Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:14
Prov 8:14 [ESV] I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. What a testimony to be able to speak out with confidence. When I read this and stop for a while to consider these words then I hear such a prophetic edge to the words that...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:13
Prov 8:13 [ESV] The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. In my life I have known fear – fear of violent people, fear of extreme heights, fear of very tight enclosed spaces. All these fears...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:12
Prov 8:12 [ESV] I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. I remember one of the first games of football I played when I lived in the Highlands. It was a local team that played in the local league and travelled up to 100km each...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:11
Prov 8:11 [ESV] for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. When we moved into our first Australian house in Sydney we soon discovered that we did not have anywhere to hang out our laundry to dry. Now, for certain,...
Wisdom and Strengths – Proverbs 8:10
Prov 8:10 [ESV] Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold. I get up most mornings at between 4.30 and 5.30am, and start my routine. A litre of cold water with fresh lemon juice for my body. A time of prayer for my focus on...
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...
