Deuteronomy 6:4-5

So I am reading in Deuteronomy now and I just read one of my favorite passages… although it seems as if I am doing that all of the time. The passage is Deuteronomy 6:4-5 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

This made me think of when Jesus quoted this passage. He was asked what the greatest commandment was and this passage was His reply. I really like how He quotes verse 4 first. I never heard it as much growing up… but there is just something wonderful there.

So I guess I am writing again cause I just got back from another short trip and since I just said that I think alot about life when I go on trips I thought I should say something… to myself.¬†

I went to Chicago for the Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. I think that is rather incredible… especially in today’s culture… it is unheard of. So I thought about it and I thought… that is what I want by God’s grace. That’s it on that.

We also hung out with some of the coolest people ever… Devin, Andrea, and Nadia. Go check Devin’s music:¬†www.myspace.com/asherlevmusic. It rules… especially “Motor City Mud” and “The Great Revival”. We went to church with them, ate chicago deep dish pizza, went and got gelato (of course), talked about pineapple, custard, and glazed vietnamese food?… and then we squozed each other goodbye and headed home.

The message at church was awesome and just what I needed to hear… especially when moving: God’s timing is everything. The passage spoken on was Psalm 37:1-7 and the verse that I liked the best was “Rest In the LORD, and wait patiently for Him…” It is so good to rest in Him… but it is certainly not easy. I do not believe in luck at all, only divine appointment. I absolutely love Proverbs 16:33 “The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.”

Do you believe in luck?
