so, just as with last thursday, ive been feeling down, and just like last thursday, my bible was sitting open waiting for me to read the next chapter. Micah 3:1-2. while not a comforting chapter, it did strike home with me and put me into a mode of reflection to look at who i am, what i profess to want, and then look at my actions and see that they arent the same. that i say one thing, and do another. but even in failure, God is standing there with a lesson for me. to show me that even when i mess up, He can (and will) use it to get my attention and put me back on track. micah led to me remembering about a chapter on fleeing from temptation in "in the meantime" by rob brendle, but i couldnt remember what verse he used. so i got on the internet (ever so handy) and found the verse in 2 Timothy 22, then i decided to read the entire chapter and immediately came upon verses 1-2 and felt like God was giving me hope. micah 3 was showing me what i was doing, 2 timothy 22 was showing me what to do, and 2 timothy 2:1-2 was saying i shouldnt let my feelings of failure win, that i am forgiven and that God can still use me. for He is greater than my failures.
