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

2 Timothy 1:7 CJB For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love, and self-discipline.
Proverbs 3:9-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

Guidance for the Young Proverbs 3: Spiritual Insight (Part 2)
9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the first fruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; 12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

The Christ/Messiah – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God

Some may find it confusing, or some other facet of reasoning regarding wealth and discipline emerging from this section of Proverbs. We must recall that the entire Word of God was written in book form, but within the writing of each book, it was seldom to be found a chapter, a paragraph, or verse, or any sort of numbering system. There were no exclamation marks, periods, commas, hyphens or question marks. All of this was added years later.

Still, it seems confusing to follow Solomon’s thought, but often when I am following a subject in God’s Word it is difficult to stay on track, since there are so many parallels of truth that flow in and out my mind on the subject at hand. I consider this to be the joy and prosperity found in the Holy Word of God that we all need as we meditate in the Lord/Adonai.

Grace and Mercy are enormous gifts from God, without grace and mercy—there would be NO Truth. God’s ‘First Fruits’ is Jesus, He is the Christ/Messiah, He is the Lord, He is Adonai.

Exodus 34:6 – (CJB)  Adonai passed before him and proclaimed: “YUD-HEH-VAV-HEH!!! Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai] is God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace and truth. Note John 1:14 (NKJV) – And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

God gave us His First Fruit the Christ/Messiah, God expects us to understand the sacrifice of GIVING, when we fail to understand, our personal lives before Him contain the disciplines of God to bring us to understand the precious gifts that come to us from God’s Hand—Read and Meditate on the Epistle of 1st John.

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
