After traveling home from Christmas vacation, I experienced superficial blood clots in my leg from the long drive causing pain and swelling. Sitting in the waiting room, fighting panic, I turned my thoughts to Jesus and my verse for 2023:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI said to myself, \u201cRelax, because the&nbsp;<\/em><em>Lord<\/em><em>&nbsp;takes care of you.\u201d Psalm 116:7 NCV<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We cannot access God\u2019s wisdom if we don\u2019t turn to our Maker. To experience the Lord\u2019s peace, we must seek His promises and believe in their truth. Wisdom caused me to seek help and focus on God\u2019s promises to help me through the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cling to Godly wisdom, embrace it. In return, the Lord will guide and direct your paths, guarding you against harm.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lord, forgive us for rejecting the wisdom You offer.
