Psalm 32:8 (plus a little more)

“8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.”

I wonder if God isn’t implying “and by the way, the reason you’ll need instruction, counseling and watching over is because life is a test. Oh, yeah, it’s a big test.”

This life is tough for most people (though tough here is nothing like tough in other places). This life is just how it is; but does this life make sense if there

is nothing more than this? Call it wishful thinking if you will, but the beauty of this world is only a glimpse of what is coming to those who seek His protection through Christ.

For me, I chose to believe because it makes sense if you really think about it. It also give hope to someday answering the “why” questions.

“9 Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.” Trust that He knows better than you how to get through life.

“10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trust in Him.” Live in his counsel and the safety it provides.

Go big in life by following Him!

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
