Proverbs 16:9

I've been re-reading "Her Perfect Man" by Jillian Hart. Yes I re-read books I own, pretty frequently actually. And a few things stuck out to me.

At one point, the main male character says "I don't believe in luck. I believe in God." I think this is a great concept and something that I'm going to try to incorporate into my life.

And to go with yesterday's verse: Proverbs 16:9

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

More about trusting in God and his plans. Maybe God's trying to tell me something?

Proverbs 31:30

This verse spoke to me so much that I had the book, chapter and verse inscribed via a tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. It was done in flesh colored ink, so its barely visible, even when I point it out to people. But I know its there. And since I had it done for no one but myself, that's all that matters. And all I have to do is look down to be reminded of what's important in life.

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."

Why this verse speaks to me -- it tells me that charm and beauty aren't important. Loving God is. I think this is a truth that all women need to hold close to their hearts. While I do like to dress up and look pretty, I know its all surface gloss. What really matters is on the inside. What really matters is my love and fear of the Lord.
