Hopping Back on the Blog Bandwagon

It has been over 9 months since I last blogged. I miss blogging, and though I’ve desired to return to it, I can never seem to construe my thoughts into what I would like to be a blog post. Well, let’s give it another go, then… this time, with a new theme!

I start with the first thing that enters my head (that being, of course, the answer Westminster Catechism question number 1):

Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever.

This is my aim in life and in this blog. I hope and pray that somehow, by reading my ramblings, you will be encouraged to live a life that does the same. I plan to blog regularly, recognizing it is not a duty, but rather, a delight (I really like doing it). I make this plan, knowing that the Lord has given me the means to do it:

The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
-Proverbs 16:9

I realize that I have a responsibility to plan, and without a plan of action, I will fail and probably never blog. Even if it is a short post, my intention is that I will post at least once a week…

That’s all for now,
Tom Fogarty

Watch your step

Walk sign

A man’s steps are from the LORD;
how then can man understand his way?
Proverbs 20:24 (ESV)

God knows where we’re going, and He’s got it under control. Sure, we can make plans, and God encourages us to do so; but the Word tells us to do so diligently, not hastily (Prov 21:5). Considering He made this path for us, we should go to Him when we need guidance. In the end, God’s purpose will always work out… but do you really want to miss God?

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21 (ESV)
