Proverbs 31 Wannabe

🐑 “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭25‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Today during our Lent Bible study, my son and I had an amazing opportunity to reflect on the first five verses of psalm 25. Part of the instructions was to look at versus four and five specifically and insert your name into the verses as a way of praying to God. My son and I had this opportunity to talk about what it means to fully trust God, even when things don’t always make sense in the world. We are at a point in our family, where we will be experiencing the loss of my grandfather soon and although it is hard, these versus are a tremendous gift from God because it’s been a reminder to me that no matter what happens in this world, I can lift my soul up to the Lord and he will lead me if I allow Him to.

Lent day 9

🌈 “When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.””
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

My son and I continued reflecting on the covenant that God made with Noah this morning during our Lent Bible study time. One thing that really stood out as we were reflecting on this passage of scripture is that the bow in the sky is not only a reminder for us about the covenant but it is also a reminder for God. I found that word. It’s very interesting because God is all knowing and the creator of literally everything. This really demonstrates to us how Our God is a faithful and trusting and loving God, who always keeps His promise.

Our Lord also has given us another sign for us to remember his covenantal love with us, and that is the cross. It is through the cross that we can remember the sacrifice that Jesus gave so that we can be truly and fully redeemed.

Lent Day 8

““Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you,”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Today during our lent Bible study, I had the opportunity to talk to my son about how God always keeps his promises. We read through Genesis 9 where God is speaking to Noah after the flood, and is cutting a covenant with him. It is a beautiful reminder to all of humanity that our God is a patient, merciful, and awesome God who loves his creation.

Lent Day 7

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬
