Thursday... Oh, it is so very good for us.


Proverbs 24:13 (NLT), "My child, eat honey, for it is so good., and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste."

Thursday... Oh, it is so very good for us.

Now honey is a natural sweetness. And it says here that it is good for us. But our problem is that we like to eat substitutes that aren't good for us and we eat them to extreme. 


Now the writer here goes on. In verse 14 he writes, "In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short."  

The Amplified Bible says this verse this way, "Know that  [skillful and godly] wisdom is [so very good] for your life and soul; If you find wisdom, then there will be a future and a reward, and your hope and expectation will not be cut off."

Now this is important to know. James 1:5 (NIRV) says, "If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn't find fault." 

Now there is a finding process here just like honey. There is definitely a process in finding honey. God created bees to give us something that is good and enjoyable for us but we must look for a honeycomb created by bees to get it. And verse 13b-14a in the NIRV says, "Honey from a honeycomb has a sweet taste. I want you to know that wisdom is like honey for you. If you find it, there is hope for your tomorrow."

Look at these verse here in this chapter. Verse 3 (AMP) says, "Through [skillful and godly] wisdom a house [a life, a home, a family] is built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation.]

Verse 5 (NLT), "The wise are mightier than the strong, and with knowledge grow stronger and stronger."

Verse 7, "Wisdom is too lofty for fools. Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say."

And then back to Proverbs 1:1-4, "These are proverbs of Solomon, David's son, king of Israel. Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand insights of the wise. Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined lives and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just and fair. These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young." and verse 5, "Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become wiser."

So let's ask, look for, and find because it is so very good for us! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
