Love through My Pores

The path of the righteous is like the gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:19)

I imagine myself taking a nice quiet walk on a beautiful spring day with the sun glistening through the trees and the beautiful smell from the fresh flowers blooming.  Righteousness shines brightly as we walk in the Lord and His ways.  It cannot be denied as we walk forward in the Lord and His plans unfolded in the Word of God.  This reminds me of a story where one man was able to save his city through the wisdom he had.  Let me share this story with you.  I can only hope you will find the incredible treasure I see in it, as I do every time I read it.

Moments of Tranquility

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. (Psalm 62:5-6)

Today I found myself in that familiar place of solitude.  A place of quietness.  A place where it was just God and me.  A moment in time where I was with my Father and nothing else mattered.  A moment where I found rest!  Oh, how my soul longs for those moments alone with God!  I love my husband dearly and I need my time alone with him too, but there are times I need to just get away with God.  I’m not talking about my devotional time.  I need that every day.  I’m talking about those moments in time where peace reigns in my soul and the very existence of time ceases to matter.  Have you had a moment with God like that lately?

He Holds the Answers

Then Job replied to the Lord:  ‘I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:1-2)

Are you in a place of testing right now?  Does it feel like everything is going wrong?  Do you feel like you have more questions than answers right now?  Do you feel like Job?  Have you heard Job’s story?  Well, let’s start from the beginning.

Job started by losing his servants, his oxen, donkeys, sheep, camels, and his children.  He went away to mourn the loss of his children.  He did not understand, yet he continued to trust in God saying these very words…

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” (Job 1:21)

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.  Do everything in love. (1 Corinthians 16:13-14)

It’s amazing how God’s Word can be broken down passage by passage and retain such knowledge for us in today!  This passage in particular shares five commands that God has laid out very simply and clearly for us.  They are not to be taken lightly and not to be ignored.  I pray you will take each one into consideration and ask yourself how you can become stronger in each area.  Let’s start at the beginning.

1.  Be on your Guard.
