Proverbs 4:1-13

Proverbs is a book of the Bible that teaches us understanding and discernment. Proverbs 4: 1-13, teaches us like God is teaching his children. This verse teaches about how a son was taught how to be wise by his father. It says “When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands and live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.” It is teaching us that it is important to learn more and encourages us to learn more about God’s ways. Verses 10-13 is telling us that we should keep the commandment and lessons we learned from God, and use them in our day-to-day lives. We must never forget what we have learned and always remember, even in our difficult times.
 

  1. Proverbs 4 is a lesson from Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon is writing these scriptures to his kids, and reminding them of what his father had taught him to always seek God, and always try to learn more about the holy one. Solomon was a man of great wisdom and is the wisest man who ever lived. Solomon is teaching his kids to learn more about God, and also use it, without ever forgetting it
  2. In our day-to-day lives, we go through struggles and problems, and during those times it is easy to give up and lose hope. But throughout all our struggles and trials we must remember what we have learned from God, to always put our trust in him, and to always move on with prayer, and giving thanks.
 

 

Prayer
Lord, Heavenly Father, thank you for the beautiful world you have created and the life and possibilities of it. Lord help us not to forget your word, and help us to continually use it in our day-to-day life. Help us throughout the challenges we may face throughout the day, and allow us to have inheritance in the kingdom of God. Amen.

 Thought for the Day

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a
