Proverbs 30

2008 is almost done.......2009 looms.
I have alot of excitement for some reason about '09, not sure why? It may have something to do with my desire.....my desire(?).....to hear You.
To not be afraid.
To live RISKY and reckless and soft and trusting...I don't know.....
What am I going to do the first time I become afraid??
The first time I am challenged?
The first time I hit a trial or a wall or.....
I don't know and yet I think there is in me for the first time a contentment in who YOU are?? A contentment (?)....a bone deep conviction of who You are and in that reality who I am doesn't matter??? I don't know just feeling without urgency, an excitement....we'll see I guess.

vs. 5-6 The believer replied, "Every promise of God proves true;
he protects everyone who runs to him for help.
So don't second-guess him;
he might take you to task and show up your lies."

Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help. He does, I just forget to run to Him...I pray in this year to remember this, to hold on tight to the TRUTH of who YOU are......to stop trying to prove anything to You and trust that Your promises....Your voice, Your word is worth forever seeking.......I pray 2009 be a year of incredible times for the Holy Spirit to be revealed through us, as followers, seekers of You. I pray love be shown to all those who don't yet know, don't yet trust....those who have been deeply wounded by we, who call ourselves Christians and fail to in following You love them. I don't know... just words now and what I need is to HOLD ON.....

There is something uncomfortable about the Bible sometimes. Ok, a lot of things can be uncomfortable about it, but the thing that struck me about the Proverb you quoted was the threat. Same thing with Jeremiah (God saying, don't be terrified by them or I'll give you something to be terrified by!).

The more I learn about God, the more amazed I am by His grace. He is this holy, perfect, complete Being who desires to be in relationship with us. Weird. I appreciate your thoughts and the readings. I will check back, so please continue...
