Friday!

Proverbs!

I am weary, 

O God; 

I am weary and worn out, 

O God.

I am too stupid to be human, 

and I lack common sense. 

I have not mastered human wisdom, 

nor do I know the Holy One.

Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down?

Who holds the wind in his fists?

Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak? Who has created the whole wide world?

What is his name - and his son's name?

Tell me if you know!

Proverbs 30:1-4 NLT

I was a bit worried about Agur (son of Jakeh, the author of this chapter) at the start. The inward looking inner critic at work giving himself a hard time.

But then it seems he is looking at himself, and  looking up and out at the world, he just wants to know God more personally. 

And what's this little gem he drops in at the end - "and his son's name"?

Agur has had some insight it seems into the nature of God and from centuries before Jesus arrival somehow is pointing towards him.

Proverbs is about the heart, and Agur is sharing his heart wrestling with some big questions, who am I, who is God, what's this world all about. 

It's OK to wrestle with these questions.

It's OK to wrestle with God.

It's OK to question Him.

It's OK not to have all the answers to everything.

What are your questions for our God?
