Friday! Proverbs!
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 14:23
It was Jesus toil, but more than that, it was his hurt and his pain that brought a profit, but not for him, but for us...his pain was all for us...
Every where we look there are glimpses of the gospel, the good news. The gospel was not a proclamation of what was coming, but what had been done.
Done for us.
And when we're in a world of pain, it's to the gospel, the cross, God with us, dying for us...that's our place of hope.
Not a place of just talk, but a place of toil, pain & hurt that gives us life...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
