Thoughts on Bible Reading: Prov5 & Gal4 [shared by Andrew]


Blessed Friday all.  Look forward to seeing some of you this evening.

In Gal 4, Paul reminds that we are no longer slaves but sons of the great God - that we are now privileged to call with the tender term of "Abba" father.

What struck me was also v13 where Paul alludes to an illness that ended up allowing the sharing of the good news with the Galatians.  
- even in something 'bad', God worked it for good. 

Reminds me of the unique confidence we now have as God's children that "all's well that ends well.  And If things seem not well, remember it's not yet the end."

Proverbs 5 warns of the danger, (esp for guys?) of staying away from temptation and the value of staying faithful. 

There is also the assurance from Proverbs 5:21 that God watches and knows our paths.
