Delema

Proverbs 30:7-9 "Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."

I have been thinking of something the last couple of days, the situation has not been clear. This verse jumped out at me during my reading.

Keep me from self will and the lies it inevitably causes (either to myself or others) give me what I need. This seems to be a clear statement of how our Lord provides.

All the best to all who read this in the New Year, a second decade of this new millennium. js

... a Saviour...

Luke 2:8-11; "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Merry Christmas.  js
