Read with me cover-to-cover. 2024. Share what I've learned in the dark, in the light. Start the Old & on January 1st. About 3 chapters per day. About 15 minutes of your day. Join us as the "axe of Biblical Love thaws the frozen parts" (66LL) in our hearts. My focus this year is sharing what God has done for me over the years---and trusting God to weave every single day.

July 18 "Motives" Proverbs 16-18
"To humans belong the plans of the heart
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue."
All a person's ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
Proverbs 16:1-2
We are not sufficient in ourselves to think or speak anything.
All our sufficiency is of God.
God is always with our mouth and our thoughts and our heart.
While we do purpose and plan
with freedom of heart,
the delivery and design,
the issue and success is of the Lord, not of man.
God disposes.
God breaks our measures.
Father, break our thoughts, our hearts, our plans---with Yours.
Matthew Henry says: "There is a great deal of pollution
cleaving to our ways."
God weighs our spirit in a just and unerring balance, knows us full,
passes a judgment Tekel "upon that which passed our scale with approbation,
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
By His Judgment we stand or fall.
