Seek and You Will Find

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will heContinue reading “Seek and You Will Find”

Considering Proverbs 11:22

As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. An article of golden jewelry is beautiful until it is placed in the snout of a pig. It is the same with a beautiful woman who lacks sound judgment. This is an interesting proverb. I wonder ifContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:22”

Don’t Cast Your Pearls Before Swine

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. – Matthew 7:6 Jesus made this statement after those He made concerning judgment. It seems connected. If the judgements that we make are correct and ofContinue reading “Don’t Cast Your Pearls Before Swine”

Judge Not that Ye Be Not Judged (Part 3) – Reward Her Even as She Rewarded You

Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or howContinue reading “Judge Not that Ye Be Not Judged (Part 3) – Reward Her Even as She Rewarded You”

Considering Proverbs 11:20

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. There’s that word again. Froward. What does Froward mean? According to what I have read, “froward” means a few things. Some of the descriptions I have read include things like, profane, perverse, someoneContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:20”

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged (Part 1) – What is Judgment?

Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or howContinue reading “Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged (Part 1) – What is Judgment?”

Considering Proverbs 11:19

19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. When considering ideas that deal with the “wicked” and the “righteous,” it’s good to remember the perfect righteousness of Jesus as a standard that we all fall short of. We are all unrighteous in some measure, and sometimes weContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:19”

Take no Thought for Your Life. Sufficient to the Day is the Evil Thereof.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do theyContinue reading “Take no Thought for Your Life. Sufficient to the Day is the Evil Thereof.”

These Things Saith He – Overcoming Thyatira

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him theContinue reading “These Things Saith He – Overcoming Thyatira”
