Sorry, that i haven´t written in the last months.

My "bible-reading-situation" is that I am reading proverbs. So, my idea is to write something about the first and second chapter:


The verses which impressed me the most are vers 3 - 5 in chapter 2.
When I read these verses, I remembered books, called "Abby Lynn", written by Rainer M. Schröder. Altogether, there are 4 books. The book explains the very beginning of Australia: At the end of the 17th, the English Crown used Australia`s East coasts for convicts, who had to work all the day. The leading character is a young girl Abby, who was exiled to this country. During this time, a lot of "free" persons tried to get land in the coastal area. Over a period of time, Abby met a free man and got married. She could escape from the prison and have to flee with her husband. They went with an oxcart to the West, in hope to find fertile land, where they can live at rest. After 3 weeks, they have still been in the veld, where is only a little bit of water, very hot, no shadows. At the end they have to pass a very big river, while a friend of Abby died, and a mountain.
But they didn´t give up their hope and the believing that they can reach their aim.
Shortly after the adventure to pass the barriers, they only saw green grassland, a lot of plants, like the Lily in the Valley.

Imagine that you arrive the vally in the night. There are only darkness, maybe a lot of wildlife and poisonous animals. But during the sunrise, the sun gives the valley its harmony, warmness and happines back.

You can compare it with your faith:
Maybe, you have some situations where you can´t see a solution or the right way, but God is there, he will lead us to the right direction, into the light-flooded valley. We only have to fight very hard and to believe. If God see that you really want the promise, he is going to give it to you.

Like the verses, I chose:

"wenn du sie suchst wie Silber und nach ihr forschest, wie nach Schätzen:
dann wirst du die Furcht des HERRN verstehen und die Erkenntnis Gottes finden."


Think about what you want and struggle for it!
