It's funny. I've had all evening that I wanted to do my reading/quiet time. I just wasn't settled. Then, everyone went to bed. The time was suddenly right. So, I'll share now, where the Lord took me last night...
Part of my problem lately has been lack of direction. Probably more that I haven't sought it and let myself get distracted. So, I decided that I would just start back over the things I learned in the class I was taking. Isaiah 55 stood out. So, I started the passage and was immediately hit by verse 2. Why waste time, money, emotions trying to fill a God shaped hole? It reminded me of the concept in The Gospel of Wholeness about digging dry wells in an attempt to fill the void only God can fill. I think, my next series of study will revolve around the GoW verses. I just don't have them ready for tonight's reading- which is going to build from the key verses from last night.
I started crossing the verses that stuck out at me last night. Verse 6 took me a few places. Things that stood out to me weren't necessarily the specific cross reference, but in the surrounding verses...
Psalm 32:7
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Psalm 33:10
Many are the woes of the wicked but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.
Acts 17:27
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
The last one hit me, deep. So, tonight, I'm going to build off those verses and see where He takes me. Funny, when I started, I had no clue where to go. I asked, I was drawn. Amazing love.
