Today is proverbs 2, and I am just now finally getting around to reading it. I am frustrated that my day was just that incredibly busy that I’m just now getting time to myself, and really I should be going to bed because I got a call that my opener in my room is ill and I have to open, so I gotta get up at 5am!!! eek.
Today has been a sad day in my little world. I don’t know why, I mean I know why I was sad but I don’t know why I have to deal with it so often. It must be the healing process, grieving over what has been lost, and what could have been. Remembering certain things that brought joy to my heart that are no longer. I’m definitely grieving over some things, and I also have to recognize that this is part of a process and it is OK to have these moments, but then to also release them into the Lord’s care, which I have been doing more today than usual, so it’s the end of the day and I’m really not sitting in self-pity and despair right now. I’m actually just here. Just being, and now reading Proverbs 2.
Proverbs 2 feels like a continuation of Proverbs 1 because Solomon continues to exhort his son to receive wisdom and apply it to his heart. I also like how he again mentions that when you receive wisdom you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God which is basically what I am searching out in my consecration. This is my favorite part;
when wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things, from those who leave the paths of righteousness to walk in the ways of darkness. Who rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the perversity of the wicked; whose ways are crooked and who are devious in their paths.
Again, clear as day – when you have wisdom in your heart, when you have the knowledge of God, and the fear of the Lord – all these things will preserve you and teach you to walk in the ways of righteousness. I just appreciate how simple this is, and I can’t fathom why it hasn’t hit me before.
So I need to get crackin’ on the song of songs study but I have something going on just about every night this week, and on top I have to finish up all my coursework for my CDA because my final exam is fast approaching. I know I can get it done, I just have to sit down and do it. And I’m still waiting to hear about a new job possibility, which is agonizing because it’s been weeks now. I just want to know if I’m going to change jobs or not.
Peace, be still.
