Visiting Proverbs 24 (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

You know I always try to give room to fellow Christian bloggers, and here’s one I found today–Heartshare. And the post is, “Let’s Look at Proverbs 24 Today in a Month of Wisdom.”

Let’s Look At Proverbs 24 Today In A Month Of Wisdom

The book of Proverbs is wisdom compressed by King Solomon and the Holy Spirit into bite-sized pieces. I find Proverbs grows on you. You really and truly would be wise if you followed all this advice! And here and there, a sobering note: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (14:12).

Thank you, Heartshare, for these brief excursions into Proverbs.

Note: If you’re a Christian blogger who’d like me to display your posts now and then, please just let me know. I’ll be glad to do it.

‘What We Wouldn’t’ve Thought Of, But God Did’ (2015)

One of my pleasures in the summer is to sit outside with a pipe, in the evening, and watch the lightning bugs. That’s something to be added to the listen of things that God thought of when He was creating the world, but which we never would have thought of, had we been creating it.

Do you even want to imagine a world created by anyone but God?

It gives me the shudders.

Bonus Video: Proverbs 8

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

Proverbs 8 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible (others are 1 Corinthians 1, 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 6, Hebrews 11, Romans 7) and I felt a need for it this morning. Maybe you do, too. This chapter is the personification of God’s wisdom, speaking to us directly. Listen.

One of My Best-Loved Chapters in the Bible: Proverbs 8

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

So begins the book of Proverbs, Chapter 8, one of the most poetic books in all the Bible. It conveys wisdom that would be hard to frame in simple prose: and more than wisdom, God’s love.

If you’ve never read it before, here’s a video that may help you to see what I mean. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=proverbs+8+video&FORM=VIRE5#view=detail&mid=B50AD60E93C7C12C095DB50AD60E93C7C12C095D

And if, as I do, you prefer the unmodernized King James Version, here’s a recitation.http://www.biblestudytools.com/audio-bible/kjv/proverbs/8.html

The spirit of this benighted age might well proclaim, Doth not folly cry? and idiocy put forth her voice? Maybe that’s why sometimes Proverbs 8 can move me to tears: I live in an era that personifies the exact opposite of every good thing named in this chapter of the Bible.

Never mind. Take a few minutes to be attentive to the voice of God’s wisdom, words spoken for our good: truth, and not lies. Amen.
