“Every word of God is tested; He
is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a
liar.
“Two things I asked of You, do not
refuse me before I die: keep deception
and lies far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food
that is my portion, that I not be full and deny You and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or that I not be in want and steal, and
profane the name of my God.
“Do not slander a slave to his
master or he will curse you and you will be found guilty. Do not slander a slave to his master, or he
will curse you and you will be found guilty.
There is a kind of man who curses his father and does not bless his
mother.
“There is a kind who is pure in
his own eyes, yet is not washed from his filthiness. There is a kind – oh how lofty are his
eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance. There is a kind of man whose teeth are like
swords and his jaw teeth like knives, to devour [consume] the afflicted from the earth and the needy from
among men.” Proverbs 30:5-14
When I read the underlined verses
of this Proverb the first time it surprised me.
It became a favourite memory verse. Like the fairy tale of Goldilocks with finding what is just right. The Lord knows there is no greater satisfaction
than knowing who He is in our lives!
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still
prays for you each morning. Darlene
