Proverbs 4:15



Daily musings, gripes, etc.  (limit 3-5)  😏
  1. Daylilies come in all variety of different shapes and colors.  Visit the NDSU perennial gardens off 12th Ave N in Fargo ND.
  2. People will always show their true colors.  Be patient.  Wait for it.  

Proverbs 4:15 - avoid it, do not pass by it; turn away from it and pass on.

Key words/phrases: context - your Bible will usually have an outline.  Remember the book, chapter, verse divisions were not in the original.  My NASB shows a bold 10 and another bold 20.  That tells me the context is verse 10-19.  Your favorite commentary in e-sword will also have it but may vary.
  • avoid H6544 - refuse, let go, ignore, refrain, dismiss
  • do not pass by it H5674 - 
  • turn away H7847 - deviate, decline, go aside
  • pass on H5674

What does it say (in my own words)?   

What does it mean?  Steps to avoid sin.  

Study Questions:  
  1. Are your friends solid Christians?
  2. If everyone is doing it, it must be ok?  True or False...
  3. Do you surround yourself with wise, biblically literate people?
  4. Have you truly examined yourself?  2 Cor 13:5
Personal application:  Choose your friends wisely or they will corrupt you and tempt you to wordly sin.  Flee!  Reject!  Throw them under the bus.  Friendship with the world = enemies with God!  Do not be a companion of fools Prov 13:20.....Blessings on your day.  😇

Disclaimer:  I get one Proverb verse in email each day (except Sunday) so these are not selected by me.  I try to stick to the list.  I also don't blog daily.  Just when I've time.

Daily thoughts on faith and life:  😏 A person wants friendship but refuses to adopt the attributes of a safe person and would rather be tox...
