2 Chron 14- 16 There are stories about those who start strong yet finish last. In today’s reading, we see Asa start as a faithful king, yet he becomes unfaithful at the end of his life. We struggle with these stories because, in some ways, it is a reflection of ourselves, and we fool ourselves […]
2Chron 10 -12 Voices can be misleading, or they can lead to the truth. Take a page out of Rehoboam’s life. He is a foolish king who listened, not to the Spirit, but his “boys from the hood.” God gave him wise counselors, but he rejected their wise counsel on having a peaceful transfer of […]
Prov 31 As we close Proverbs, we come to the last chapter filled with snippets of advice of a queen mother to her son. Every mother desires their child to be wise and discerning and even more so God desires that for their children. Therefore, God purposed that Prov 31 and 2Tim 3:16 should be […]
1Kings 10-11 With Solomon on the throne, the world witnessed how God was at work in Jerusalem. God came to the new king, spoke to him, and blessed him with wealth and wisdom. The news of the new king and his blessing spread from Jerusalem to many nations until it reached the ears of the Queen […]
Eccl 7 – 12 After 12 whole chapters of pithy sayings, Solomon finally concludes that all that he has found has little of any value. Only what is done for God will pass the test of time and eternity. He poses the last question by asking us to choose what we will build on. Eccl […]
Eccl 3: The psalmist asked, “why are you downhearted?” [Ps 42:5] The “Preacher” answers that question by saying grace and peace are not in increased possessions or wealth. If you want grace and peace, believe God, take Him at His Word and trust Him in the plan He has designed for you. True wisdom is […]
Prov 27-29. What about Today or Tomorrow? Are you a planner of each new day and what you expect to complete? Listen to wisdom: Prov 27:1 “Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” This wise counsel is similar to James 4:13-16 “Come now, you who say, […]
Proverbs 26. Chapter 26 is often referred to as the “book of the fool and the book of the lazy,” sayings from Solomon but recorded by the Hezekiah’s wise men. The first half of Prov 26 refers to the fool and the other verses speak to the lazy. One often wonders what transpired in his […]
2 Chronicles 8; 1 Kings 9 Solomon had the world’s riches at his beck and call, as well as all the wisdom that God gave him. Interesting beginning, but stay tuned. Here is a man that started right but didn’t follow his advice. How often are we like that? We know the truth, we know […]
