Just some thoughts pondered through the day.....

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5

1 Peter practically says the same thing. We had this as a memory verse at camp, well one of them anyways.

Young men in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you clothe yourselves with humility towards one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers around the world are undergoing the same kinds of sufferings.

Yes, I memorized all that and then some. But that is beside my point.

Both these scriptures encourage people to pray. "Cast all your anxiety on him...", "He who lacks wisdom.. ask God who gives generously..."

Yeah, it also kind of hints at that sore spot that crap doesn't always happen to just one person. Even though it might seem like it does, it doesn't. So many times I have thought, "WHY ME!?" over and over again. And so many times I forgot this verse, until now, and I will probably never forget it.

I also figured out that if something is followed by the word "therefore", the previous thing said is what you're supposed to do.

Anyways. That was my kernal of wisdom for the day. I don't know if i like having epiphanies like this, because I don't really know how to type them out into a blog post. But, there is a first for everything, and this one probably didn't make much sense.

I also don't know if I like having pop-up blocker because I cannot spell check the word "epiphanies." And I would like to, because right now it looks like I have spelled out "elephants" instead.

Maybe I just need to get some sleep.

Ok, I think I'm done now.
