Hello! Rather crazy at work today, so I missed posting in the morning. Hope everyone is doing good and ready to start the weekend! I had an early dinner with a friend tonight, running club tomorrow, church and WW meeting Sunday. I've also been reading a lot lately, so hopefully I can get some of that in too this weekend :) I finished Kelly Minter's The Fitting Room. It was good. She had a lot of good thoughts. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
S - So many verses I could have chosen for today's posting. As I was flipping through Proverbs and skimming over the underlined verses I came across Proverbs 3:26. It says, "For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught."
O - When I read this verse I am reminded how God is our protector. He wants us to succeed and prosper. Because of His love for us, He keeps us out of snares so that we may stay on the straight path, not turning to the left or to the right. We can have confidence in His plans.
A - How often I place my confidence in other things or people: acting right, looking right, knowing the right information, saying the right thing, and on and on and on. God is the confidence that never fades. He is the confidence that I can draw upon in every situation. He is constant and He looks out for me. He wants what is best for me. Sometimes I struggle with this b/c I really want what I desire to come true and what if what is best is not what I want?
P - Lord we know every Sunday School answer and every good Baptist cliche, but sometimes it just takes walking through. I trust you and I believe Your ways are higher. Please forgive my pride and selfish control.
If I would just live in his confidence every day so many of my frustrations would just not be frustrating anymore! Thanks for that verse!
