Friday!
Proverbs!
A kingys heart 
is like channeled water in the Lord's hand: 
He directs it wherever he chooses.
Proverbs 21:1 CSB
It would be nice to see a bit more of this in leaders around the world,  because many of them don't seem to be doing things that I think God should be choosing to  direct them in.
Maybe Solomon was thinking of the Assyrian king at the end of Ezra ch6.
Or maybe he was considering his own heart.
And asking me to consider mine.
It's easy to see what some other king should be doing, but how well do I allow God to direct my path?
Is it that I just want to be king?
He's moving me to love and I'm opting for selfishness.
He's moving me to patience, but I don't want to wait.
He's moving me to kindness, but I don't want to.
He's moving me to discard the record of wrongs, but I cling to it.
He's moving me to give but I want my stuff.
The water of my heart keeps wanting to break out of the channel God is making ahead of me.
I just want to be king.
Lord, 
You be King, 
Direct me in Your path.
Channel my heart today.
Amen.

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
