Acts11: 17 If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”
This verse hit me. I work in a church, doing a lot with video production and worship visuals. But I have been feeling overwhelmed lately, and my boss will be leaving soon to an amazing job opportunity several states away. Recently, I new person looking to volunteer and she is wanting to take on duties that tend to be part of my job. I have been feeling hesitant about it, but this particular volunteer is actually in college studying video production.
If God has given her the same gifts and passion as me, set her in my path at a time when I need to start giving up tasks, so I can be able to take on the additional tasks coming my way than who am I to try to stand in God’s way? I need to get over myself, and let this person help, because ultimately it is allowing someone the chance to help share the message of Christ. -
The fool, the sluggard, and the quarrelsome wife. We read of them in the proverbs and glaze over with the thought of “well I am not that”. The proverbs are meant to guide us and reveal to us the folly of going away from wisdom. In little ways we drift toward the track of the fool and the sluggard and quarrelsome wife. May we take heed and recognize through the proverbs how we should flee from that way.

26 Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe. …And This matches up with the Acts reading too. I mean, what amazes me is how these believers were so in tune with God they hear messages directing them- and even though they don’t understand or they are uncomfortable- they have confidence in the message from God and they obey. Wow!! They don’t trust in themselves but have wisdom to obey. Lord I really do want to be this in tune and wise! Please help me!

Verse 19 was so powerful today!!

6 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity
than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.
This stood out to me today. -
I am loving the lessons and guidance in proverbs!

This stuck out to me today. Oh how Jesus must have felt with Judas…
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
