Day 9, Proverbs Chapter 9

[musicalpilgrim]

9 is a wonderful chapter, and verse 10 is so special to me also,

For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all Wisdom.
Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding.
Life Application Bible

The difference between True Wisdom and a Fool.
For the most part the Bible talks about one who is neat and tidy - and also ready.
Whereas the Fool looks like these things, but if you listen or look closely - she is none of those things at all. Proverbs 9:13-18

In reading Proverbs 9, this verse stood out for me:

11 “For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.”

This is a promise that one who desires wisdom and seeks it like treasure, will be granted it, and along with wisdom, they will be blessed with a long and blessed life.

Awesome!

Still the same verse for me...

Still the same verse for me...

me too!

This verse is soooooo profound...it encapsulates what God finds righteous. It is repeated through God's Word, for emphasis, for instance in the book of Job, and throughout Proverbs, etc.

God DELIGHTS in those who "fear" Him (have a reverential trust in Him and a love for Him). It is written that a Godly "fear" of the Lord is akin to "armor" against sin, so to speak.

It's a precious verse.

Hi,

Proverbs 9:6, at this moment, with the definition of life, as used there, to me being, with God, rather than not with God, after our earthly life is over.

Sorry. That is the way I also translate, the word life, in some passages of The Bible.

Death to me in some Biblical passages, is being alive still after this earthly life, but not being with God.

LOVE,

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through wisdom your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

Makes you wonder how many today really fear the LORD?

Do we think too highly of ourselves that we don't fear him enough?

The Adversary is said to have been given all the beauty and intelligence one could have,

Yet he did not fear the LORD and knows of his coming punishment, and yet AFAWK he never repended.

That is why I believe Solomon's Father, David was called a man after Gods own heart, even though he sinned,
he always repented, he had a contrite heart and that's what the LORD wants, he knows we are human, but
in our fear or respect of him we fail and we should repent of it.

That is soooooo true. The thinking too highly of ourselves is akin to the adversary, and the very thing that took him down, and the very thing that is our own demise.

Pride.

It's deadly.

And amen about David. This is why i love David. Yes, he sinned, and rather horribly, YET he KNEW WHO top go to about it, and he DID!

Precious.

lulav and brinny...I agree so totally!

 

[brinny]

God is GOOD, dear sis, amen? He is a GOOD teacher. It seems He has given Lulav, and you and me the same mindset on this very crucial theme. How precious that is.

God bless us, ev'ry one (((hug)))
