In reading Proverbs 22, this verse stood out for me:

Proverbs 22:

This verse stood out for me:

Soooo true.

Amen.

Reminds me of this quote:

"When you see crazy coming, cross the street." ~Iyanla Vanzant

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Such a useful chapter,

 

[quietbloke]

Let us live in 'humility' today in the 'fear of the LORD'

 

[musicalpilgrim]

...this is so true...and the picture is good too don't you think?

 

[quietbloke]

Help us to make friends of God's people!

 

[W2L]

3
The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
4
Humility is the fear of the Lord;
its wages are riches and honor and life.
5
In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,
but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
11
One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace
will have the king for a friend.
12
The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

Verse 12 reminds me of 1 Corinthians 1

 

[brinny]

It does! What a blessing of a connection.

The Word of God is almost like a gloriously vibrant tapestry, from cover to cover, with the verses linking gloriously from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Thank you for sharing that. i had ever noticed the connection before you mentioned it.

speaking of tapestries and weaving:

Proverbs 22:

"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished." ~Proverbs 22:3

 

[W2L]

Guard your soul.

3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are punished.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.

11 He who loves purity of heart
And has grace on his lips,
The king will be his friend.

 

[brinny]

Proverbs 22:

Kindness and Compassion.

"A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor." ~Proverbs 22:9

This verse also comes to mind:

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." ~Hebrews 13:2

 

[W2L]

17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
Let them all be fixed upon your lips

Yes!!! As i was reading what you posted, it hit me...

THERE it is.

The VERY definition of the "fear of the Lord"

It's "humility".

Right there in verse 4:

4 Humility is the fear of the Lord;

It ties right into "wisdom" and this pivotal verse:

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." ~Proverbs 9:10

There it is, a Jeremiah 33:3 moment!!!!!

Praise God!!!!

Weeeeee haaaaaaa!!!!!
