"My Proverb"

Tonight as i sat with my daughter in my arms, i was stroking her hair and reading her the bible. Today i read her Proverbs 24 and it touch me in a way that no other scriptures ever have. I think its because I'm going through a lot at this moment in my life. But i continue not to stray away from the understanding of how God speaks to me. Everything i have read in proverbs, seems to explain more and more to me that i didn't see before hand. The first verse spoke directly to me. It goes as such:

1. Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them:

2. For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

I have found myself attempting to become attached to a thought or an emotion that doesn't exist in my world anymore. Its easy for me to see what is reachable but for me to grasp it, doesn't entirely depends on my effort. That scripture spoke of not being jealous or wanting what a evil person possess, or even wanting to be with or around them. Sometimes you get so lost, until its not you anymore. I became a person that i didn't even know, i became a shell. Verse 2 spoke of the heart. That was the first thing that i felt get pierced. When an emotion is so deep that it becomes reality, the heart is a dangerous thing to reveal. Especially to a thing or person that "studieth destruction" or "talk or mischief". I thank God for the clarity and for the mind to seek his face and understand him and all he has left behind for me to study. I may not be as out going, most adventurous or even as spontaneous, but i am still here and God has kept me through the toughest times. I'm going to write through the 10th verse but i urge you to read the entire chapter...this has been a revelation to me and may open your eyes as well.

3. Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is saftey.

7. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischieveous person.

9. The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

10. If thou faint in the day of adversity, the strength is small.

I hope that this proverb help someone. I never have posted anything like this before but everything is done for a reason. God opened my eyes with this and maybe someone else needs to read this to become understanding of what we should be or should be doing.

Salute!
