Phew, it's been a morning! Complete with running to CVS to print pictures of a horse so I can apply for horse papers for one of our customers. Never a dull moment in Ag!
Hooray for rain Karlyn! So, so glad. I know the ground is saying thank you, thank you, thank you!
S - "We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." vs. 1
O - So much in this world will try to persuade us and try to look good and try to tempt us away from the solid truth. We must be on guard and pay "careful attention" to stand firm in the Word. We must know what we believe and why (something that's been brought up in this blog before).
A - If I may, I'd like to take a slight turn with verse 1...these past 3 weeks have been pretty difficult at work. There has been a situation come up that I have chosen not to be a part of, but in doing so I have had to endure the whispering and gossiping that is going on at the front of the office while I work at my desk. I have heard tidbits of information, but no truth. No confirmed facts. It has not been fun, but yesterday some light finally came. The water is not totally clear, but at least there was a small breakthrough. What we hear and what we allow to consume our thoughts and chose to believe determines whether we live a life of victory or defeat. I chose victory!
P - Lord help me be careful what I hear that I may not drift away, but yet stand firm in the truth.
Ginny, I can totally understand. I'm kind of going through the same kind of thing. I've been really evaluating my friendships and words I speak. I'm striving to come to Him or write in my prayer journal whenever I'm tempted or frustrated. I'll be praying for you.
