All Ears

Day five of my 40 days of Lenten posts.

Listen to me! For I have important information for you. Everything I say is right and true, for I hate lies and every kind of deception. My advice is wholesome and good. There is nothing of evil in it. My words are plain and clear to anyone with half a mind-if it is only open! My instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold." Proverbs 8:6-10 TLB

Are the words we speak worth listening to?

Trust

How complete is our trust in our Heavenly Father?

But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Ps 13:5 NIV

When I am overcome by a situation and feel like I am walking alone, I remind myself that this state of affairs was not a surprise to God. He did not suddenly throw up His hands and say, “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that to happen to Diane. I don’t know what to do.”

He was aware from the beginning that this was going to take place and He has a plan for my good. That brings a level of peace to me. My part now is to trust, listen and obey.


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD... Jer 29:11-14 NIV

May the Lord give you peace in whatever crisis you are currently facing. The cross proves that He can be trusted.
