“My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend, to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom image

“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭19‬, ‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom image

“My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless, lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, and you say, ‘How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.’ Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. #truth #wisdom image

“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed; none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom These daily posts of selected verses from the book of Proverbs are to help build one’s faith in the Lord. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of the Lord. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

“The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. …my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.”” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭7‬, ‭15‬-‭19‬, ‭32‬-‭33‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom image

The grass withers and the flower 🌼 fades but the word of the Lord will last forever. “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬-‭31‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom

Preparation for Resurrection Sunday, hear now the reading of the Psalms 22: 1-16 He who has ears to hear let him hear. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!” Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet—” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #Jesus image

“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die: Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God. If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬-‭9‬, ‭32‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom #Jesus image

Each day I try to post verses that stand out to me as I read the Proverb’s chapter of the day. There’s 30 chapters of Proverbs so it works out well for most every month. From the ESV Study Bible: “The theme of the book of Proverbs is stated at its beginning (1:1-7): its goal is to describe and instill “wisdom” in God’s people, a wisdom that is founded in ‘the fear of the Lord’ and that works out covenant life in the practical details of everyday situations and relationships.” I find it very helpful in the practical details of everyday situations and relationships. Hopefully you find it helpful as well. Chapter 28 Proverbs indicate that righteous individuals are components of a just society. ❤️☕️🔥❤️☕️🔥❤️☕️🔥❤️☕️🔥 “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue. Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely. Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves. Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity. Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭2‬, ‭5‬-‭6‬, ‭11‬-‭12‬, ‭14‬, ‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom #jesus

For my entire adult life not really sure I was ever getting real sleep. Let me say that again. I don’t think I’ve ever really been able to sleep, really reach the right heights of whatever mode of sleep are the amazing level. Lots of reason for this I’m sure but the TLDR summary is this: CPAP has made a world of difference, SO FAR. Like watching the 47th, we will see how this goes. Hopeful, prayerful, laboriously and with low expectations that I might be able to continue getting good sleep. Less inflammation, more energy and passion for workouts and more endurance. This is the way. This is the result of listening to my wife, who has encouraged me. I’m not that smart but I’m smart enough to listen, sometimes. She has the Irish intuition 🍀 you know. We’re a good team. So here’s to another great night of rest ☕️ “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬
