Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:9
Prov 8:9 [ESV] They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. I remember sitting at my dining table late one night. It would have been after midnight I think. This was many years before I got married. It was a Sunday...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:8
Prov 8:8 [ESV] All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. I remember one day when I was at the side of my bed in prayer. I was on my knees and praying, not necessarily making that great a job of it – as I struggled...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:7
Prov 8:7 [ESV] for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. I was up in the mountains in the Highlands of Scotland fishing with a good friend one day and he told me a story that shook me to the core as a young Christian. He was in...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:6
Prov 8:6 [ESV] Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right. So often when trouble comes, we want trouble to go. We focus on the trouble, and desire more than anything to be restored to a trouble free state. Yet, it is in the...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:4
Prov 8:4 To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. I told him with as much love as I could muster that he was acting like a spoiled child and that my concern was for him and his future. He stormed out of the room, shouting a range of...
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 –...
