Day 17, Proverbs Chapter17

[musicalpilgrim]

This means so much these days,

1. Better a dry crust eaten in peace
than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.

17 A friend is always loyal,
and a brother is born to help in time of need.

i sooooooooo agree.

Amen.

 

[W2L]

9 He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

6 Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children.

This is true, and it is something that God is granting me grace in, and a sensitivity and discernment in this issue....i think it goes hand in hand with God, planting in our hearts a realization that someone stumbling, in essence, is "us", because we stumble too, and "grace" and "discretion" that only He can give, is a "gift", since it can only be possible through His grace, poured out on us. He is a GOOD God, and He can shut our mouths when necessary, and we find out later that we have MUCH to thank Him for when He does.

We are members of one body, if the foot slips so does the whole body.

That right there, is so pivotal, and i'm thankful that God is enabling me to see the crucial-ness of this more and more.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

We are members of one body, if the foot slips so does the whole body.

Hahaaaaa yes, that image with the loose lips reminds me of me and my big mouth at times

Amen about the support.

we are all in the same boat

 

[brinny]

we are all in the same boat

Yes, that's a good way to look at it.

 

[W2L]

Yes, that's a good way to look at it.

Thank the Lord He is with us.

 

[brinny]

Thank the Lord He is with us.

Amen!!!! i'm learning to draw closer to Him when things get crazy.....i used to run from Him n' ev'ry thing else....

 

[W2L]

Amen!!!! i'm learning to draw closer to Him when things get crazy.....i used to run from Him n' ev'ry thing else....

Me too. I have a battle raging inside, i leaned on the lord even though it was tough to get through.

THAT is His pure grace. He is sooooo GOOD. It took a long time for me to be willing to not run, and to just instead, lean in closer to Him when things got crazy. I was like a spooked horse.

Yes, God is good, amen.

This is encouraging to me. It encourages me to lean in on the Lord during those confusing and stormy times, and when the enemy is using many to join in and malign His name and WHO HE is, or to just "stand by" as it is occurring as if nothing is amiss. Sometimes it seems all around is a "mine" field, with nothing of fer-real regard for the living God.

And nobody cares.

Proverbs 17:

This is timely.

Amen.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

This is timely.

Amen.

It is timely in the UK as well, it feels as if the establishment is going crazy...that includes the Church of England...
