[upbeat music] Hey, Bible readers. I'm Tara-Leigh Cobble, and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. Today we tackle more of Solomon's proverbs, and chapter 19 starts out with a lot of wisdom on relationships, including our relationship with God. I'll open with a confession. Beside 19:2 in my Bible, I've written TLC! in all caps in the margin. Those are my initials and my nickname, so it's just my way of trying to call my attention to the fact that I struggle with this, particularly the second half of the verse. The whole verse says, "Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way." I've told you before that one of my old roommates used to say I do things fast and wrong. So when I read, "Whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way," that's got my name written all over it. This is a reminder to me that I need to seek His guidance on things instead of just forging ahead on my own. And the first half of the verse has a different level of beauty and truth to it. It says, "Desire without knowledge is not good." If you were in a relationship with someone who said they loved you but didn't want to know anything about you, wouldn't that seem really off to you? Wouldn't it make you really skeptical about their so-called love? It breaks my heart to see this kind of thing in the Church, where we have a relationship with God that is driven only by emotion and that has no actual knowledge of who God is.
