Wisdom Versus Foolishness
Wisdom has prepared herself and has something to offer to others. Foolishness appeals to the five carnal senses until you find out that you are in the company of the dead in hell.
What You Hear
Jesus tells us in John 10:9 that we can go into HIs kingdom and go out to find pasture! How? Simply take heed to what you hear!
Proverbs
We learn in Hosea 4:6 that we perish because we lack knowledge. Proverbs 1:2-6 explain that we can be intentional about studying Proverbs for this knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Void of Understanding
Proverbs 7 is a continuation of “The Instruction of a Father,” in Proverbs 4, 5, and 6. They all begin with, “My son.” We, the church, are not only Christ’s bride, but we are also the sons of God (Revelation 21:9, Philippians 2:15). It is our choice to listen to our Father so that we are not “void of understanding” as the young man described in Proverbs 7:7. My Son Notice that the Proverbs are not written to fools or…
The Instruction of a Father
Let’s look at and meditate on Proverbs 4 today. We are God’s children. And He is asking us to “hear the instruction of a father.” We also can read in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that God instructs us with His words. Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. – Pro 4:1 KJVFor I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. – Pro 4:2 KJV Instruction is Good When I was still being deceived…
Girls, Cover Your Head
The entire Bible can be read and understood from a place of humility or used to dominate and manipulate from pride. “Girls, Cover Your Head” explains that Christians should never use God’s gifts and strengths to attempt to manipulate or control another human being! Dominance over other people in any form is sin that leads to death.
Know Who Takes Away
God never takes anything good away from us! The thief is who Jesus says comes to steal, kill, and destroy! Let’s believe Jesus and know who takes away!
Hard Times
Are you ever tempted when you are going through hard times to think that you are being punished? Well, you probably are! But not by God. The whole human race has an enemy that the Bible calls the god of this world. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. – 2Co 4:4…
Abide Among the Wise
We can learn to abide among the wise and abhor evil by reading and meditating on the Proverbs daily. Isn’t it convenient that there is a chapter for every day of the month! Being a wife and mother, I read the second part of Proverbs 31 pretty often. See, God gives us the desires of our hearts. That is why we all really deep down desire to be the best! When we delight ourselves in Him, He brings those desires…
Rags or Riches?
Reading Numbers 10, revealed to me that the Israelites were not a bunch of half-starved complainers running around in rags. They were a splendid sight of order and unity enjoying the true riches of God. Let’s walk through this chapter to see if your perception of God’s people changes from rags to riches too. Numbers 10 begins with the Lord speaking to His children through Moses. A description of the various sounds and uses of trumpets is explained beginning in…
