So today I woke up and I read my BIble. I feel like I ma in a halt in the road of learning. I hate these times because i kinda fall away from Christ. My brother wrote something today about Proverbs 2 and he wanted me to read it. I did. He was talking about where my heart is, remakarkably.
Basically its like when we stop learning we allow things of the world to get a hold of our lives, we go for satisfaction and fir what the world calls as beauty. Its almost like teh world surfaces a beauty secreted in deception to pull us away. It can be scary. But when we encounter this, I now am beginning how to see how to fight it, we need to ask ourselves before allowing ourselves to be fooled what is true beauty? We dont see true beauty with our eyes. It is about what is inside. That is all that matters. Its almost like imagine a really nice present. There is a beautiful box with wrapping paper with creases folded perfectly and it has confetti all aroun it. The bow is neatly tied and fits perfectly with both the style and colors of the wrapping paper. Perfect. Beautiful. so at first we are enticed by this present only something good could come out of such a box. Although, once we open it we find nothing but mildew on the insides of the box and mold. Ugly colors almost like it was rained on and then dried up with a whole bunch of bacterias, beyond this what is inside the box is nothing. Not even an item. Just a rotten ordor. Was it really worth it? The present could have even been labeled on whats inside or we may have heard from someone that it was really horrible on the inside. Although all we sall was the beauty on the outside. Maybe we should have looked at the signs right in front of us. Be a little patient
what do we do when we get to a halt in the road like this? Where do we turn. Look to God and be patient, we will learn. Just keep walking on this peaceful road and appreciate the stillness while its there..for we may just need it in the days to come.
