I wonder if the world has ever been any different?...but!Proverbs 17:
This is a most profound and timely verse. Our world, especially our country, is chock full of this. It's profoundly discouraging.
God help us.
I wonder if the world has ever been any different?...but!
take heart, we live in the world, but are not part of it.
this is so lovely from John 17
14 I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do.
17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.
19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

Oops...I just realized this thread is "A chapter a day" for Proverbs. Today being the 19th...
Proverbs 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
It is all about perception...The Woman at the tree perceived she lacked and desired more while God saw all that He had made and declared it very good. She reasoned with a serpent, while scripture tells us no one can reason with God without becoming clean. The Spirit dwells within us, though at first we do not perceive it to be so, seeing it as something outside of/separate from our being...
It was the woman (who came out of Adam's side) that prepared the feast and gave it to him...
yes, that is so true...Proverbs 17:
Returning evil for good.
Attacking those who speak the truth, such as attacking those who speak up for the helpless who cannot speak up for or defend themselves, is an abomination to God.
It is akin to defending evil.
And blatantly so.
God help us.
