giant. Later he saw a giant when he looked in his mirror and killed a faithful friend to steal his wife! When he repented, he was forgiven, but suffered betrayal from his own son who sought to steal his throne.
The sooner we learn to consider the source of our chosen "whatever" path, the better we'll manage our days. The body follows the eye, which directs our path, regardless of our good intentions.! Our God knows the hazards ahead, the lessons we must face, going forward. He rewards His faithful follower with wisdom and strength.
Whatever God says, listen, whatever He says, do it, what He wants you to become, become!
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Psalm 32:8
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 7,18
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
6In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
7Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.
9Honor the LORD from your wealth And from the first of all your produce;
10So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His reproof,
12For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
13How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.
14For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.
15She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her.
16Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
17Her ways are pleasant ways And all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who hold her fast.
19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens.
20By His knowledge the deeps were broken up And the skies drip with dew.
21My son, let them not vanish from your sight; Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22So they will be life to your soul And adornment to your neck.
23Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:5-24:
