2020 Jan 22-Jan 23 Proverbs 3, Psalm 119 Stanza 7A
Welcome, wishing you a lovely day! Let's continue in Proverbs 3, verses 27-30, then give attention to Psalm 119 Stanza 7A, verses 49-52.
Proverbs 3:27-30:
"27 Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go away; come back later! I will give it to you tomorrow, ”If you can give it now. 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you. 30 Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you.""27 Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it If it is within your power to help. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go away; come back later! I will give it to you tomorrow, ”If you can give it now."
"Do not plot harm against your neighbor When he lives in a sense of security with you."
"Do not quarrel with a man for no reason If he has done nothing bad to you."
Prove 3:30 Along the same lines, we should be careful to maintain a loving, appreciative spirit toward others, especially if they have done no wrong to us! The Scriptures warn us, at Ecclesiastes 7:9, "Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools." If we have a tendency to be easily offended by what others say, we may be quick to quarrel with them. Let's be careful: Proverbs 1:7 says "Only fools despise wisdom and discipline." Perhaps discipline has not always been administered in the loving, compassionate way that Jesus demonstrated toward his own "disciples", the word "discipline" coming from the same root word, involving correction out of love. Yet we should still try to appreciate the lessons needing to be learned from any discipline we may receive, and seek to grow in true wisdom. Try to appreciate correction offered by others to the extent possible, without much arguing with them. Sometimes, we really need it!
PSALM 119 STANZA 7A
The theme for all of stanza 7 is: GOD'S LAW AND WORD OF PROMISE ARE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
Verse 49: Remember your word to your servant, Through which you give me hope.
Verse 50: This is my comfort in my affliction, For your saying has preserved me alive.
Verse 51: The presumptuous utterly scorn me, But I do not deviate from your law.
Verse 52: I remember your judgments from of old, O Jehovah, And I find comfort in them.
LOOK TO THE GOD OF JUSTICE.
Psalm 119:52 The judgments of Jehovah, as recorded in His word, are written as a warning against serious wrongdoing. As 1Corinthians 10:1-11 mentions a few instances, which included such sins as idolatry, sexual immorality, putting God to the test, and murmuring against Him, it states: "Now these things became examples for us, in order for us not to desire injurious things, as they desired them...Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come." Of course, Jehovah also judged His faithful servants favorably, and protected many in various ways, saving them, such as Noah, Jonah, Jesus, and others. May we find comfort in the God of justice, looking to Him for protection more than money or any other person or thing. Those with money should likewise still be dependent on God. Proverbs 18:10 says "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection." Conversely, verse 11 states: "The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; It is like a protective wall in his imagination." This may refer to either material or spiritual wealth--may we continually look to God and not depend on ourselves or any possession for our lasting happiness.
