From a friend: "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
And: "You are in the right place."
How easy it is to forget these things.
I was reading 2 Chronicles (14-15) this morning and came across lots of places where the Lord gave people rest. One was after the king then, Asa, tore down all the places of idolatry and commanded everyone to seek the Lord. Another was after everyone took an oath to seek the Lord with all of their heart and soul, and when they sought him eagerly, he gave them rest.
Wondering: what are the high places in my life? And in what ways am I not seeking the Lord? What would doing so eagerly look like?
Lots of questions. This is good.
Coming soon: fun stuff about ski. And less colons!
I like your posts - it makes me reflect a lot.
ReplyDeleteHigh places in my life would be my family. It's not perfect; once broken, even. But it's my highest point. Every time I sin, I choose not to seek the Lord. And doing so eagerly for me means being happy with what you do despite and in spite of hardships.
Looking forward to post about ski.:)

ReplyDeletejust curious, did you mean choose to or not to seek the Lord? i wasn't sure what you meant.
