Prayer Challenge Day 10

May 10, 2020 By Rob Cleeton Leave a Comment

May 10 My Thoughts on Proverbs Beginning with Chapter 10 there is a change in how Solomon presents his thoughts. Here he delivers a collection of independent and miscellaneous maxims that deal with the consequences of right and wrong action. They are in no particular order and cover a wide range of topics. Here I… Read More »

May 9 My Thoughts on Proverbs 9: Today a couple of verses really jumped out at me. Verse 1: Wisdom has built her house; she has carved its seven columns.

May 8 My Thoughts of Proverbs 8: To me it is verse 11 that jumps out.  Verse 11: For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.  Nothing you desire can compare with it. A.P.

May 6 My Thoughts on Proverbs 6: Two ideas emerge from Proverbs 6; the foolishness of laziness (v. 6-11) and the ways of the wicked (v. 12-19). While laziness and wickedness are different they are usually related. Observation of the ant offers a vivid contrast to laziness, so I’d like to look at little closer… Read More »

My Thoughts on Proverbs 5: A couple of ideas arise for the reading of Proverbs 5. First, I’ve been using the New Living Translation to do these readings, most of the time I use the New King James Version.  The phrase in verse 2 show discernment stood out to me. So I took a look… Read More »

My Thoughts of Proverbs 4: For much of the 4th Chapter of Proverbs, Solomon talks of wisdom and judgement. But, for me it was verse 23 that spoke to my heart today: Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. The word guard in Hebrew is a military term and… Read More »

May 3 My thoughts on Proverbs 3: Once again Solomon provides a wealth of wisdom in this chapter. But, what stands out to me are verses 5 &6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.… Read More »

For me, today, the last two verses stand out: 21For only the godly will live in the land and those with integrity will remain in it. 22 But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted. Both… Read More »

May 1, 2020 My thoughts on Proverbs 1: Verses 8 & 9, really speak to my heart today. Here’s the way the New Living Translation Bible records them: 8My child, listen when your father corrects you.  Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. 9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor… Read More »
