Proverbs 18:10 In the dead of life

Posted on by Just broken

Proverbs 18:10
“The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.”

“But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night.”
Lyrics from Good Good Father composed by Pat Barret and Tony Brown

I’ve heard that tender whisper of love. Have you?

I have a different take on it this morning though:

But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of life.

The tender whisper of love throughout the day and night as we live our lives, dead to the God who is whispering those tender whispers, dead to truly being alive.

Who hasn’t heard those tender whispers? Who hasn’t felt the presence of that love? Who hasn’t felt the presence of that joy?

The name of the Lord is strong enough to cast His light into the darkest corners of life from a position of indomitable strength, from His fortified tower.

Come, listen, hear the whispers of love in the dead of life.

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
