Proverbs 8:33


Strange things church people say:  

  • God can be any gender.  OK, show me in the Bible where it supports this claim? (It's not there.)

Proverbs 8:33  “Heed instruction and be wise, And do not neglect it.  Context:  see Prov 8:32-36.

Key words/phrases:
  1. heed/hear/listen - H8085, hear intelligently, discern
  2. instruction - H4148, discipline, chastening, correction, reproof, warning
  3. wise - H2449, show wisdom
  4. neglect/refuse/slight/ignore - H6544, disregard, avoid, dismiss

What does it say/mean?  It means some of you are in deep trouble because you refuse to read and heed the scriptures.

Application:  if you're lukewarm, it's time to change.  Proverbs has a way of telling you the blessing.  If you listen, then life, happiness, and divine favor.  Personal loss if you blow it off.  The choice is yours.  Get on a reading plan.  Download e-sword software at e-sword.net.  Dig in.  Mine for treasure.  😇
