An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Another Chance

Proverbs 1:24 (KJV) Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

This verse reflects the fact that God in His wisdom has been calling out to us.  I’m sure there are times when we have listened, but this reflects the times that we have not.  I hope you had a great year but now it’s time to start a new one and to think about the directions we’re going to go.

God has called.  He is calling again.  We have a chance to take His hand to move forward.  If you have time to read the rest of this chapter, you’ll find that He does have an end to His patience.  Later on there are some scary moments where it says that He will not respond.

So?  Let’s begin the new year determined to listen and respond.  What have you got to lose?  Actually quite a lot.  What have you got to gain?  Possibly even more than you have to lose.  Happy new year.
