Friday!
Proverbs!
Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands.
Obey my commands and live! 
Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.
Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. 
Write them deep within your heart.
Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family.
Proverbs 7:1-4 NLT
What do I treasure like this?
Do I protect God's truth like I protect my own eyes?
Do I hold God's truth with respect and honour?
Do I write His Word deep in my heart?
The writer of Proverbs couldn't make being clear about our values stronger than this, it's what we hold deepest that shapes our identity, thoughts, emotions, and choices.
I wonder what the Holy Spirit is prompting me to tie on my finger, to remind me of today, to write on my heart, to store in that deepest part?

Love is patient.
Love is kind.

This is what I am called to treasure and protect today. In a world which does not slow down and wait, this is what love looks like.
In a world that is harsh and self seeking, being kind is the antidote.

Let God's truth in.
And protect it.
Treasure it.
What is the Holy Spirit is prompting you to tie on your finger, to write on your heart today?

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
