Bombarded with choices, decisions?...always!
Good, better, best does not always work to help figure things out.
As I read through Proverbs one this struck me to stop, look, listen, live!
The word WHEN repeats starting in verse 27-
calamity, disaster, distress, trouble overwhelms you!
Then:
they will call, look for the Lord v. 28
When we let things go on and on trying to FIX THINGS. I repeat fix things. Our brain spiral with ideas of how to fix things. You feel exhausted and dead when circumstances just don't change or get better. You go at it again. I didn't try this or this. I'll do this and the result again is you feel dead and lonely inside!. Verse. 12 says, "The complacency of fools will destroy them." WE ARE CAUSING THIS FEELING OF BEING dead inside.
Do you know that feeling?
It's a warning a sign where we must stop, look, listen, PRAY! Confess we are in control!
v. 33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.
Let us pray today:
WHEN...........(fill in the blank, name your calamity) let my THEN be the story you write. No my way Lord but your way! Lord help me to wait on you and listen so you can fix...............today.
In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
We know the WHEN will strike (don't hold your breath in fear waiting for it to creep up on you)
focus on the the THEN that Jesus wants to bring to situations.
Play the song Trust and obey (I looked up the song and listened) how beautiful!
Conclude:
v. 20- Wisdom calls, raises her voice, cries out, she makes her speech. 22. How long will you simple ones lover your simple ways?
God-If you listen I will "Pour out my heart to you and make my thoughts known to you!"
