Proverbs 4:1-5
4:1-5
A Father's Wise Instruction
4 Hear, O
sons, a father's instruction,
and be attentive, that you may gain[a] insight,
2 for I give you good precepts;
do not forsake my teaching.
3 When I was a son with my father,
tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,
4 he taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom; get insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
and be attentive, that you may gain[a] insight,
2 for I give you good precepts;

3 When I was a son with my father,

4 he taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;

5 Get wisdom; get insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
I
know this scripture takes us to the Father’s heart and the sweetest spot of
intimacy between child and mother. The
moments when the world goes away and you just breath in the sweetness and the
essence of the miracle of your children.
Yes, Lord….we must not forget and we pray that our children don’t
forget.
I
want to take this scripture to the intimacy that I share with God. For me it is in the mornings before the house
wakes up and the activity level rises. In the quiet of the morning, I sit with
Him and I listen and write, study and repent. I am attentive for His
precepts and I gain insights- precious
jewels that are laid out for me. I am
the only one in sight of this Lady called “Wisdom” as I acquaint myself with
her ways and ingest her teachings. A
tender time of intimacy with our Father.
In
the evenings I listen to the Bible being read.
I wake with Him and I go to sleep with Him, searching, praying for a
higher perspective.
And
then, there is that person that is driving sooooooooooo slow in front of
me! Really? Through clenched teeth I have been heard to
say, “Bless them Lord!! Bless them!!!
Thank you for this opportunity to practice...... my........grrrrrrrrr......... patience.” <sigh> I am
reminded a thousand times a day of my humanness.
This
scripture today, for me, takes me back to the quiet of my mornings and the
intentionality of my evenings where my focus in God. My prayer over the course
of this study is that I would carry more of His presence for longer periods
during my day. That my “flesh trigger” would become smaller and smaller and my
“grace button” would fire easily.
Get wisdom; get insight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
Lord, I pray that all of us would delight in
Your teachings and that they would be written on our hearts, so that Your Holy
Spirit can remind us throughout the day who we are, whose we are and that we wo
operate out of this identity.

Proverbs 3:32-35
Day Four
32 for
the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.[c]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get[d] disgrace.
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.[c]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get[d] disgrace.
There
are six things that are an abomination to the Lord:
·
Eyes that are arrogant
·
A tongue that lies
·
Hands that murder the innocent
·
A heart that hatches evil plots
·
Feet that race down a wicked path
·
A mouth that lies under oath
·
A troublemaker in the family
To
walk with Wisdom seems to be a constant state of checks and balances…”Did I
handle that situation the best I could have?” “Could I have offered more
grace?” “Did I love them well?” Reading the Word, digesting these precepts and keeping
them written on the tablets of our hearts.
To
gain control over our eyes, tongue, hands, heart and feet. I don’t know about you, but I feel
overwhelmed at times with how quickly I forget these precepts and how quick my
tongue is to speak in anger, how my spirit is prone to complaining- rather than
edifying. This thing we have set out to
do, this Holy Obedience is no small task! Do you feel it? It is a constant battle with the flesh. In
this fallen world it is easier to simmer in our fleshy attributes. Anger, jealousy, control, No one has to stop
and take a breath and say, “I’m just counting to ten here so I can speak in
absolute anger, criticism and sarcasm....” No!! Anger flies out of us,
criticism is our nature, white lies make the day easier, complaining is
comfortable.
This
thing we are doing is a task most noble.
And
at times I just feel like I am failing miserably at it.
But,
I think we press on. Our sweet Jesus meets us where we are and encourages streams of life out of
us.
What
does that mean in my day to day? I always have a choice, moment by moment to
operate out of God’s economy or the World’s economy. I have a thousand, million chances each day
to get it right.
Thank
you God for this handbook of living that we begin to digest and delve
into. Thank you for your eternal
patience as we strive to inhabit more of the heavenly realms and less of the
flesh. Help us all today to “get it right” more than we get it wrong.

Proverbs 3:28-31 It's Not Easy!!
I love The message’s version of our scriptures for today:
"Don’t figure ways of taking advantage of your
neighbor
when he’s sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.30-32 Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight.
Don’t try to be like those who shoulder their way through life.
Why be a bully?
“Why not?” you say. Because God can’t stand twisted souls.
It’s the straightforward who get his respect."
when he’s sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.30-32 Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight.
Don’t try to be like those who shoulder their way through life.
Why be a bully?
“Why not?” you say. Because God can’t stand twisted souls.
It’s the straightforward who get his respect."
I find it difficult to write of these words in
scripture, because I would hope that none of us are doing these things,
knowingly. So, I find myself going
before the Lord and asking Him, “How would this look, if we weren’t aware of
what we were doing?”
To “take advantage” is to put ourselves in a
superior position. I don’t think we are
ever meant to inhabit the throne of superiority. How do you navigate an environment of
productivity, while encouraging personal growth? In your ministries, in your small groups? It is hard to lead with a compassionate heart
coupled with a heart that allows others to explode into their God-given
destinies, while maintaining a humble, contrite heart- AND still moving
forward! He calls us to a tightrope,
with grace as our catching net. So, to
not take advantage of each other, in our day to day. To encourage and build up is the key I think-
as hearts struggling to get it right in a fallen world.
Don’t walk around looking for a fight. What
could this look like? We all have buttons that get pushed and the enemy knows
our triggers far better than we do. Do
you find yourself irritated, lashing out – and not sure why? I would offer that the enemy used your
trigger and stomped on your last nerve.
Slow down. Take account of what
you are feeling and what is going on around you as the irritation builds. Don’t
speak in anger and don’t lash out. Wait. Pray. Listen. What is the Lord telling you about….You? About your triggers? The Lord is so gracious that He provides us
with so many opportunities to houseclean our own hearts – we simply couldn’t have time to look into anyone
else’s for malignancy!! My heart is my
full time job.
Don’t be a bully. As women I think we can bully through
controlling natures. To micromanage and to force our way into all we do. Again,
a tightrope with grace as our catching net. To allow others to flourish and
bloom through a servant’s heart- while moving forward and serving the King. Not
an easy road to haul. Not an easy road
when you are in a position of authority.
How do we maintain a nurturing environment, encouraging others and not
loosing sight of goals? Not an easy position when you are in ministry and under authority. John 13:34 says,
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." In all situations to allow conversations and encouraging winds to flourish.
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." In all situations to allow conversations and encouraging winds to flourish.
Grace is such a key to all of these situations
and our Christian lifestyle.. His grace for us, shared freely with all that we
interact with. To treat others with loving kindness, slow to speak, slow to
anger, quick to listen, quick to encourage.
The ESV goes on to say:
30 Do
not contend with a man for no reason,
when he has done you no harm.
31 Do not envy a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
when he has done you no harm.
31 Do not envy a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
As
Christians, we do the best we can, making choices minute by minute. It will rain on the righteous and it will
rain on the wicked. We GET TO make choices minute by minute. We GET TO choose the higher road and operate
out of His grace. People hurt us and disappoint us. People will “contend with us” for no apparent
reason that we are aware of. We are all
sinners saved by grace and we GET TO operate out of God’s economy forgiving and
loving, because He showed us how. He
loved us when we were still sinners, forgave us all of our trespasses,
continues to forgive me moment by moment.
His thoughts about me outnumber the sands and He sings over me. I GE
TO operate out of His grace moment by
moment- difficult situation by situation.
Hurtful people become a mission field for my heart to grow through
offering grace and forgiveness.
Nobody
said Holy Obedience to the Ordinary was going to be easy!

A Broken-Hearted Blessing
Todays Devo served up by Angels Moran: Broken-Hearted Blessing

Proverbs 3: 25-28
Day Two:
Do
not be afraid of sudden terror
or of the ruin[a] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[b]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,or of the ruin[a] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[b]
when it is in your power to do it.
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
It is interesting to note that in today’s reading, we are reminded that we do, indeed, live in a fallen world and that there will be terrors and ruin. There will be fears and terrors in our days, but when our foundation is the rock on which we stand, our feet will remain secure. Terrors will come. This can be in the form of being layed off, sickness, cancer, addictions. Things will surprise us and take us off guard. Yet, when we are focused on His will and his promises, nothing will shake us from our foundations. Do you have “terrors” right now- circumstances that caught you off guard, seemingly snuck up on you?
Remember that this whole journey begins with “Fear of the Lord”. A reverence in Him, a trust in His character and nature. Perhaps if the storm is taking you out, it might serve you to remember who He is?
Assignment: Open your journal to a two page spread. On the top of each page, write “Who do you say I am?” On the left hand side – imagine that Father God is speaking to you answering your question to Him; “ Father God, who do You say I am?” Fill in all of the words that he speaks to your heart…beloved, child, etc, You may get words that are not nurturing and kind, encouraging and up-lifting. This is not who you are – these are lies that have been written on your heart by the enemy of your soul. I would sit on those words and ask Jesus how those negative words found their way into your story- and journal it out.
On the other side, the right hand side of the spread, imagine Father God is looking into your eyes and He is asking you, “My child, who do you say I am?” Write every word that comes to you – every word of who God is . You may be get words that are not nice, not comforting. Punitive. Judgmental. This is not who God is, but it may be a lie that the enemy has written on your heart. How did these lies get written into your story and into your perception of God?
If you are stuck in a storm, sinking fast, this exercise may help you find a foothold, abolishing a lie that is weighing you down.
Do a scripture search of the character of God. Listen to the song and wrote His names. His names speak of His promises. He will hold you up and He will keep you from terrors.
Names of God, John Paul Jackson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UQf9zZBzv4
The last of our verses today seem to speak to me of living through a generous, abundant mindset:
27 Do
not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[b]
when it is in your power to do it.28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
when it is in your power to do it.28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
These
scriptures seem to speak against a poverty mentality that we can live out
of. Again, I think this goes back to
trust. If there is an opportunity to love recklessly and give abundantly---do
you trust that it does not take away from you in any way? In God’s economy there is plenty. This
scripture is often viewed through a monetary perspective. I would like to offer a different view. In
God’s economy there is no competition and there is no reason to not acknowledge
another’s talents and successes. The
Body of Christ is made up of a mosaic of colors and talents. There is no room
for jealousy, competition and control. To rejoice in each other’s successes is
to operate as the Bride of Christ. Do
not withhold “good” from those to whom it is due. Congratulate your peers
rejoice in their success! When God knit
you together in your mother’s womb He placed a calling on His elect. You were
crafted with a distinct purpose in His Kingdom. Only you can do the thing that
His fingerprints made you to do.
Jealousy and competition is a thing from hell that divides the Bride of
Christ and causes her to falter. Do not withhold any good thing from your
neighbor. Live with a reckless abandon
of glorifying God in each interaction that you have, rejoicing in others and
loving with abandon!
Rejoicing
in another’s success does not diminish you in any way. It does not make you
less than. It does not mean there is “less for you”. It does not mean that you
are not as good. It only means that you are mature and rejoicing when another
walks in their destiny. When someone
finds their destiny and wears it as a mantle, it is cause for merriment in the
Kingdom. As they put on their mantle, it
helps define others position and purpose.
We are all created to be wearing our mantle, as a completed “gear”, in
the mechanism called “the Bride”,
operating as a giant machine – together glorifying and magnifying our God. Do not withhold good. Trust in Him.

Proverbs 3:21-24
21 My son, do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
We are to keep “sound wisdom” and “discretion”, lets look at
the original meaning of these words.
The word for Sound Wisdom is tü·shÄ“·yä', meaning enduring success - of the effect of sound wisdom. Enduring success. I think is important to
define “enduring success”, remember that we are trading in man’s economy for
God’s economy. Let’s not define success monetarily, or through power and
possession. Let’s define success through
the promises that have been listed so far in the first few chapters of
Proverbs:
·
Security
·
Ease
·
Without
dread of disaster
·
Success
·
Blameless
·
Guarded
·
Shielded
·
Knowledge
·
Pleasant
·
Long
life
·
Prosperity
·
Love
·
Faithfulness
·
Favor
with God and man
·
Health
·
Barns
overflowing
To
live our life under these promises would be an enduring success! I love the
saying, “Some people are so poor, all they have is money”. Money, power and control do not leave us with
a peaceful, easy feeling that Wisdom – or reverence of God- affords us.
Let’s
look at “discretion”: mez·im·mä', meaning a purpose. Our scriptures today open with Solomon
reminding the reader to not loose sight of these two precepts- enduring success
through Wisdom and purpose. To never loose sight of them. Do you see how impossible a task that is, in
our world of instant gratification, and a society that is as focused as “Dory”
in “Finding Nemo”? Our society is
relentless in demanding our attention. In a fast paced world where internet is
on our phones and anyone can reach us at anytime over everything----to NOT
LOOSE sight of Enduring success through Wisdom and purpose. It is no wonder
that Solomon seems to entreating us to sit up in our seats and take
notice. To HEAR what is being said to
our Spirits, not to merely listen. To
understand that we must not loose sight of these tenets, if we want to walk in
the promises of God.
These two things:
enduring success and purpose will – literally will be life for our soul. Is is
“chay” – life- meaning
·
sustenance
· flowing, fresh (of water)· lively, active (of man)
· reviving (of the springtime)
Is the Word of God not a constant mystery, ready to feed us our daily bread? Is it not so exciting to dig into His word and find His mysteries? Sound Wisdom and purpose will flow like fresh water, sustaining us and reviving us. Drink it in let it nourish your very DNA.
These will bring life to us and be an adornment for our neck. Here the word is “chen”, meaning:
·
Favor,
·
grace,
·
charm
·
elegance
·
acceptance
Oh my goodness, what promises this book holds, are you prepared to pay the
price for all of these promises? To walk
through our days with this sort of character, this sort of stance that allows
us to be in the world not of it! There
is a price – we can not loose sight of Wsdom, or our reverence and fear of God.
Solomon is lying down quite the case to take his words seriously. The cost----- holy obedience to the ordinary. If we can pay the price, Solomon goes on to promise that we will walk in security, our foot will not stumble and when we lie down we will not be afraid. I find myself overwhelmed by the nuances of His Word today. It soaks into my heart like a fresh spring on parched ground. I am stuck in the words, “DO NOT LOSSE SIGHT OF”…. Help us Lord to not loose sight in the everyday. Help us to breath you in every moment of every day.

Chasing Wisdom Proverbs 3: 9-12
Day Three
9 Honor
the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My
son, do not despise the Lord’s
discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.[b]
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.[b]
Promises:
then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
The
statistics on tithing in our country are meager and depressing. In a world of
keeping up and instant gratification, money and time are priceless commodities
that we do not part with easily, at least in the favor of the Lord. I know that
we all know that everything we have comes from Him, every good thing is from
the Lord. So, why is it so hard to give our first fruits back to Him. I think this ties into yesterdays reading –
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Tithing is a trust issue. If you give it
away, will you have enough to pay the bills? Will there be enough to feed the
kids. I cant tell anyone what to do, or
how to handle finances, but I think Trust is at the heart of this issue. Do you trust the Lord to tithe for one week?
Maybe start there….then add two weeks and see what happens. I think God will blow all of our socks off as
we meet Him in holy obedience in the ordinary.
He promises that our barns will be filled to overflowing and our vats
will brim over with new wine…this is the promise of God---He will provide an
abundance. I don’t think we should tithe with the thought of cashing in on the
good nature of God, investing in Him in hopes of getting a higher return….no, I
think our hearts have missed the point here.
I think it is about humility and gratefulness that we give back to the
Lord what He has blessed us with. It is
a humble contrite heart that tithes and gives to the Lord- not a manipulative
one.
The
next part of our verses I love- Do not despise the Lord’s discipline. Every moment is a teachable moment if we
allow it to be. I believe that the Lord loves me to much to leave me where I
am, He wants me Holy----not necessarily happy.
Every moment, every difficult person, every hard lesson, every rift in
my spirit and peace ----is a place for me to examine – ME. Not a place to lay
blame and point the fingers at others.
IF something is going on,, where is the Lord looking to grow – ME? He loves us so much that He affords us
countless opportunities to loose more of ourselves with every “difficult”
situation we face. Rather than focus on others- I focus on me and ask Him,
“What am I to learn here Lord?”
Difficult people are here to sharpen and expose triggers in self.
Situations are a place to grow in faith. Unanswered prayers are and opportunity
to pray without ceasing. I believe that
nothing is wasted by God, and as I walk out my life---He provides so many
places for me to grow…that sow driver and the slow cashier ----thank you God
for allowing me practice at patience, sprinkled heavily with mercy. Every moment we are to trust in the Lord and
lean not on our own understanding. Let’s
all agree to find Him in our moments, not just in our quiet time in the
morning, or on Sunday mornings. Let’s
tune into His frequency moment by moment so that we don’t miss a chance to grow
in Him and share Him with the world!

Chasing Wisdom : Proverbs 3:1-4
Day One:
My
son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let
love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
It is interesting to note here that the Father speaks to his
son and says, “…Do not forget…”, this implies that the knowledge and the
teachings, the experience and the life lessons of an older generation have been
passed down into the next generation. To
“forget” something, one must have known something. The flip side of this coin
is so beautiful as parents, mentors, grandparents, disciples, friends….to lead
by example and to live out your Christian walk. Others are watching. Are we living our life so that others would
know us by our love?
A warning issued by a father centuries ago, warns his son
not to forget. How often do we forget?
How often does daily prayer time slip away with the task master called “THE
SCHEDULE”? How often does a mountain top experience, a burning intentionality
fizzle to background static?
How do we keep these commandments at the forefront of our
hearts? In days of old the Pharisees
would wear phylacteries. These
were cube shaped “small leather cases” that the Pharisees wore on their
foreheads and their arms. In these cases were the Scripture verses from Exodus
13: 1-10, 11-16 and Deuteronomy 6: 4-9; 11: 13-21 - See more at: http://www.scripturessay.com/what-were-the-phylacteries-that-the-pharisees-wore/#sthash.8abe6ttG.dpuf
The
fringes on the Pharisees robes were reminders that they walked with God- each
time the wearer noticed the fringes, he was to ask himself if he were – truly –
walking with God.
I think it is fair to gather, that wearing these reminders,
of our pursuit towards Holy obedience, did not work for the Pharisees and,
probably, would not work for us for very
long. After a time, the little leather
cases would become mundane, regular, and not noticed.
So how do we NOT FORGET? How do we store His commandments in
our hearts? I would say it is about
relationship. I don’t forget that I am married and that I am a mother. These
relationships take up much of my attention and my heart. IF I don’t see my husband, or children, for
days on end- my heart longs to connect with them. This is wehre I think God
would have us. Daily, moment by moment,
relationship…where we pant as a deer when we have not been in His presence. In
this place of relationship, it is not about FORGET, it is about RELATIONSHIP.
Draw close to Him moment by moment, day by day- He is always
with you- you are always a presence carrier of the Most High. Let that burn in
your heart as the men on the road to Damascus.
We have two more promises for our promises page! Wisdom will:
·
prolong your life many years
·
bring you peace and prosperity
I love the image that is brought to mind next – the image of
WRITING Love and faithfulness on the tablet of my heart. Oh how beautiful
is that image,, when we write it in a permanent marker and not chalk dust!!
When it is burned into the tablet of our heart and becomes who we are and what
we operate out of.
The word for “love, kindness, mercy and truth” here is: he-sed, meaning:
·
favor,
·
good
deed,
·
kindly,
loving-kindness,
·
merciful
kindness,
·
mercy,
·
pity,
·
reproach
A reproachable heart that is guided through
love and mercy. Is this the nature of our heart? Lord I pray that my heart would become this
vessel to carry you out into the world!
That this heart that is so prone to evil thoughts and dees, grumbling
and complaining would be teachable and reproachable- to bear witness to the
thunder that is housed within me, through Your Spirit.

·
trustworthiness
-- assured(-ly),
·

·

Oh
Lord, that my heart would remain stable and not be cast through and fro with
the moment by moments of each day. That
it would remain steadfastly true, fixed on You so that I might reflect Your
Glory and Your ways moment by moment!!!
When we do these things- when
we live in this manner – the promises are that then Then you will win
favor and a good name in the sight of God and man!
What
treasures He has bestowed upon us through this book!!
How
have you turned your world and priorities upside down, so that relationship is
more important that obligation? An interesting question, as the world and the
