Proverbs 1: 2-4 The Living Bible
“He wrote them to
teach his people how to live- how to act in every circumstance, for he wanted
them to be understanding, just and fair in everything they did. “ I want to
make the simple-minded wise!” he said.
“I want to warn young men about some problems they will face.” ”
When I was 17 years old, I started
college. I was a determined young woman
who had a dream. I was going to start at
a community college for a couple of semesters, and then transfer out of state
to a Baptist college to receive a degree in Youth Ministry and Psychology. I was
going to get married at 18, finish college at age 20, and then begin a life of
splendor at age 21. I never did go to
that fancy school and major in Youth Ministry or Psychology. Well, at age 18, I was not married. At age 20, I didn’t graduate college. When my 21st birthday rolled
around, I was no where near a life of what I thought was splendor. Those were my determinations, and my
plans. I was a simple-minded person who
needed wisdom.
Through it
all, the Lord makes us stronger and wiser.
His ways are filled with riches, even though we can’t see them right
away.
Romans 9:4
states, “God has given you so much, but still you will not listen to him. He took you as his own special, chosen people
and led you along with a bright cloud of glory and told you how very much he
wanted to bless you. He gave you his
rules for daily life so you would know what he wanted you to do. He let you
worship him, and gave you mighty promise.”
No matter
your goals in life, be it family, career, or college, the Lord has given you
the path to walk to make it towards His plans for you. The Word of God is your guide book! Use it,
because you will need it for the rest of your life. It isn’t hard sometimes. Believe me, I know. In the end, it become worth it.
I love how much God loves to practice the art of English. He has used Metaphors, Hypothesis, Social perspective, Editing,
Assessment, Drafting, Looping, and lots of Punctuation to mold me into the
person I am today. And the desires of my
heart have not been forgotten because the deepest desires have been placed
there by Christ alone. He is might to
give me the man of my dreams, put my through every college course I may ever
have to take, and provide me with every ministry He desires for me to be apart
of. Life isn’t always filled with
what we think splendor looks like. The splendor that never ends
is the beauty of His Creation!
Life is a journey worth walking
through with Jesus Christ. But don’t be
discouraged when something doesn’t go as planned. These trials and troubles make it clear how
you can’t plan your life without Christ by your side. Remember
Romans 8:28.
Word of Wisdom for The Week: “Falling is hard, but knowing who is there to
lift you up, makes the scrapes a little less painful.”
Dios le bendiga,
