Proverbs 25 - 27; Romans 15

Be still
Wait

When you've run around doing and saying whatever you want for so damn long that's probably what I NEED to hear.....it's hard tho, I am struggling with alot today......probably not much different from other days it's just today there's a softness that makes it seem like the TRUTH...

Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

reading the Proverbs this time and seeing all the applicable wisdom...James the same way. The Word is in me and now to live it.....be still and know.....wait...it all makes sense and the softness, well that helps it to go deep, it lets me know You are with me and in me and life with You is much better, not easier....better, with You...thank you Abba for all of it....for the HOPE You offer.
