            He loves your prayers The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.  Proverbs 15:8 Did you know that it brings joy to God when you pray?  Today’s scripture says that your prayer is His delight.  It actually gives the impression that HeContinue reading “May 15, 2020”

Build your house The wise woman builds (up) her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands.  Proverbs 14:1 This seems like a random statement at the beginning of this chapter.  It doesn’t look like the wise woman is mentioned again throughout the entire chapter. However, it leaves me with questions.  How doesContinue reading “May 14, 2020”

Walk with wise people He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.  Proverbs 13:20 Wow!  This is good news!  I can walk with wise people and be wise.  I need that, but how do I “walk” with wise people?  What if I don’t know any wiseContinue reading “May 13, 2020”

Right in their own eyes The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.        Proverbs 12:15 This verse reminds me of those who say they have their own reality.  That there is no absolute truth.  Those who would argue that truth is always dependent onContinue reading “May 12, 2020”

What is your reward?                                              If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner?  Proverbs 11:31 This verse pretty much sums up chapter 11 of Proverbs.  It is all about the rewards of living according to God’s ways or the results of an ungodly life.  It starts out talkingContinue reading “May 11, 2020”

  Happy Mother’s Day! A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish child brings grief to their mother. Proverbs 10:1 Happy Mother’s Day!  Since its Mother’s Day, I thought it was fitting that the first verse in Proverbs 10 speaks about how children effect their mother and father.  Wise children make them gladContinue reading “May 10, 2020”

The beginning of wisdom “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.  For by Me (wisdom) your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.

Wisdom has a voice Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice?  She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet.  She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors: Wow!  I read thisContinue reading “May 8, 2020”

Flirting with the world Keep My commands and live, and My law as the apple of your eye.  Proverbs 7:2 I look at this verse as God speaking to me.  He says if I keep His commands I will live. Then He wants me to keep His ways as the apple of my eye orContinue reading “May 7, 2020”

True contentment These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him Proverbs 6:16 As I went through the list of things that God hates, it was easy to look at them at face value and say.  “well, I don’t do those things. I’m doing pretty good.”  However, I believe the point of this scripture is not soContinue reading “May 6, 2020”
