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.

Got Problems?

Psalms 27:12 (KJV) Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

(Proverbs 17 also read)

When I think of David, I think of him marching triumphantly out to face Goliath.  I think of him with his sling and his stones, and coming to victory with no fear in his heart.  I think of him as the king of Israel being victorious over his foes.  Usually I forget about the fact that he went through some really hard times.  Some of it he brought upon himself.  Some was outside his control.

It’s good for us to remind ourselves of how even people like David, who is described as being a man after God’s own heart, went through some real struggles.  It should be a reminder to us that our road will not always be smooth.  It should also remind us that God will be there for us because as you continue to read or go back through the verses you find David putting his trust in God.

So?  I hope this is a good day for you.  I hope your blessings are overflowing your cups.  But if not, keep in mind that God is still there and still waiting to meet with you and still waiting to bless you.  Rejoice.
