Two Plates From Which To Choose 

January 22, 2020


DAILY PROVERBS:

Proverbs 2:10-12 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;


OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

     Picture yourself walking into a room, and in the room were two plates of food. One plate is marked “healthy, nutritious.” However, it didn’t look so good. It wasn’t gross or smelly, but it didn’t look as good as the other plate. The other plate is marked “Poison.” Nevertheless, it was colorful and looked so good. You’re only allowed to have one plate, which will it be?
 
     Being smart enough to take the healthy plate, two things have happened. You not only get the vitamins and minerals you need for your body to grow and be healthy, you also avoid something that would have literally killed you.
 
     Wisdom and the world are much the same as these plates of food. As long as you are sitting back and looking at them, neither will do anything to you, or for you. However, eventually you’ll have to eat. Once wisdom enters your heart, and gets inside of you, you learn about the evils of this world. Once the respect for who God is seeps deep into your heart, you understand how sin hurts God, and you. Your desire for more food to strengthen you grows. It doesn’t look so plain anymore. You’ve come to love it because of the strength it gives you. The more you get, the stronger you get. Your decisions are now based on fact and wisdom, not dreams and lies. You start to see things as they are, and have no desire to be around people who live in sin and try to twist the truth. Why? It’s because knowledge is now pleasant and welcome in your soul. You love it.


THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

     The world will poison you against God. God will feed you, and send you out into that world. Why would He do that? Because, He loves the world you once came out of too. Be careful in that world. You need your daily Holy vitamins to make it out there. Did you get yours today?

Knowing Which Way To Go

January 21, 2020


DAILY PROVERBS:

Proverbs 2:6-9 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.


OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

     As a young boy, my parents often took us on vacation to Kentucky. This was where my dad grew up as a child, and also where my Grandma still lived at the time. She lived far out in the hills, way away from any real town. There was this little store down the road, which acted as the post office, pharmacy, hardware, grocery, and general store. That store and the little Baptist church were all that were there.

     Behind my Grandma’s house was a huge mountain, part of the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains. One day I decided to go up this mountain and do some exploring. My dad had taken me up before, so I felt confident I could do it alone. It was so beautiful up there. You could see everywhere. The higher I climbed, the farther I could see. I climbed and climbed, until I reached the very top of the mountain. I rested a bit, played around a while, and then decided to go back down the mountain to the house. There was just one problem, I could see miles away, but could not see the house. I had forgotten how I got up there and how to get down. I started down the hill on what I thought was the path I came up, but ended up walking through a thicket of thorn bushes and brush. When I came out to the road, I was over 2 miles away from the house, and all scratched up from my journey through the thorn bushes. I was fortunate. I could have come out on the other side of the mountain, about a ten-mile journey home. My dad had taken me up and down the mountain several times with no problem. How did he do that without ever going through the thistles and brush? Simple, he was raised there and he knew the paths.


THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

    God knows the paths for our life. He keeps our paths. He will guide us in them, if we will only listen to Him. However, when we go our own way, things can get rough. Let’s follow Jesus as He leads His dear children along. You don’t want to end up in the thorns bushes of life do you?

January 20, 2020 – Would You Kiss A Pig?

Would You Kiss A Pig?

January 20, 2020


DAILY PROVERBS:

Proverbs 2:3-5 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.


OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

    I heard this story from a friend of mine. It went something like this. There was a slave owner who had a daughter, and she had taken ill. Knowing one of his slaves prayed, and knew God; he went out and asked him, “How can I get to know this God of yours?” The godly slave said; “Master, you have to walk across this muddy field, climb over the fence, walk through the mud, grab that big fat ugly pig, and kiss it in the mouth, walk back through the mud, over the fence, and across the field, and then you can know Jesus.” The master said, “You’re crazy” and walked off. The next day his daughter was worse. The master went back out once again to inquire of his servant; once again, he was given the same reply. This went on several days, until one day the doctor told the master that his daughter was going to die. Wanting to know about this God, he went out one last time, and again received the same answer. Desperate, he walked across the muddy field, climbed over the fence, walked through the mud, grabbed the big fat ugly pig and kissed it right on the mouth, walked back through the mud over the fences and across the muddy field. He looked at the slave and asked, “Now do I know your Jesus?” The servant replied, “No master, but now you have proved you want to bad enough.”
 
      Friend, this is how much we should want to know about God. That no matter the price, He would be our greatest desire. Jesus told the rich young ruler in the New Testament the same thing. Forsake all and follow me.


THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

    Today really is the first day of the rest of your life. How badly do you want Jesus to be a part of it? Would you walk through the mud, and kiss a pig? Good News! You don’t have to. Nevertheless, would you?

Don’t Jump Without A Chute

January 17, 2020


DAILY PROVERBS:

Proverbs 2:1, 2 & 5 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;… Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.


OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

      In our study during the past couple of weeks, we have seen in verse seven of chapter one “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Knowledge.” This is the key verse to this book. Ok, you might ask then, just how do I find or obtain this fear of the Lord? That would be a valid question since God said this is what you need to get knowledge. 

     It would also be somewhat cruel, if God told us what it was that we needed to do, but then gave us no instruction on how to do it. It might be likened unto me telling you that Skydiving is fun, however, forgetting to explain about the parachute. After you jumped from the plane, you’d have a right to think that I wasn’t telling the truth about how much fun this was. The closer you came to the ground, the less you’d find skydiving to be fun. 

     Our life is much the same. The closer to the end of life we come, the more we realize just how much we really need all the details we can possibly get to completely enjoy it. God says in Proverbs Chapter two, exactly how to find the fear of the Lord.  

  • First He says LISTEN! “Receive the word,” and “incline thine ear,” both refer to learning. Listen to what God says. Learn as much as you can about who He is, and what He desires.  
  • Second He says REMEMBER! Don’t just read the word, but hide it in your memory. You’ll need this information later.
  • Thirdly He says ACT UPON IT! Don’t just sit there with a head full of knowledge, do something with it. If you do, you’ll understand who God is, what He knows, and how He wants you to live your life.  no!


THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

     Knowing about a parachute and jumping without it would make no sense. In fact, you would have to agree, that would be dumb. Knowing about God, and not using His wisdom to help in life, well I think you get the picture. Let’s be as wise as God allows us to be.
