Direction

It's not always easy to know how God is leading. When you don't know which way to go it may be as simple as just going the only way that is available right now. God will not let you get lost.

Pro 3:5 Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Pro 3:6 Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.

That's the road I FEEL like I'm traveling sometimes! Where do you get these pics?!

That roundabout looks a little too familiar (Camus?)...

What is 'finishing well?' Seems like it takes a good 50 years just to get started--if wisdom is what you seek.

Thanks for the mountain conversations this summer. Pascal is a cool (anomalous) early modern dude -- Gospel seems to me like a tenacious and transcendent gravity ...only simpler, yet much less comprehensible than something like Einstein's physics (as if I even understood that, really).

I'd like to talk about Joshua, chapter 11 sometime soon.

I hope you are feeling well, surviving the summer Texas.

Wow Mike! Every time I take a trip to your blog, you seem to say exactly what I need to hear! :) Thanks :)

That roundabout represents what I SEE, but not what I KNOW in my spirit ;)

Hope u don't mind I added your link to my blog. Your thoughts are awesome and "easy to bite" :)

To Loy's Son-In-Law,
Romans 9:11-22. With Special emphasis placed in -
Joshua 11:20 for the Lord determined to make them obstinate so they would attack Israel. He wanted Israel to annihilate them without mercy, as he had instructed Moses.
These are hard passages for many.
I personally think that this was done because the Jews at the time were easily influenced. They were shown the presence of GOD thru Joshua's leadership and GOD's overall plan for Israel. The land was farmed and cities placed before them.
Joshua 11:23 -Then the land was free of war.
For the Glory of GOD.
