sooo, i wanted to follow up a little bit on the whole letting go thing…i started studying through proverbs this week…not for the first time, but for a needed refresher…and as i got to chapter 4 there were four verses that stuck out to me and i have been really chewing on them for a couple days now…
10 My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life.
11 I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths.
12 When you walk, you won’t be held back;
when you run, you won’t stumble.
13 Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.
Guard them, for they are the key to life.
what hit me is that we are still going to be taking hold of something…just like molly takes hold of things when she walks…but we take hold of God’s instructions…we do what He has told us to do…we don’t hold on to our opinion…our desires…our comfort…
and when we do this…we won’t be held back…we won’t stumble…
i stumble!!! way too often!!! and when i stumble it’s because i’m holding on to the wrong things…and just like molly, i’m holding on with both hands…so if i’m holding on to the wrong thing with both hands…i can’t hold on to God’s instructions…
what do you think??? what sticks out to you in those four verses???
when you walk…
