I sat down this morning asking some questions. God's got the answers. I know that. I know it well. That is one reason I stick with Proverbs. The book seems to hit on the things I need, the motivation I am asking for and give the direction and wisdom for my journey.
Today was no different. God showed up. In the middle of everything else going on, God began to speak. No, not a loud, audible voice. He gave me a double sense of his presence and this truth that won't let me stay where I am, asking questions, or allow me to change roads.
Here is some of that wisdom from Proverbs 18 (nlt):
10 - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
12 - Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor.
15 - Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.
20 - Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction.
24 - There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
God is always speaking. When He seems silent, I am just not listening. He knows what His kids need, and He knows what is best. I love that about our God. In fact, He wants us to begin and end with Him every day and in every situation.
He is real. He has real direction for us.
I have been so encouraged by Margaret Fienberg and am about to share her new book with our leadership team. Her fresh thoughts about God and our walk with Him are awesome and encouraging. Spend some time with her online or get her new book "The Organic God".
God, thank you for giving us fresh insight and your presence!
