My child, 
do not forget my teaching, 
but let your heart keep my commandments, 
for they will provide a long and full life, 
and they will add well-being to you.
Proverbs 3:1-2 NET
Can you hear Jesus voice in this Proverb?
My child.
The desire for our "chay", our fully aliveness that comes from relationship.
The promise of "shalom", the peace and well-being that is at the core of Jesus mission, restoration of what has been lost and broken.
His heart for us is not hard to find in this Proverb.
And then there's the heart, the "leb", the centre of who we are, which is where Jesus longs to be, more and more.
Will we let Him in, invite Him in, to the control centre of our lives, where the big and the small choices are made, will we let Him guide us into shalom, peace, well-being, will we let Him lead us into chay, the fully aliveness that he desires for us, that fully aliveness that is us even in our limitations and humanness.
Yes Jesus voice is here, calling us home, calling us Beloved...

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
