First the update. I went to the neurologist yesterday with some symptoms of MS. After the exam he stated he thought I probably have TIA's instead of MS. TIA's are mini silent strokes. They are caused by blood clots that don't stay stuck in the brain, but cause issues while passing through. Tomorrow I have an MRI and then Monday I have an ultrasound on my neck and heart. I see him again in 2 weeks for the results and to find out what we will do from there, assuming nothing urgent shows up on the tests.
Ok now to the devotion for the day.
Pr 29
:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Lord, help me to listen before I speak.
Ps 34
:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.
See that word trusteth? Present tense!

Pr 14, Ps 27, 1 Sam 27
Pr 14
:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
I want to be a wise woman and build up my home. But you know the saying, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak? Well my flesh can usually find something else to do. Don't get me wrong, I do the usual every day things, but somethings just don't get done as often as they should. Today the Lord is speaking to me that for today, for me, this verse means my home needs a little extra attention. I need to do the dreaded DUSTING. Yes, I admit it, I don't like to dust. And I am actually sitting here sneezing just thinking about it lol. But dust I will. So all you dust bunnies, do us both a favor and hop away now while you can.
Ps 27
:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Wait on the Lord. Now that can be easy sometimes, or really hard. Just as when I am waiting at the doctor's office or at a red light. There are times when a long wait seems short, and when a short wait seems to take forever. Depends on my attitude I suppose. So today, I chose to wait patiently on the Lord. Wonder what He has in store for me? I am waiting for xray results from the doctor. Maybe that is what the wait is about today?
1 Sam 27
:1-4 David goes to Gath and Saul seeks him no more.
:5-7 David stayed in the country of the Philistines for 16 months and asked the king for some land.
:8-12 David goes out against the Philistines and destroys everyone in the area he goes to so no one can tell the king what he is doing. When asked by the king he says he went out against Israel.

Pr 13
:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Pr 6, Ps 23, 1 Sam 23
Pr 6
:2 Thou are snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth.
Be careful of your words, you may have to eat them. You WILL have to answer to God for EVERY word out of your mouth. Would you use the same words if Christ were standing next to you? If you have Him as your Savior, He hears them. OUCH.
Ps 23
This was my mom's favorite chapter.
:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
That covers it all doesn't it?
:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
Have you ever spent time in a green pasture? I used to spend time as a child laying in one watching the clouds. It is one of the few good memories I have from my childhood. It was so peaceful there. Even after being stung by a yellow jacket, I still returned every chance I had to that place.
If you have never really read and thought about the verses in this psalm, I encourage you to do so, there is so much love and encouragement in the verses.

Pr 5, Ps 22, 1 Sam 22
You get two posts today. I read and took notes yesterday, but never got around to posting them because of church and Easter.
Pr 5
:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Ps 22
:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art Thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Ever feel as though God is far away? You moved not Him.
:11 Be not far from me: for trouble is near: for there is none to help.
God is always there to help. Why do we usually try to do things on our own and then when that doesn't work out we call for God to fix the mess we have made? Why don't we call for His help first? Then things would go well from the beginning.
1 Sam 22
:1-2 David's family and anyone unhappy with Saul join David.
:3 David asked the king of Moab to keep his parents while he worked things out.
He honored his parents.
:4-8 Saul hears David was found. He is upset that his servants didn't tell him about Jonathan helping David.
:9-13 Doeg tells him about David going to the priests and they helped him.
Saul calls the priests who helped to him.
:14-17 the priest defends David and Saul orders the priest and his family killed. None of his servants will kill them.
:18-20 Doeg kills the priest and family. One escapes and fled to tell David what happened.
:21-23 David takes the responsibility for what happened to the priest and his family. He tells him to stay with him and he will protect him.

:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art Thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Ever feel as though God is far away? You moved not Him.
:11 Be not far from me: for trouble is near: for there is none to help.
God is always there to help. Why do we usually try to do things on our own and then when that doesn't work out we call for God to fix the mess we have made? Why don't we call for His help first? Then things would go well from the beginning.

Pr 2
:2 My son, if thou wilt receive My words, and hide My commandments with thee:
See the little word if? We are given a choice. It would have been so much easier for US if God didn't give us free will. But He wanted us to CHOOSE to follow Him.
:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
