Devo Time

 

Well these are some piks from the balcony of pastor Mike’s house. I had such a blessed time just seeking the Lord and hearing from Him there in the morning. Now in my devos, I don’t always get spoken to about relationships, but the first morning I was there God definitely showed me some beautiful things. Reading through Jesus Christ’ genealogy in Matthew Chapter 1:5, it was interesting to note that Boaz was the son of Rahab the harlot. When that clicked in my head, I was reminded of Proverbs 31. Proverbs 31 is the advice that was given to king Lemuel from his mother. Tradition, theologians, and logic tell us that Lemuel was Solomon’s pet name given by his mother. Proverbs 31 is the ultimate goal for every women, in the sense of good characteristics. When we put two and two together we see that the advice given to Solomon for the proverbs 31 woman was given to him by Bathsheba his mother who laid with David while married to Uzziah. With both these beautiful redemption thoughts in mind, it was so cool to remember that God has all the beauties for our lives already planned out. It doesn’t matter what backgrounds we come from, or what mess ups we have done. Our God is great and rich in mercy, we don’t need to to try to make our own  “perfect” plans. As we follow Him, we can trust that His thoughts and desires for us are good and perfect. He is so good, and has the best for us. As His followers we can’t allow doubt and guilt to rob us of the blessings He has, whether with relationships or anything else He has for us. God has the best, He has called to the best, and as His followers in Him we are the best for those plans He has made. We just must choose to walk in them confidently by His grace for His glory.
