The Way He Sees It

Proverbs 5:1 (MSG)
Dear friend, pay close attention to this, my wisdom; listen
very closely to the way I see it.

What a beautiful day we had here today!!  Warm and sunny.....not a cloud in the sky and 74 degrees.  It was such a welcome change from the dreariness of the past week. 

Tonight's verse gets my attention in a huge way.  This is the beginning of a new chapter, so I can't wait to hear the way the writer of Proverbs "sees it."  Those words are very intriguing to me, because our perception of things.....or the "way we see it," determines how we will respond to our surroundings.  If my perception of what's going on around me is distorted, then I am frequently going to  be responding inappropriately to those circumstances.  I have to have His perception of wisdom, to be able to make wise decisions in every area of my life.

Praying tonight for continued revelation of His wisdom and the perseverance and strength to fulfill His purposes through my life.

Book Review: Diary of a Cavewoman by KyAnne Weaver

This book is an extraordinary read!  Every woman, mother, and wife will benefit from reading this text.  (Husbands too, for that matter!)

Diary of a Cavewoman by KyAnne Weaver, took me from laughing out loud (literally) to a deeply contemplative frame of mind in the course of a few page turns.  KyAnne’s ability to be candid about her experiences as a mother of three boys and the wife of a pastor serve both to encourage and challenge the reader.  She draws from a deep well of scripture that is obviously as much a part of her life as the breath that she breathes. 

Her stories of doing life in “the cave” are nothing short of hilarious, but the Godly wisdom to be gleaned from her life accounts as she takes you to the Word of God are refreshing and immeasurable. This book needs to be on your “must read” list for 2011!  I’m hoping that this will be the first of many books by this author. 

Weapon of Warfare: The Word Of God

Proverbs 4:7 (ESV)
Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.

An ability to see and understand clearly the inner nature of things is the Webster Dictionary's definition of insight.

Do Not Lose Sight

Proverbs 3:21 (ESV)
My son, do not lose sight of these-keep sound wisdom and discretion,

I have terrible myopia!  Without assistance from glasses or contacts, I can only see my hand when it is about two inches from my face.

Beautiful

Proverbs 3:17 (MSG)
Her manner is beautiful, her life wonderfully complete.

I love the outdoors and the warmth of the sun on my face after many cold weeks of winter.
