Well, I guess this is my attempt at somewhat regular posting. Once again, I'm at Mika's (an excellent coffeeshop by my estimation), having had yet more problems with my computer at home. This time I think it is more due to my screwing around with it than anything else though. Anyway, as the title of this post suggests, not any real news or incidents to write about. I was reading Proverbs 1 the other night, and the last half of that chapter struck me as especially relevant to my current situation.
Verse 22 - “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools
hate knowledge?"
This is Wisdom's question to start the passage, and most of the rest describes those that reject her reproof and correction. How often do I find myself as a simple scoffer? This scripture convicts me to really take my study of the Word more seriously that I may glean real truths from it. I do take comfort from the last verse in the chapter and know that I can rest in my Lord.
Verse 33 - "..but whoever listens to me will dwell secure
and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.”
