Despite all the bad in the world, there is also a lot of good. There are days that you may have to look a little harder to find your "happy" but God blesses us each day. It's up to us to accept it.
This past week a few friends and I have been doing an online Bible study, going through the book of Proverbs. Although I have read portions/verses from Proverbs in the past, I have never read the entire chapter or book before. I am absolutely stunned at the amount of knowledge and wisdom is contained in each chapter.
I have been reading from several versions to try to get the most understanding. I have also been talking to a friend outside of the study, who reads a chapter a day and reads through Proverbs every month, about some of the scripture and it's such a blessing to hear their insight.
My friend is writing her thoughts in her blog and I just absolutely love what she wrote about Proverbs 3:5-6 (Click here to read Linda's thoughts).
As I get a glimpse of the news and the tragedies that so many are facing I am glad that God is in control and I can look for the blessings He provides every day. I am so grateful for Christian friends ... who pray without hesitation ... who encourage ... who bring laughter and wisdom. I am thankful for the support of pastors and mentors who guide and love unconditionally. I am blessed to see my children growing and establishing deepening relationships with each other. I am happy about renewed and improved friendships ... for special projects to work on and a new life adventure. Most of all I am forever grateful that God is ever present. His wisdom and direction is there, if we just ask and seek Him ... and that offers a peace that I simply can't describe...a peace that passes all understanding.
Until next time ... do you need direction? Seek Him with your whole heart ... and ask!
How did you put the link in there? That is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI went to your page and copied the url. then I came to my page and clicked "link" in the toolbar. Pasted it in the address bar and then right above it you can type whatever words you want them to see. That's the same way I link the songs I post (haha, unless you didn't realize there were songs there) :)
