Alright, this is NOT the post I was starting to write earlier, but sometimes God interrupts our thoughts and plans with Himself.
After writing "Looking for Answers" yesterday on the blog, this morning I opened my devotional book and this is the VERY FIRST verse I read: "The meek will he teach his way." Psalm 25:9
Honestly, it took my breath away. Then He continued.
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5) "When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13)
Oh, His personal Word to me is so precious. Yesterday I came to Him questioning and looking for answers. Today He is promising to teach, liberally give wisdom and guide me into all truth. I love that He doesn't view my searching with contempt or reproach. He sees the honest longing of my heart that desires to know Him.
What do I have to do? I need to come humbly, under submission and with gentleness. I need to ask God to give me understanding. I need to allow His Spirit to direct my thoughts and teach me.
Oh Lord, I come to You hungry. Hungry to know You above all. Thank You for Your Word to me today. May I be like those in Berea who "received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so". (Acts 17:11)
