Wait for the LORD

".... never wish you could go back to the world again, but accept the circumstance as it is, and put it as it stands, simply and with your whole heart, without any selfish agenda, into the hands of your covenant God, saying "Now, Lord, not my will, but Yours be done. I do not know what to do. I am at an end of myself, but I will wait until You part the floods or drive back my enemies. I will wait, even if You test me for a while, for my heart is fixed upon You alone, O God, and my spirit waits for You in the deep conviction that You will still be my joy and my salvation, my refuge and my strong tower." - C H Spurgeon

What a beautiful prayer of waiting upon the LORD. I pray that this deep conviction be mine as well.

Proverbs 3:7 - Turn Away From Evil

Joshua Harris preaches from Proverbs 3:7 - Turn Away from Evil. He gives an excellent visual illustration with a beanbag and drives home the point that we need to turn from evil.




Harris' words ring true. How often do we flirt with evil, rationalizing our actions and justifying our motives? When to be wise, we are to fear the LORD, and turn away and flee from evil. A little step closer here, a little compromise there, what harm can it be? Until finally we are consumed by evil.

"Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil." - Proverbs 3:7 (ESV)

Who or What is really your God?

"To whatever we look for any good thing and for refuge in every need, that is what is meant by 'god.' To have a god is nothing else than to trust and believe in him from the heart.... To whatever you give your heart and entrust your being, that, I say, is really your god."
- Martin Luther
