An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Assumptions

Psalm 9:10 (KJV) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

(Proverbs 20 also Read)

There’s a glorious promise here, but it is a promise that is based on an assumption.

The promise is that God will not “forsake us”.  He will not abandon us.  He will not leave us to the wolves.  What a glorious promise that is.  It should give us a sense of confidence and security as we face the future.

Don’t forget the assumption that goes along with this.  It is that you are sincere as you “seek Him”.  It’s not just a matter of offering up a quick last minute prayer.  It’s not a matter of keeping God on the back burner until you really need him.  It’s a matter of targeting Him, seeking.  It is sincere and it is a matter of genuine devotion.

So?  Seek him.  He is waiting.  He is listening.  He is watching.  He knows your heart and is willing to respond to genuine concerns.
