Proverbs what a Godly way to start each day, co inky dink a book of 31, is that one each day of the month! Each proverb packs a powerful truth about life into a simple, memorable statement; right in your face simplicity, I might add.
December 7th... Lets take a look, Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Commands, meaning commandment? Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eyes. Living is good, apple of my eyes, that`s a desirable image. Proverbs 7:3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Commandments wrapped in my hand, etched in my heart, I like this!
Proverbs 7:4 Say to wisdom, "you are my sister," and call understanding your kinsman;.... Godly wisdom and understanding are my family, this is easy to remember! Proverbs 7:5 they will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words. Wisdom, will keep me from impurity, closing the door on the undesirable elements of the world! This is good stuff!
The Ten Commandments.......I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God. Remember the sabbath and keep it holy. Honor your father and mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor`s house.....
I pray this is inviting, the simplicity encouraging. Amen!
