Reading through Proverbs as part of my daily Bible reading and was impressed this morning with the emphasis in both Proverbs 2 and 3 on the significance of "Treasuring and Obeying" God's Word. Solomon declares that a focus on receiving and walking in the commands of the Lord is a key to wisdom and God's blessings. A challenge for us all to ask ourselves, " Do I truly enjoy/treasure the commands of the Lord?" Do I not only want the Lord, but walk in obedience to it. Most of us struggle to maintain consistent reading of the Word, let alone "treasuring it." Then what will it mean for us to move from reading to treasuring and from treasuring to truly obeying? I like Proverbs 2 and the emphasis in the early verses is upon longing for wisdom, desiring, crying out for it, seeking if as for treasure. I'm asking myself what it means for me to truly pursue wisdom so that I can "discern the fear of the Lord" (Proverbs 2:5).
Enjoyed a long walk around the grounds here in the heat and then cooling off in the swimming in the pool.
Relaxing this afternoon.
We have a day excursion planned for tomorrow.
