Proverbs 8:1 “Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? Much of humanity is unnecessarily confused. God, our Almighty God, has had a Book written and has created a world where His truths are displayed and obvious. One has the will or ability to either ignore His truths or grasp them and enjoy the life God has intended for all. God’s absolute truths are in full view and are intended to make mankind both knowledgeable and wise. How are you observing the obvious? Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 7:1 “My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.” God begins the thoughts which follow with the loving words—My son. All His children He refer to as—My. God uses a possessive pronoun —My— to establish the most loving relationship known. Then He follows with instruction. Some have called the word Bible an acronym for—-Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. It does all of us well to love our study of this Instruction Manual.

Proverbs 6:26-27 “My son, keep your father’s commands and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them around your neck.” Some of you who read these devotional thoughts are parents while all of us are children. As parents we have a direct responsibility to our Heavenly Father to teach and live so our children thrive. As children we have a direct responsibility to learn and respect our parents so we can live and thrive. God again teaches a formula for success.

Proverbs 6:10-11 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest–and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.” This is a difficult passage to apply. It’s truth is absolute, but when do we enable and when do we help a person who truly needs help? That determination is subjective and individual. Every thoughtful, caring person who is concerned about his/her relationship with God (that is a huge statement) will apply this passage to themselves and come to a prayerful decision and that decision could change at different times in life. You and I must have open hearts and wise minds to determine the answer to the question—-Are we enabling or are we lovingly helping.

Proverbs 5:21 “For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths.” It is impossible to play hide and seek with God. Why? There is no place to hide. This might be the most valuable thought you hear today!
