DO WE LIVE IN GODS WAYS FOR US AS CHRISTIANS?

PROVERBS 30:15-31

15“ The leech has two daughters. Give! Give!’ they cry. “ There are three things that are never satisfied, Four that never say,6the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water,and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’ 17“ The eye that mocks a father, that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures, 18“ There the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman. 20“ This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mout and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’ 21“ Under three things the earth trembles under four it cannot bear up: 22a servant who becomes king,a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,23 contemptible woman who gets married,and a servant who displaces her mistress.24“ Four things on earth are small,yet they are extremely wise: 25Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; 26hyraxese are creatures of little power,yet they make their home in the crazy 27locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; 28a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces. 29“ There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing: 30a lion, mighty among beasts,   who retreats before nothing; 31a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt. 32“ If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth! 33For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Tyndale. NIV Life Application Study Bible


30: 15-31  “ Three things  .  .  . four” is a poetic way of saying the list is not complete. The writer of these proverbs is observing the world with delighted interest. This passage invites us to look at nature from the perspective of a keen observer, always curious to discover lessons for life.


In our world today do we live like GOD intends us to? ON THE WAY HOME WALK WITH JESUSand mske sure that we are living in GODS WAYS AND STAND UP FOR OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM THAT PROTECT US FROM THE WAYS THE WORLD IS USING TO TAKE US OUT SO THEY CAN TAKE GOD OUT OF EVERYTHING AND THEY CAN HAVE THEIR WAY WITHOUT US WHO OPPOSE THEIR SINFUL PRACTICES.onthewayhomeministries.org by RICHARD DEAN BROOKS
