Friday!
Proverbs!
The Lord's lamp sheds light on a person's life, searching the innermost parts.
Proverbs 20:27 CSB
What's going on in the "innermost parts"?
The place where our deeply held beliefs are, where our thoughts come from, our deep feelings.
The Lord's lamp...Psalms tells us it's the Word that is a lamp, John's gospel opens with Jesus as the Word, and he says he is the Light.
The lamp sheds light. Light shows up the good, and the not so good. 
It gets to our beliefs and thoughts and feelings. 
The Word, Jesus, his light is illuminating and it's healing, and it gives us a way forward.
His light shines truth into the lies that we believe, the lies we listen to, the lies that make us feel less than, unloved. 
Unworthy.
Jesus says "I love you". 
"I chose you"
"My Father has adopted you"
"I went to the cross for you. No matter what, that was enough".
"Come to the banquet that I am preparing for you. I invited you because I love you.
I love you.
You are enough. 
In this moment, I love you."
His love gets to our heart and moves things around, the light brings healing, truth, and hope.
We just have to let Him in.

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
