I believe it's been about two years now that I've begun my morning quiet time by writing Proverbs 3:5-6 at the top of each day's journal page. I used the version of these scriptures found in The Message Bible - "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the One Who will keep you on track." It became my daily reminder to do what it said-to trust God and to quit trying to figure things out myself.
This past week I thought I'd dig deeper into this passage. To do that I simply explored the words of the passage in the original language. What used to involve the need to have an extensive library of concordances and lexicons and other Bible study books is now readily available and accessible through apps like blue letter bible or bible hub . (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, March 14th at Woman to Woman Ministries, where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)
still following,
Seems to be the vein in the posts this morning...Trust. The strength in this scripture, I certainly need. Trusting... Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI think that truly trusting God is a challenge for all of us!
DeleteWriting that verse must have embedded it thoroughly in your heart and mind!
ReplyDeleteIt has helped though I am still a work in progress on living it out daily!
DeleteHi Elizabeth ... I'm so inspired by the way you write out that verse every day when you journal. Oh, I just love that. Thank you for the gentle nudge to go there.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from a long ago reader!
