Jessica irene patrick on Proverbs 1 - 11 years ago
this website is very helpful for getting me closer to God's Word. It is very efficient, yet I remember what the verses say and somehow, on this website it actually makes the verses more understandable, even if there is no "interpreter" looming over my shoulder. It makes me feel happier and more content with the start of my Christian life, and I hope to improve in other areas. I do believe God is calling me to do just that. Pray for me!
My thoughts about Proverbs 1.The most important thing is the fear of the Lord in our lives..we need to seek and read the BIBLE daily because the Bible is our protection fron the enemy.If the real christian follow and choose the wordly thing,,he or she will face the consequences,,the fruit of what she or he did.if you chose the unbeliever way you are in the chanel of enemies..and it is very dangerous..so if you still have time,,turn to Lord and forget the ungodly way..every children of God had a big chance to repent and go back to the Lord.Jesus Christ the son of the living God.
There seems to be a bit of misconception, even within well tutored and perhaps thorough bred Christians about the knowledge of good and evil as the Bible states it in the book of Genesis, the beginning of the Bible. And really that shouldn't be the case. The truth is, in that commencement chapter and some few chapters after it, it was the sin that Adam and Eve committed that made them loose the garden that God gave them. As a matter of fact, prior to what is known as the fall in the garden of Eden, God did prepare everything for them, and there was a river from Eden to water that garden and it became, four rivers that watered it according to the Holy Scripture, Genesis: 1, 2, 3. However, despite that fall, a way was made available and prophecy about Jesus Christ was given. And therefore when somebody, no matter where that person is from, genuinely and truthfully gives his or her life to the resurrected Jesus Christ, that person automatically and spiritually becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. �For as many that received Him He gave them the power to become sons of God, even those who believe in His name�, John 1:12. And from them, all the things that Jesus Christ has with regard to the covenant, belong to him, as such individual committedly putting his or her dependency on the LORD. In other words, he or she, thus becomes joint heir with Jesus Christ of Nazareth; the man between man and God. However, such a new specie must start his/her Christian life, with the milk of the Word and also ensure that he or she conducts himself or herself daily, in line with the Word of God. And that is why daily spiritual exercise comes into it, ( John 3:16; Matthew 6;33). And if, according to the Word of God, I�m the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ, then this implies I�m also the goodness of God, through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That is where justification by faith becomes something that every believer, should and must know about and also put into daily practice. In other words, if I can speak, for instance, my life to justification, then sanctification, and purification through the Holy Spirit ministration become possible vis a vis justification, and that is through the weaponry of the God kind of faith, Romans 1:16,17. In real fact, it is far more than what the physical eyes can see. Also it is far, and far more than stickers that you put on cars or vehicles or on the front of your door. And that is because; these are issues that have the backing of the immortal and the invisible, and they are only for the discerned, Deuteronomy 29:29. Also, it should be mentioned that, the Wisdom of God, with specific reference to the Word of the Holy Writ is not, and never compatible with unrighteousness, neither does it have semblance with ungodliness. Therefore, as believers and saints, we must not get into being, as it were, devil's consciousness, otherwise instead of concentrating on the aspect of obedience, there would be the tendency that the devil is the one that we would put blame upon, as the cause of some of the problems that a Christian is going through. And yet, that may not be the case. And that is where and personal examination becomes necessary. Hence, the import of honouring and practising things that we've learnt from God's Word, that are being taught, and that the Holy Spirit is dispensing and bringing into our individual lives. In fact it is very important that we understand that Jesus Christ has already conquered the world, therefore we are not only saved, but delivered, blessed, sanctified and purified. And with that understanding, it becomes necessary that we know and recognise that we are not only Christians, but also soldiers, as it were, in the Army of the LORD, with the righteousness of Jesus Christ and His goodness at work, in and upon our lives. And that is, to the honour and glory of our resurrected Saviour. Blessed be the name of the LORD; for Him alone is worthy of glory and honour.
We have knowledge of good and evil.Wisdom is the fear of the Lord,the use of knowledge of his will is wisdom in choices we make.The turning away from evil is understanding. He has given us of his Spirit,the Spirit of truth. I thank God, for wisdom and undrstanding come from his word,Jesus.We can gain all sorts of knowledge of good and evil,what we do with that knowledge is to be dictated by Gods word.For he has given us everything for life and Godliness.His word is life and truth to live by day in and day out.
The Wisdom of God, is only for those that are, inside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and it has demands upon demands that the inhabitants therein, are meant to honour and practice to the glory of His name. Blessed be His holy name forever and ever! Hallelujah
Wisdom is a beautiful spiritual lady that God the Father brought forth in the beginning, I believe she is the heavenly Mother of Jesus and he shares wisdom with mankind.
If we listen to and follow God's word, He will allow his spirit to dwell in us. And His spirit will give us understanding and revelation of God's word.
Proverbs is the book of wisdom you want to be wise read the word, in the morning and at night even in the midnight hours. Let God be your daddy and Jesus your brother, and when you are feeling downhearted don�t cry, God is already there, he will see you through.
To me, this book of Bible should be given to every Christian youth to read it through, because as a youth I go back to it each time I am on a crossroad.
What strikes or hits me is that, this word is real! Do what it say, and watch God do what he says! Verse 30, for example, they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproofs. But do this and listen to God�s word, then watch your owns ways change. But you have to do this with your heart! Because this is what God looks at, and takes seriously. Verse 31, therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own wickedness! Verse 23, thus saith God, turn you at my reproof (counsel)! Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you! Do this, and see God really lead you and guide you and tell you more than what the people go to church or worship building know. Because you are his people and he is your God through Jesus Christ! If your heart troubles you, God is greater than our heart and knows all things, but there is no man, stepping up then goes back, such an one is not fit for the kingdom of God ( Luke 9:62)! Or if any man draws back, God's soul have no more pleasure in him ( Hebrews 10:38). I know people think we should try to live the bible as best we can, but God said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds or comes forth out of the mouth of God ( Deuteronomy 8:3, Mark 4:4, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4). God is not playing with us when he came through Jesus Christ! God is with us for truth and righteousness, and to heal and raise us from the dead. Because his enemies are real, God through Jesus Christ also is real! But there are more of the enemy then of the truth or spirit of God! Because the enemy deceives us with the fancy, glittery things, and the things that are pleasing to the eyes, to trick us, and this he does well, but for destruction and hell! God sent his son servant here to deliver us from the fallen spirits, and to raise us up with truth and healing and strength. But many despise God�s wisdom, and rather believe the or a lie ( Romans 1:23), but while we stop and believe the lie, God keeps moving and leaves us behind, and says; unless you repent, you shall likewise perish ( Luke 13:3). My name is David Brown I'm living true witness, because Jesus Christ made me so, and to expose the lie and lay the truth, even if no-one wants to hear it!
God's love is inexhaustible, unfathomable, and incomparable, and part of it is the book of Proverbs. The Holy Writ has to offer for whosoever dares to love his Creator, through the resurrected Jesus Christ, believe it and honour its dictates.
Want to be mature? Want to walk on straight paths? Want peace not misery? Refrain not from the words of this book! If you have been a true bible living Christian you know this is a book of life living! It guides, directs and teaches many times I went astray only to come back and find myself seeking these words again, and again. Truly one book you are never finished reading or living! Have a blessed life.
When I personally read through the book of Proverbs I get inspiration that even up to this very moment works perfectly in me. Let me give you some of the examples of what I mean, when I come to a place and I happen to hear just a thing at my arrival. I can easily tell you all that they have been saying even in my absence. Or I can just look at a person and tell the person certain things about his/her life. This I did not have before, but I got after reading through the book of Proverbs. Thanks, and God bless you all.
This is the problem with socialism: No matter how hard someone works, or doesn't work, everyone gets the same pay/goods/benefits. It kills individual motivation to use the gifts God gives each of us to the best of their ability.
The book of Proverbs talks a lot about wisdom, knowledge and understanding. I can really learn a lot from this book in the bible. The book of Proverbs can change the way you think act and speak. IT WILL FILL YOU WITH WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.
Thank you.
