Seriously, a part of me really believed that reading the book of Proverbs, and having to preach on it would make me feel 'more wise'. Really has not come through in the way I expected. All of this stuff has come up, blah. Often I feel I am at square one, things that are supposed to make sense don't. People I look up to and respect act like fools, and those who drive me crazy constantly present me with the face of God. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Trust me I want to roar, let people know I mean business, yet a part of me knows all that will do is expose my foolishness. Prayer, fear God, search Him in his great mystery. May God use this often naive, little experienced pastor to help other engage the grace of God in ways that they never imagined.
