Friday! Proverbs!
Also
it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
And he who hurries his footsteps errs.
Proverbs 19:2 NASB
Also...what was Prov 19:1?
Walking in integrity.
Plus you need knowledge.
Having integrity is great, but without knowing what is right and wrong, truth and error, good and evil, well, we just make it up to suit ourselves.
To walk in integrity, to be able to choose what 19:1 suggests, to avoid being that fool, we need two things;
Knowledge.
What's our source?
What do we hold to be true?
(Yes God's Word is the right answer!)
And to slow down.
Try this...think back to half your life ago...how good were your decisions then?
How much more do you know now?
Slow down.
Let God's truth permeate our lives in the knowledge of the Infinite, so that we walk in integrity, He who has revealed Himself in his creation, His Son, and His Word, and walks with us with His Spirit, and then we are way less likely to err.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
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
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
