“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith… the house of the righteous shall stand.”

Hebrews 10:22, Proverbs 12:7b

The thing I get most out of reading a Proverb a day (the chapter in the book of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month) is the way the Lord often puts it together with my regular Bible reading to challenge, encourage and warn me!  I love it!

The above two verses, and a few minutes of thinking about them, are a result of one of those readings.

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…

the house of the righteous shall stand.”

The first part is from Hebrews 10, and then my reading in Proverbs…

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith… the house of the righteous shall stand.”

I learn, that I want to draw very close to God with a good attitude, trusting Him with everything that I’ve got in me… and that will be good for me, my family, and for everyone around me!

So… let’s read our Bibles.  Let’s stop swiping our smart phones so much, let’s stop listening to so much news… because they can not promise to help our families!  God can!  And His Word says it!  So, let’s “draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…” so that our homes will “stand”!
