now

i think its funny how people say that God's word doesn't speak to today. that the bible has nothing to say about current events or nothing that speaks to their direct situation. this morning i read in proverbs that . . .

'better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice'

hello did you see the news last night. a 90% tax on all those bonuses!!! and who says the bible doesn't have anything to say today about our world right now. and how about this next verse . . .

'the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps'

well you all know what's going on in my life and how can that not just speak directly into my circumstances right now. and then for those doubting how about this verse later on . . .

'the lot is cast into the lap, but every decision is from the Lord.'

again its all about living in the now. we need to go with what information we have right now. not what we could have know, or wished we knew yesterday. God's word speaks and it speaks now. and sometimes i find it funny that we (and i mean me) complain about how we want a word from God and we just want to know. well its in His word and it is speaking now for now! now thankful for:

* that God's word is always relevant and always speaks now!

* some positive encouragement with my visa situation :)

* a great evening laughing and sharing stories with a friend and my parents- simple pleasures :)

just keep praying. all is not clear but God has a plan and a direction. pray i gracefully learn all the lessons i need to and that my faith continues to grow and not be shaken.

also really thankful for friends and having a fun night out at a princeton hockey game . . .
