5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Proverbs 3

Taking Samson to the groomer this morning has turned into quite the adventure. When he gets into the car he surmises quickly the difference between a ride and an appointment. 

You would think that either the clicking of his nails on the tile floor and the inability to walk without slipping, or his own smell would make him drag me to the car and not the other way around. 

But either way Samson doesn’t see the necessity of grooming. Though the Covid delayed grooming would alleviate many ailments of a dog long overdue for it, he fights me the whole time. 

The ride over is filled with pleading. Him pleading not to go and my pleading for him to hush😂. Dog breath👀. 

I believe even after all these years there is a trust issue here. As he walks up the ramp he knows then exactly where he is and began to shake, then he looks at me and my demeanor encourages him and he slowly walk with me. 

With a steely jaw 😂and face set like flint I trudge on confidently up the ramp. As I thought of the mistrust issue I recalled the scripture above. 

We are often like Samson fearing what we can’t control and literally paralyzed by the unknown. 

Besides not being a receptor of fear, we must sometimes go when we are not certain of what our certain God is doing. 

As humans no matter how intelligent and saved we may be, our understanding is flawed.  Paul expressed in in 1Corinthians 13 as “knowing in part”. 

Partially knowing impacts our understanding, and until we are in the Lord’s presence we will always lack full understanding. 

The solution to what comes from lacking understanding is simply trusting the Lord. Even though we don’t understand how technology work, we trust it...TRUST HIM.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
