Coloring Inside The Lines
on November 24th, 2020
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. – Proverbs 16:9 One of the first educational lessons I learned in life was to color inside the lines.

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” – Genesis 12:1 The question presented by the text is not whether God was going to bless Abram.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:5 When the Lord tells David that he is not going to be the one to build the temple, I really like the fact that David seems at peace with God’s “no” and doesn’t have a pity party.
