was thinking again yesterday on the matter of how much to trust god

had this life example in front of me, where one chose to put god first, even in terms of relationship and when or what not to go after a person.

the other, chose to take things into his own hands, and went after the person. but am now facing a lot more other complications and troubles. struggling between drawing the line and yet being distracted by other people coming into the picture

both have waited for years. and after years of waiting, they each chose their own ways to go about.

this illustration added on to what i have been thinking, on how christ like should we be? on one hand, there is the times when people will take things into their own hands and say, god lead me. and on the other hand, there are people who totally rely 100 % on god.

today's devo spoke to me.

Haggai 1:2-7 (New International Version)

2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "These people say, 'The time has not yet come for the LORD's house to be built.' "

3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai: 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?"

5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."

7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.

In behalf of a loving God, Haggai urged his neighbors to give careful attention to what had happened. He noted the priority they were giving to their own comforts and wanted them to observe how dissatisfied and empty they still were.

it gave the assurance of which path i am to take. =)
