Proverbs 2

Just 'twittered' coming to work with a passion...tho not for work. Sitting at a table at Panera w/women and we read the Bible...wow ...I mean what better way to start the day but with seeking hearts. Discovering with other people that it's this amazing love letter teaching us to love Him and others, showing us how far short we fall in so many areas and yet in that very realization, seeing our need for forgiveness and in the consumption of His amazing GRACE.... in that discovery and in THAT......that very consumption is ...is....this hope and passion to continue. I don't know just in this journey discovering His power and grace and mercy and love ......
We have given our small group the beginners journaling plan in a treasure map form, for them to discover the truth inside Your word. For them to take that map and seek....
I am passionate about people sitting at tables in homes, coffee shops wherever, together searching for truth, hope, grace, wisdom....within it's pages. Seeing in each other how He works...
I don't know just this morning feeling a certain passion for who You are.....

And then Ricki, look at this......

1-5 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you;

collect my counsels and guard them with your life.

Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;

set your heart on a life of Understanding.

That's right—if you make Insight your priority,

and won't take no for an answer,

Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,

like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,

Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;

you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God.

6-8 And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free,

is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding.

He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well,

a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere.

He keeps his eye on all who live honestly,

and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones.

9-15 So now you can pick out what's true and fair,

find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend,

and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion.

Good Sense will scout ahead for danger,

Insight will keep an eye out for you.

They'll keep you from making wrong turns,

or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves

and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed,

These losers who make a game of evil

and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere,

wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

16-19 Wise friends will rescue you from the Temptress—

that smooth-talking Seductress

Who's faithless to the husband she married years ago,

never gave a second thought to her promises before God.

Her whole way of life is doomed;

every step she takes brings her closer to hell.

No one who joins her company ever comes back,

ever sets foot on the path to real living.

20-22 So—join the company of good men and women,

keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths.

It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land,

the women with integrity who will last here. The corrupt will lose their lives;

the dishonest will be gone for good.

I am starting to wonder IF we as believers read Your Word with seeking hearts what You would do in and around us.

I am starting to believe that in the Word passions would be born and in those passions problems, if not solved, then more and more people wrapping that passion along with their gifts and talents around walking with people suffering from those problems.......

just something I am starting to wonder......
