Inventory taking, we do it all the time without even realizing what we are doing. When we glance at the gas gauge in our car, we are taking inventory. Just try covering up that gauge and going for a long drive. Not being able to see how much gas you have will significantly increase your level of anxiety. When we check our refrigerator and pantry, we are taking an inventory before going to the store to get groceries for the weekend.

At any given time, we are on multiple paths. We should be taking frequent inventory in numerous areas. Remember, do not be deceived by your good intentions; they are only self-generated lies to keep you off track; be brutally honest in your inventory taking. We need to approach each new day as David in the Old Testament did in Psalm 5:3 (TPT), “At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.”
