Daily thoughts on faith and life: 😏
- A person wants friendship but refuses to adopt the attributes of a safe person and would rather be toxic. Sorry Charlie!
- A bit of snow this morning. Rather late in the season but we're not complaining.
- Good sermon in church about Love.
- Today's proverb was actually for yesterday but I was only partly finished. Since Sunday is an off day from the Proverbs guru who sends them in email, here you go.
Proverbs 12:27: A lazy man does not roast his prey, but the precious possession of a man is diligence.
Key words/phrases: context: verses
- lazy/slothful H7423lax, idle, slack, sluggard, idle
- man
- does not
- roast H2760 cook
- prey H6718 victuals, game, food
- precious H3368 prized, valuable, splendid, rare
- possession H1952 riches, substance, wealth
- diligence H2742 strict, be alert, determined, eager
What does it say? (in my own words) - The sluggard does not cook his game. The determination of the eager is a rare and valued quality.
What does it mean? Slugs have lots of ideas, start projects but rarely finishes them. The diligent man is reliable. Here also is a picture of lazy pew potatoes. Moved by an emotional sermon, it fizzles when they get home. Start a blog to get attention and it goes nowhere while squandering their time doing little or nothing.
Study Questions:
- What projects do you need to finish?
- Are you a procrastinator?
- Are you reliable or are you a purple unicorn who cuts and runs when things get tough?
Free resources: Personal favorite: e-sword.net for free bible study software. Intothyword.org for inductive study information. Biblegateway.com is also a great resource. Tons of free resources on the internet. 😀
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...
