Proverbs 19

Proverbs 19:3 “People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.”

This verse made me think about how many times I get myself in a bind and have nobody to blame but myself.  We want so much from the Lord and we expect everything to go our way because we prayed about it.  We need to look at what we are doing and ask, does the way we live resemble Christ or are we living to enjoy the world and add Christ as a patch? 

In Proverbs 16:2 it says, “People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives.”

We need to truly surrender to the lord and not fight getting our strength from Him and remember to constantly be filling ourselves with God’s word and prayer so we know how to get through all situations.  Amen

It makes you wonder sometimes, we ask God to take care of us, but we don't surrender our whole being to him for care. We ask for His help to do what we want to do, but we don't ask if it is what He wants us to do. Then if things go wrong we are upset, saying God let us down and why should He treat us this way. Let's try to surrender our whole selves to God and let the Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do. Can you imagine what a witness that would be to non-believers? And what a joyful, peaceful life it would be for all of us. Amen
