A couple ((i think)) weeks ago I started reading Proverbs. My plan is to before bed at least read one or two chapters while taking notes and then look up other translations and messages to the meanings. It seems to be a good idea since Proverbs is the book of wisdom. right? I hope so.
The past few days I have been bad, I haven’t read it 😦 I literally felt angry and disappointed in myself. AGH!! Sorry I had a moment of panic. I couldn’t find where I placed my bible. <–See neglectful!! Anyway, God apparently has a sense of humor. I needed some wisdom this week!
I have been feeling really frustrated these past few days! I forgot where I rested my bible for petes sake!! I think he is saying, “Jess, what are you doing? you were doing so good!! Don’t let them get to you, just listen” Well that brings me back to Chapter 1 of Proverbs. This verse REALLY stuck out…
Proverbs 1: 15-16 – ” my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.”
Again this goes back to the “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” but it reminded me to get back onto my path. I am far from perfect and a mistake will be made here and there and when it does ((obviously)) God will show me that I need to get back on his path. My fuse has been so short since friday, I am praying that getting back into my godly routine will help. Also some sleep…much needed sleep!! THis is just a itty bitty tid bit of whats to come!! Stay tuned!!
Thanks for reading! If anyone has any pointers on how to help me study his word and to help me make it a permanent part of my routine, advice will graciously be taken!!
