Finding Myself
Posted in Faith, Fulfillment, tagged Proverbs 18 on July 26, 2011| 1 Comment »
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. – Proverbs 18:2
“I just want to find myself!”, some people say.
Well, here are some instructions:
- Stretch out both hands
- Draw them toward’s you until you touch something
- There you are!
- Now, turn your attention to finding God. That will be more productive.
When my child was little we went for a walk one day in an unfamiliar place. I asked, “Son, do you know where we are?” “Yep!” he said confidently, “I’m right here and you’re right there!”
Actually, that’s all he really needed to know!
Prayer: Jesus, I know where I am — I’m right here and you’re right there with me. Amen!

Hearing Before Answering

“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” – Proverbs 18:13
There is something perverse about human nature, more often than not we begin with a solution before we really understand the problem.
At work a team forms and decides the best way forward, then hires a consultant.
A ministry team forms and the leader, someone truly gifted in personal one-on-one ministry, does the teaching while the teachers are assigned one-on-one ministry.
A church group decides to build a prayer garden for God, but does not visit prayer gardens or consult those that use them before construction begins.
Wise leadership starts with hearing and understanding BEFORE answering, even when hearing takes longer than desired. God doesn’t need our solutions, he wants our listening.
