A Proverbs a day.......Keeps the blues away....

Well? It rhymes! I'm not sure if reading in the Book of Proverbs daily keeps the blues away .... but I do know - that it is packed-filled with immeasurable wisdom. Proverbs IS a book about attaining wisdom for our lives! If we read a chapter of Proverbs daily - Chapter 1 on the 1st, 2 on the 2nd...and so on - we will have read the entire book 12 times within the year!

Today's scripture found in the 3rd chapter of Proverbs....

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6


One of my favorite passages of scripture and one in which I have lived with for as long as I can remember. Not always do we understand that which happens in our lives - but we can always trust that - no matter what - God will always be with us, never give us more than we can bear, (even though we think we can't handle it....somehow God gives us strength to get us through). God promises to never leave or forsake us. He will be with us to the very end! He also promises that His sheep hear His voice telling them that this is the way to walk!
Some people mistakingly believe that God will somehow reveal Himself in magnificently grandiously ways so that no one can mistake His perfect sovereignty! (And God can - and does at times), but sometimes He reveals Himself in a still .... small ... voice......
. . . a whisper . . .

In order to hear Him... we must be still . . . .

Lean NOT on your own understanding! DO NOT be wise in our own eyes! The world tells us to trust in our own hearts - but the WORD says that the heart is deceitful above all else and cannot be trusted! God tell us that the wisdom of the world is as foolishness to Him!

The measuring stick we use MUST be HIS....not by the world's standards!

Be blessed today as you bask in His presence - thanking Him for WHO He is and for all He is about to do through you this year!!!

We do serve an AWESOME God!
