You'll Never Walk Alone
“My son, if you will receive my words and treasure my
commandments within you, so that your ear is attentive to skilful and godly
wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding and seeing it conscientiously and
striving for it eagerly; yes, if you cry out for insight, and lift up your
voice for understanding;
“if you seek skilful and godly wisdom as you would silver
and search for her as you would hidden treasures; then you will understand the
reverent fear of the Lord, that is worshipping Him and regarding Him as truly
awesome, and discover the knowledge of God.
“For the Lord gives skilful and godly wisdom; from His
mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores away sound wisdom for the righteous – those who are in right
standing with Him; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity – those of
honourable character and moral courage,
“He guards the paths of justice; and He preserves the way
of His saints. Then you will understand
righteousness and justice in every circumstance and integrity and every good
path. For skilful and godly wisdom will
enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.” Proverbs 2:1-10 - The Amplified Bible
Scientists and scholars dig and dig trying to ‘unravel’ all of
Creation in an effort to explain away God.
Archaeologists explore and also dig and dig to either find or refute
proof that God exists; and He exists as the Bible explains.
You and I search the Scriptures to see if we can understand
God and all He is doing in our lives. Yet,
sometimes it is more like stepping haltingly through dense fog. Perhaps, that is the important lesson we can
take from the book of Job -- that God does His best work in our lives when we
choose to trust Him for our good … and His glory.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays with and for you each day)
