Proverbs 1:10‭-‬15 NLT
My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! They may say, “Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent! Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave; let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death. Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take. Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.” My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.

Spot on.

This chapter helped me better understand God’s expectations to gain wisdom, his warning to beware temptations, and how wisdom is precious like silver.
The word said God gives knowledge and understanding- this to me is profound because knowing God’s word and understanding it are different.
I gravitated to verses 1 – 8 and 21 – 22. God’s promise to live in the land is a promise of His blessing for obedience.

My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones

Day 5 Chapter 5

Today’s passage spoke to the consequences of adulterous actions and the aimless direction of waywardness. It spoke of discretion in exposing things and referenced how it can flow through the streets. Disobedience can lead to self destruction and great loss.
I have said a whore is a sprint but a wife is the marathon.
Be blessed – I’m looking forward to worship today. ♥ ♥

Day 7 Proverbs 7
This chapter spoke on lust and adulterers. It disgusts me that people don’t honor their covenant to each other.
The chapter speaks of the behaviors of such adulterers and how some feel like they are “ok/justified”. It speaks of being in a snare or noose when people give into the temptation of lust and adultery.
The word says in verse 27 it is the highway to the grave.

Thank God for this challenge. It’s going great.
