QT Proverbs 2

Proverbs 2: 1 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.

Wow, doesn't this just say... LOOK TO GOD !!!!! Go ahead and Him for help. Call out to God for the answers and the help.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

He will protect you!

8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God. [a]
18 Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the just
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

So, if we look to got for the wisdom we need, He will give it to us. This is so true. Last night at midweek we were discussing "God and Money". I totally believe what was preached. We need to make sure we put God first, then family. Our wants are just that, wants. What's the big deal if you don't have the best looking house, or the best looking car. We need to put God before all else and focus on what He wants us to do.

He wants us to share our wisdom of His son Jesus with others. He wants us to love others, no matter if we like the things they do or say. I am just as sinful as the next. I get angry and frustrated often as well. I will focus on Him when I begin to feel this way. Jesus died for me. He died so I could make it to heaven.

When I think of heaven I think of lots of music, dancing, and partying. We'll be playing softball and I'll be able to throw a ball then! I'll be able to dance and not step on anyone's feet!

God made today for us. He made my day today with sunshine and rain. With little smiling faces surrounding me. With loving animals (which really is awesome!) that don't care if you have short or long hair.

I will enjoy today to the best of my ablility. I am so grateful that I have today. That I am healthy. That I have a job. That I have God's word and love. And that He hasn't given up on me and He never will.

To HIM I am so grateful.
