Friday!

Proverbs!

All God's words are tried and true; 

a shield for those who take refuge in him.

Don't add to his words, or he will correct you and show you to be a liar.  

Proverbs 30:5-6 CEB

These are the writings of Agur, who starts in v1 with;

"I'm tired, God.

I'm tired, God, and exhausted"

We don't know why he feels at the end if what he can do. Maybe he's old, unwell, the weight of the world feels too much, things have happened in his life, loss, grief, or maybe it's fear of the future, but it all seems too much.

And this part of his proverbs seems like he's reminding himself of some truth:

When you're tired, God's words are true, they're enough, wrap yourself in His Truth as a refuge, stand behind God's Truth as a shield.

And while you're there don't go making stuff up, don't go believing the accusations, the lies, what the world might say about God, or about you.

Trust His Word as that place of refuge.

What's the Truth you need to wrap yourself in today?

God is Love

Nothing can separate us from His Love

You are seen, known, chosen and adopted.

Jesus is enough.

He knows.

You are Beloved

We have and are being made holy.

Let Truth be your shield and refuge today.
