2018 Oct 06 Proverbs 6, Psalms, Matthew 6
Good day to you! Let's start by continuing our look at Proverbs, this time Pr 6:1-5
"1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, If you have given your handshake to a stranger, 2 If you have been ensnared by your promise, Caught by the words of your mouth, 3 Do this, my son, and free yourself, For you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor: Go and humble yourself and urgently plead with your neighbor. 4 Do not allow your eyes to sleep, Nor your eyelids to slumber. 5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, Like a bird from the hand of the birdcatcher."
No one wants to be in such a situation. You've opened your mouth and made an obligation with someone, and something unexpected has come along to throw you off course, perhaps temporarily hindering you from meeting that agreement. No doubt you should go to Jehovah in prayer over the matter. Then, what wisdom not to delay, but humble yourself and "urgently plead with your neighbor." Do whatever you can to appease the other party, and perhaps get back on track with your obligation. Jehovah will no doubt bless your effort to keep your word to the extent possible.
While God's name Jehovah should appear in over 7,000 places in the Scriptures, as it originally appeared, many Bible have it replaced with LORD, all capitals. But some left it in a few places. In the King James Version of the Bible, God's full name appears in 7 places, including Psalm 83:18, which reads "18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." Now the context reveals that the name is referring to God, but is the "most high" mentioned elsewhere in the Scriptures? Yes, in the 6th psalm of book 2, Psalm 47. Notice verses 1,2 in our modern Bible: "...Shout in triumph to God with joyful cries. For Jehovah the Most High is awe-inspiring; He is the great King over all the earth." Jehovah wants his name known, but with the great respect and admiration it deserves. The sanctification of God's name is foremost in the Model Prayer, or the Our Father prayer of Matthew 6:9,10, as Jesus taught his disciples, and is part of the theme of every inspired book of the Bible, the theme of the Bible being the vindication of God's sovereignty, or right to rule mankind, and the sanctification of His name, upholding it as holy, cleared of reproach.
Matthew 6:1-4 exhorts not to practice our "righteousness in front of men in order to be noticed by them. 2 So when you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your gifts of mercy may be in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you."
Yes, we want to be different from the world influenced by evil, pleasing God, but we shouldn't act like the self-righteous Pharisees who sought the glory from men in everything they did. We should want our glory to come from God, in his own time and way, as we seek God's glory by obeying Him and helping others see that serving Him is the best way of life. When extending kindness to others, it is best not to "let your left hand know what your right hand is doing," an expression indicating that we should not advertise our work even to those who are as close to us as our left hand is to our right hand, that is, even to our intimate companions.

Upcoming is the next (7) Proverbs B post. Some may recall the mention of the first day of Spring according to the 8-Day Calendar on d.302, about a week ago. Many have noticed the difference one week can make, when there was hardly a leaf on a tree and now they are flourishing! Proverbs B will be chapter 17 verses 21-25, PR-B(17.6) . Posted. Updates. (26:03.08 (Fwn) or y26.308 or d.308 or :3.8, o4/15/26 7:39,43; 8:11,27; 9:04 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posting (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4 verses 7-10, PR-A(04.2) . Posted. Updates, verses 8-10. (26:03.06 (Sha) or y26.306 or d.306 or :3.6, o4/13/26 7:21,33 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posting (4A) Psalm 119 Stanza 15 Commentary , up soon...POSTED. (26:03.02 (Sha) or y26.302 or d.302 or :3.02, o4/9/26 6:53,56 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! A new blogpost, 3A! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4 verses 1-8, PR-A(04.1). On post 3B, added (4A) Psalm 119 Preview of Stanzas 15-19, and on post 3C, added (7) Proverbs B, chapter 17 verses 15-20, PR-B(17.5). On the 8-Day this is March or Shuay the 2nd, which is the actual beginning of Spring, again by the 8-Day Calendar! So the winter does end a little sooner than perhaps in times past as God has willed it, despite a trick that was causing it to appear to be sooner than it should have been. We are now currently about 1 1/4 months difference between the 7-Day and 8-Day Calendars, but it may be best to continue with the 7-Day this year in the U.S., until we can build enough consensus to switch with much of the world to the current or true 400-day calendar; we would be off about 2 months by year's end. LAST MONTH 2026 02/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.

LAST MONTH 2026 01/12 SPECIAL ADDITIONS AND NOTES (7) Proverbs B, chapter 16 verses 29-33 (conclusion of chapter 16), PR-B(16.7) . Planning tomorrow new posts to include Proverbs A as well or at least Stanza 11 of Psalm 119. A side note: You may notice that the 8-day calendar is the end of the month, Lunarday, abbreviated Lnr. To be clear, Lunarday would normally be a New Moon, not a Full Moon. At one time, GOD had the moon phases lining up with the 8-day calendar, so that the 33/34 day month was the moon's cycle, and the moon phases were always on the weekends--new moon, quarter/first-half moon, full moon, etc. At some point He dropped that when we weren't yet acknowledging the new calendar. But this is something He can or will do when we do begin to recognize it more officially, as other countries have around the world. We are still in the midst of Winter in the U.S., even though Baseball Spring training camp began some time ago, and some were beginning to wonder if it was going to become a Winter sport. Proverbs B posted. Update to Notes above. Update to Proverbs 16, verse 33. Further. NOTE : God's name in some places uses the ( ) for the last letter z. I had found out that a long time ago God actually gave permission to use His name without the plural 'z' ending. Still, He is 'the First and the Last', 'the Alpha and the Omega', 'the A and the Z'. In the case of 'Jehovah(z)', it evidently is still the case, although there is something else to add to this, in the article on the Names of God and His Son; look for this coming up.
