God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:21-24 The pampering, the proud, the angry, and the accomplice
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:21-24 21 If a man coddles his servant from youth, he will bring grief in the end. The dilemma of this proverb is easily lost on a largely middle class nation without servants, but we have examples from the Scriptures to help us understand the trouble. A servant […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:17-20 Discipline with love
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:17-20 Verses 17, 18 and 19 present the same idea, that of correction, preaching and discipline, in two of the three estates of mankind: the home, the church, and then home again. In our culture, verse 19 could apply to employees as well as servants, and that would approach the […]

GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:13-16 13 The poor man and the one who oppresses meet each other here: They both have sight in their eyes from the LORD. No matter who we are, no matter whether I am a poor man or the sort of man who oppresses the poor and grinds […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:9-12 The cruel and the upright
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:9-12 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool either rages or laughs, but there is no peace. This is a common theme in Proverbs. There is little hope of reasoning with a fool, and especially in court. Jesus warned, “Do not throw […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:5-8 Faith that shows itself
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:5-8 5 A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a trap, but a righteous man will sing and be glad. These two proverbs are probably paired together because they both refer to […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:1-4 Sin to be confessed
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:1-4 This is the last chapter of the collection titled “More Proverbs of Solomon” (Chapters 25-29). 1 Someone who is often rebuked but stays stiff-necked will suddenly be destroyed– without remedy. This chapter begins with a frightening picture of the price of sin. A man who is called to […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:11-13 11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and everything that fills it up. 12 Let the fields be triumphant, and everything that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; 13 […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:7-10 7 Give to the LORD, O families of nations, give to the LORD glory and power. 8 Give to the LORD the glory of his name; bring a gift and come into his courts. In the first verses we had “Sing… sing… sing.” Now we respond to […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 96:1-6 Petty little gods
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:1-6 Psalm 96 is one of a handful of “orphan” psalms, with no author and no heading whatsoever. It is included with the fourth group or book of Psalms, poems that especially recall the exodus and the years in the wilderness when the people were led by Moses (Psalms 90-106). […]
God’s Word for You – Acts 21:15-16 A guest room is ready
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 21:15-16 15 After those days we packed up and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought us to be the guests of Mnason of Cyprus. He was one of the early disciples. It’s about seventy miles from Caesarea up over the […]
God’s Word for You – Acts 21:12-14 the deep breath before the plunge
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 21:12-14 12 When we heard this, we and the people there begged Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Paul answered, “Why are you crying? You’re breaking my heart! I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord […]
God’s Word for You – Malachi 1:9 This is repentance
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU MALACHI 1:9 9 O now, please, plead with God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift in your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of Armies. Unless we take this to be bitter sarcasm in the mouth of the Lord, we […]
