February 27, 2018- Tuesday-#631- Daily Morning Bible Reading and Meditation-Proverbs 24 KJV
*** For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.***
[3] Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
[4] And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
[5] A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
[7] Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
[9] The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
[10] If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
[11] If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
[15] Lay not wait, O wicked man , against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
[16] For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
[17] Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
[18] Lest the Lord see it , and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Thoughts to ponder for today:
For A Just Man Falleth Seven Times, And Riseth Up Again:
A Just Man falls.
The Bible is clear that those who obey the words of The LORD are counted for their righteousness; they are the just, who are justified by The LORD.
It started when one made the right choice of taking The LORD at His words. Then is wisdom builded the house; a progressive development, which henceforth by understanding, established it; that through knowledge, had filled it with precious and pleasant riches.
[3] Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
[4] And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
This is the Just man’s way of life; he is counted wise, and through his knowledge, strengthen himself.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. There are rough and stormy days. There is this opponents in the divers persons, even enemies whose desires is to knock him down. It comes in different forms such as:
Temptations- vices, lustful desires and greed
Testings - honesty, integrity and dignity are at risk the moment he gave in to temptation; there is a decision to make: whether to realize his sinful condition, repent from his sin, and receive GOD’s forgiveness, after sorrowfully asking for it, or proudly continue sinning and suffered more grievously, before getting back on his feet and change his way of thinking, his emotion. and will to ask forgiveness from his Creator.
Trials- it is given in the form of hardship: emotionally, physically ,mentally, even spiritually. Most of the trials comes to try one’s stability. This is GOD sent, not the enemy; does not a by product of sinning. It is given to tempered one’s faith.
The just man is prone to failure. He may yield, he may concede, he is subjected to be overthrown and knock down by these T’s of life.
Nevertheless, all are commanded: the righteous and the wicked, even evil men; not to lay up mischief upon the just man: because it is accounted and testified:
[16] For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
And for the Just:
1] Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
[2] For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
Set mind to be wise.
Set heart for understanding.
Set to work for knowledge, that faith should be strengthen and stablished.
Be blessed ever!
Proverbs 24:1-34 KJV
[1] Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. [2] For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. [3] Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: [4] And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. [5] A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. [6] For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. [7] Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. [8] He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. [9] The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. [10] If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. [11] If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; [12] If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? [13] My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [14] So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it , then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. [15] Lay not wait, O wicked man , against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: [16] For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. [17] Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: [18] Lest the Lord see it , and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. [19] Fret not thyself because of evil men , neither be thou envious at the wicked; [20] For there shall be no reward to the evil man ; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. [21] My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: [22] For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? [23] These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. [24] He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: [25] But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. [26] Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer. [27] Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. [28] Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. [29] Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work. [30] I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; [31] And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. [32] Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. [33] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: [34] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed …
