After a hiatus of this little crazy trip to Disney with 170 middle schoolers, I am trying to catch up on all my blogging and reading. It had every intention of attempting keep up with my Bible reading while gone, but 14 hour days in the heat and walking will wear a body out!!
Proverbs ... some of my favorites:
10:4 Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. ~ This one was especially dear to us in 2003. We had just moved to "the big house" and the little ones were feeding themselves, potty training for Leah was on the horizon, there was lots and lots of room to spread out, and we had almost survived the baby years. Then, a few months later, I found out I was pregnant with Katie. Yeah, that was not in OUR plan, but she turned out to be exactly what we needed!!
18:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. ~ Companion verse to above!!
21:2 A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. ~ And again!
Ecclesiastes
The main thing that struck me this time was in 3:2-8, A Time for Everything. In that little ditty, the point to remember is that HALF of all the events mentioned include pain. The LORD made pain and joy both for us to experience.
Songs of Songs
7:11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages.
Take some time away and spend it with your spouse. Then read the rest of the book together. The end.
O:)
