where the heart at.

its so easy to be misguided and naive to the things of the world, causing us to wander from the place we were told to stay and enjoy. kind of like how a toddler is placed in a playpen to revel in the company of other children, but it's not good enough. she wants to explore, and her curiosity, along with the enticing attractive objects and people and events all around, gets a hold of her. she doesn't know how big the world really is, how dangerous it can be, and how vulnerable her heart is.

daddy speaks.


1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

-David, Psalm 37



trust, delight, commit, be still, wait patiently.

... like a cool person said. patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit for a reason.

...& i think verse 3 is especially cool.

'trust... dwell in the land, and enjoy SAFE pasture.' Kinda cute.. G's playpen for.. us? til we're mature enough to know better? until we're ready to be guided and led by Him into thenext adventure? (:
