I’m going to be in a wedding (relax not as the groom). A student from two years ago (J.D.) got a hold of me this evening and asked if I wanted to be a groomsman. I said sure. I think it’s cool. Any way other than that today was uneventful. The weather was beautiful, so it was hard being stuck in an office. I finished ordering the stuff for the Trading Post (I came in under budget) so it should hopefully get here end of this week beginning of next. I also finished (to the best of my ability) getting the stuff we do have set up in the Trading Post. I’m supposed to cook lunch tomorrow. Ok, done.
Psalm 65:6-11 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power. Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou has so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abudantly: tho usettlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
What a mighty, powerful, awesome God we serve.
Proverbs 28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not proser: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
As much as I mock the whole “transparency” buzz word, it is not good to hide sin. However something I’ve noticed in my life, I’ve got no problem confessing my sins, I simply don’t forsake them. People fail to realize this. My confession is totally empty if I do not change. I could stand on the street corner shouting out my sins, but if I keep doing them it is meaningless. Faith without works is dead.
28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
“Follow your heart”, is one of the most pervasive lies in America today IMO. I hear it every where from movies, to music, to church. My heart is above all things, first and foremost, deceitful. Any time I’m following it I’m not following Christ. They are mutually exclusive. I cannot serve two masters.
