A Bible snippet—and more
Psalm 62:6 (5) My soul, wait in silence for God alone, because my hope comes from him. 7 (6) He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won’t be moved.

Proverbs 6 (CJB) The Command and Law of godly parenting

Beware of Adultery
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared? 29 So is he who goes into his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent. People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.31 Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house. 32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul. 33 Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is a husband’s fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
The Christ/Messiah – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God
This is not the first time, as we know and have already observed in Proverbs that the LORD hates the sins of humans. The root of these sins are morality and immorality which are anchored in the self-righteousness of mankind leading into the sin of Satan, (a created being) who pridefully and self-righteously separated himself from the love of God by seeking to exalt his personal created status above the almighty power and absolute authority of God the Creator.
Isaiah 14:13-24CJB – You thought to yourself, ‘I will scale the heavens, I will raise my throne above God’s stars. I will sit on the Mount of Assembly far away in the north. 14 I will rise past the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’  God’s love is far greater than any temporary selfish practice of sin. Yet, He reminds us continually of where we are in our world and where we ought to be in His love.
In our section of Proverbs, Solomon is discussing adultery, but his focus is on the last five Commandments Deuteronomy 5:16-20. Today, in Christendom many disregard the ten commandments because we are told by well-meaning pastors and teachers that we live today in the dispensation of the grace of God…(the church age). This is true; we do, but we do not have ‘THE GREEN LIGHT’ to run headlong into promiscuity. Our world today is full of sin, we have become pregnant with adultery, fornication, homosexuality, religion and a same-sex morality that defies the commandments of God. by replacing RIGHT with WRONG. May I say too, “as a result God has allowed us to give birth to these sins and we are reaping the results. ”We have aborted LIFE and harvested DEATH, But still; John 3:16 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.

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

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
