Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:3
Prov 8:3 [ESV] beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: Have you ever disregarded a voice that you should have listened to. I think on my journey of recognising God's voice to me, I have often recognised it in...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:2
Prov 8:2 [ESV] On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand. I have had such a wide range of bosses over the years. Ones who threw the phone across the room, ones who screamed in my face in front of the whole staff, ones who spoke...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:1
Prov 8:1 [ESV] Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? One of the greatest and ongoing lessons of my life is learning to listen to my wife. But not just to listen, but to hear her with an attitude of willingness to change, to accept her...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:27
Prov 7:27 [ESV] Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chamber of death. I was thirteen and was with my social worker. He had been playing rugby, and had invited me along to watch him play. It was a nice spring day, so I stood on the sidelines and...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:26
Prov 7:26 [ESV] for many a victim has she laid low, all her slain are a mighty throng. I know this is a silly example, but for me temptation is in the pantry at 9pm when I am binge watching a great series on a streaming service. I have had a fantastic day –...

Prov 7:25 [ESV] Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths. As a young man I was usually careful with my money, and understood the connection between long hard hours and having resources. Until one day a "friend" invited me to go...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:24
Prov 7:24 [ESV] And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. Often it’s the almost unheard whisper. It's like you know that something is not really a great choice, and you have that very slight sense of disquiet. In the rush, or...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:23
Prov 7:23 [ESV] till an arrow pierces his liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. I rushed in to taking a job offer once, even as people around me (that I trusted) took time to ask me if I had really considered...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:22
Prov 7:22 [ESV] All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast As a young man I had a great group of friends, and we loved hanging out together. We went for walks, set up rope swings, stayed up late, ate too many hot...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 7:21
Prov 7:21 [ESV] With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. The Mudwalker I have this one ability, not sure that it would really ever qualify as a skill. I can walk fairly slowly through very muddy places for a long...
