Proverbs of Solomon at the time when he was King of Israel

Life and the meaningless of it without the LORD, even though the LORD is meaningful and is a very present help in life.

Proverbs 2 The Value of Wisdom (Part 2)
10 When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, 12 To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, 13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths; 16 To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words, 17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God. 18 For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead; 19 None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life—20 So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness. 21 For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it; 22 But the wicked will be [c]cut off from the earth And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
The Christ/Messiah – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God

We are a wayward people; Jews and Gentiles alike, if we are not conscious of the existence of God we are not falling into the hands of the devil’s world, we are in it and involved from the head to the foot. This is important so I think we all should take note. There are three main paths in the devil’s world. Now to lay a framework, let’s take a look at Psalm 119:105 – Your Word is a Lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Literally, a pathway is fixed, we do not have to trail-blasé our way through the woods to grandmother’s house each time we go, but spiritually and mentally we may trail-blasé a path or two where wisdom is needed. Not the wisdom of the world which always leads to dangerous consequences but from the Wisdom that only God can provide. Also, we do not have to trail-blasé a path in the waywardness of the world. These pathways already exist. Adonai/Jesus spoke of these pathways in the gospel of Matthew.

Matthew 7:13 “Go in through the narrow gate; for the gate that leads to destruction is wide and the road broad, and many travel it; 14 but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

The road of the Wisdom of God is a hard road, but one of continual pleasantness. The wide road has three lanes to travel on (3) a moral road full of do’s and don’ts causing most in this lane to switch back and forth and from the other lanes. The other lanes are lanes of (1) immorality and (2) idolatry. To get an understanding of this you must read Romans, chapters 1 through 3.

You will not find any ‘pleasant life’ on the wide road to destruction, all of the people on the wide road will reap the momentary ‘pleasures of life’ and eternal damnation as they die and are placed in the Lake of Fire. Therefore, we must take serious the Word of God and let God bring us to Him by faith.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 203 Luke 21:7   –   So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be?

He rose from this death; He is alive again .

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
