Today during my daily ritual of T.A.G. time (or as some would pronounce it T.A.W.G. time) I had a vision birthed from a wandering mind. As some of my reader's may know, I have been following a "read the Bible in a year" program. Which my pastor purchased for me following an inspiring presentation conveyed by Wayne Cordero. Generally speaking I'm enthused to jump into a pool of history; lately though my efforts towards curiosity have been far less then hoped. The culprit for this heinously low level of interest is none other then Moses.
Now don't get me wrong I love the guy, but he just had to record every last detail of every last detail. Reading some parts of the Torah to me, is just outright painful. It's like walking uphill pulling a "ball and chain" with no shoes on. I believe that I have a high tolerance for patients when it come to learning and growing; however the latter three books of the Torah just bring me to my knees.
That being said you can probably guess why my mind was wandering in all sorts of directions while reading the Bible. This time my mind wasn't skimming through my day or my to do list. This time I had a vision that shames my previous naive like personality and previewed me to a proverb of wisdom through experience.
This vision was of a man walking down the street wearing a green shirt with a collar. He was well groomed and stood up straight (the type of man a girl could take home to dad without fear). Yet almost instantly after this man appeared to me in said vision, the vision shifted to another scene of that same man yelling in a family setting. This man was screaming at the top of his lungs at kids and his wife over heaven knows what.
This mind made proverb is a testament to my old ways of trusting people before I get to know them. I use to have trouble with "innocent until proven guilty", instead of "guilty until proven innocent". Now obviously there is a medium but the latter is the way for me to go now. I don't know why I had that vision, but what I do know is that I asked God for wisdom while reading his word. He definitely gave it to me just not the way I expected. Most people think that if they pray to receive wisdom while reading God's word, they will read something that will speak to them greatly. Sometimes that is the case; however this time God spoke to me through a vision while reading his word.
Gos works in mysterious way, the smallest whisper could be left ignored. Always listen, always search and always find; even when it's not what you were looking for.
