Ps
119:105-112
|
Psalm 119:110 (ESV) — The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not
stray from your precepts.
|
The wicked, enemies
of God, and especially Satan's workers, are laying juicy traps for me all the
time. Not every instant, but are strategically looking for those
opportunities to capture me. An snare or traps always have juicy bait,
otherwise they would not work.
|
People,
even my non-Christian friends want to see me fail. Not that they are trying
to be an enemy, but that want reasons to not believe. Of course, I will fail,
but there are different types of failures. We understand that we will all
fail in some degree, but it is the big stuff that really interests them, like
my relationship with my wife, and how I handle frustration at work.
|
Father,
help me to live in your power and grace. Help to live as a good example to
those around me. Protect me from the evil one's snares. May people see Jesus
Christ in my life and reshaping my life.

These are just some random entries from my quiet times. Not all are included, as some are private or not very interesting.
Notice on a slight format change:
Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.
July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).
