Psalms, Proverbs, Eccliastes, Song of Solomon
Okay so I did it again. Proverbs 22 is a conglomeration of much advice. No wonder Scofield entitles it (Warnings and instructions, continued.) It’s all great stuff. But I can’t cover it all. So I grouped them together into categories that made sense to me. And then I look it [More…]
(Proverbs 21:14) A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. So once again we have an entire Proverb chapter that has no theme that I can see running through it. I did however divide the verses up and reorganized them under similar subjects. And [More…]
(Proverbs 20:20) Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. (Proverbs 20:27) The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. This is one packed proverb. There’s thirty verses – a verse for [More…]
(Proverbs 19:10) Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. There are some things that just don’t go together. They just don’t match. They don’t travel together. Delight is just not something a fool will experience. This word תַּעֲנוּג translated to [More…]
(Proverbs 18:22) Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. A married man who counts his blessings begins with his wife. No matter how difficult the marriage, financially, emotionally, or whatever, Proverbs 18:22 never goes away. There may be many things that we desire, but [More…]
Proverbs 17:3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. There’s a lot of good advice in Proverbs 17, and I wish I can take time in all of them, but I can’t. I must move on to something. This verse [More…]
Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. This reminds of a verse: (Ezra 7:10) For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it… Preparations are plans. It’s what the heart is [More…]
(Proverbs 15:3) The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Seven times, Jesus says to the churches in Revelation, I know thy works. I know thy works. I know thy works. I know thy works. I know thy works. I know thy works. I know thy works. (Galatians 6:7) Be not [More…]
(Proverbs 14:4) Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. When the kids were babies and my wife would complain about all the mess, I used to quote this verse to her while flexing my muscles. That was until I [More…]
(Proverbs 13:1) A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. (Proverbs 13:24) He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. So these two verse stand out to me this morning. How important and necessary the Father’s instructions; [More…]
