Hobart Herd Devotional Proverbs 30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 30, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  This is the day that the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it!  Sometimes I need to be reminded of Who is\nreally in charge of everything that goes on in this world.  Proverbs 30:4-6:  Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who\nhas gathered the wind in His fists?  Who\nhas wrapped up the waters in a garment? \nWho has established all the ends of the earth?  What is His name, and what is His Son\u2019s\nname?  Surely you know!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   This chapter starts out with statements of\nbeing ignorant and stupid, unwise as a man. \nThese words are simply an attitude of humility and a cry for\nwisdom.  With these thoughts and\nattitudes Agur then asks 5 questions in verse 4.  These questions asked in Job 38:4-11, and all\nof us, are rhetorical questions that we can answer.  The answer is God and His Son, the Lord Jesus\nChrist.  Even those who claim ignorance\nof Who God is can answer these questions. \nSo why did Agur ask these questions? \nIt was to set us up!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   You see, if you know that there is a God,\nCreator and Controller of all, and His Son, Jesus Christ that gives us the very\nair that we breath, then why don\u2019t we trust Him in every difficult situation?  In verse 5, we are reminded that every Word\nand Promise that God has given us is faithful, true, and trustworthy.  We can take refuge in Him!  Verse 6 then reminds us not to add to His Words\nor we will be rebuked as a liar.  All of\nthis tells me that God has given me His Words and Promises so that I can take\nrefuge in Him.  If I don\u2019t take refuge in\nHim it is because I have added, subtracted, ignored, changed, and not put my\ntrust in Him.  When I do this, I reject\nHis truth and become a liar.  1 John\n1:7-10 reminds me that I am to walk in the light of God\u2019s word, recognizing my\nsin, confessing and repenting of it and receiving His forgiveness for all my\nsin.  If I do this, I can then take\nrefuge in my Faithful God and His Word revealed to me by His Son, Jesus Christ!  May I never doubt, add or change His Word and\nPromises given to provide strength and refuge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Father, I acknowledge Who You are and What\nyou have done for me in Your Son, Jesus Christ. \nThank you for Your Word that I can take trust and take refuge in\nYou.  Forgive me of my doubt, adding or\nchanging the truth of Your promises.  I\nlay my life in Your hands today, trusting that You are with me and in\neverything I face, You will make a way. \nI take refuge in You and Your Word! \nAmen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
