Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with All Your Heart
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Job 9:4-11
God's Wisdom
4 His wisdom is profound, his power is vast.
Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?
5 He moves mountains without their knowing it
and overturns them in his anger.
6 He shakes the earth from its place
and makes its pillars tremble.
7 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;
he seals off the light of the stars.
8 He alone stretches out the heavens
and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
What leads one to their faith?...Is it our parents or those who raise us, is it our friends who talk about the mysteries of life, is it others we do not know -but believe, is it going to church...Is it reading the Bible?...Is it Mother Nature?...Could it be the Holy Spirit?...Could it be the cross and what the cross means to each believer, which includes suffering and struggles...Could it be life's suffering and life's struggles?...Could it mean the teachings of Jesus?...Is it the LOVE of God and His Son?...
God is always looking for the lost and those without faith...I think God has made His grace available through all these things, and more...The wisdom of God is all knowing...He has made wonders and nature that cannot be fathomed...Grace and mercy come from a mysterious, all knowing and completely understanding LOVING God...
