Read, pray, show up and follow promptings....
BUT, when the rubber met the road Monday morning and our weeks were off to a running start maybe it didn't turn out as easy as you thought it would be.
Read - one chapter of Proverbs every day from now until the end of the Destination series in March
Pray - every day pray Proverbs 3:5-6 for yourself
Show up - OK, so that one was easy to check off for last Sunday, we were there... but will you be this Sunday?
Follow God's promptings - When you hear them, all-in
So, how are you doing? I have to confess I had to double up on reading one day this week to make up for missing a day already. And a couple of days, I found myself reading and needing to re-read because I didn't read it for content I read it just to "check it off the list". So, back in I went so that I could really read it and discover what God had for me to learn that day.
Today, I read chapter 8. I found a really cool promise I thought I'd tell you about. In verse 17 the promise is that if we search for wisdom we will find it.
I love promises like that in the Bible. They feel like things I can really "hang my hat on". So, this is the promise that our search this season as we commit to study Proverbs and search it for the wisdom to lead our lives... this search will not come back as another futile new year's attempt at change... We will find the wisdom we need to lead our lives better than last year - to lead them well. I'm going to hang on to that promise as we go through Destinations.
What have you found in your study of Proverbs? What are you learning?
