Friday! Proberbs!
Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it. Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
Proverbs 11:27-28 NIV
Seeking
Trusting
Sometimes it's good to take a hard look at ourselves - what is it I'm really seeking after - & what is it I'm really putting my trust in...God's word asks us to probe the motives of our hearts...
Thriving
If we look for the negative, it's easy to find, but we can choose to seek the good, choose to put our trust and faith in God daily...and in that we will really start to thrive...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
