"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 July 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: Proverbs 9:1 "Wisdom has built her house. She has hewn out her seven pillars."
In 9:1, we see the final contrast between wisdom and folly. Each hold a banquet, one for life in verses 1-6 and one for death in verses 13-18. Between the banquet descriptions, is a section in verses 7-12, that speaks of the consequences of the life of wisdom and the plight of folly. Verse 1, as in 1:20, denotes wisdom is in the intensive plural rather than the singular. It calls attention to itself.
Seven pillars represents completeness, as it often does in Semitic poetry. That is, it is not that there were more precisely seven pillars so as much as that the house of a wisdom was solidly built and of substantial character.
The Wisdom of God, is used in three senses in the Scripture. First, it refers to the higher prospectively by which God understands things that man in incapable of understanding, 1st Corinthians 1:25. Second, it can refer to the understanding which a Christian should have in life, Proverbs 4:7. Third, wisdom is seen as a type of Christ, who is our wisdom, 1st Corinthians 1:30.
When David said that Abner died as a fool in, 2nd Samuel 3:33, he meant that Abner died because he had followed his own intuition, rather than the wisdom of God, which would have saved him. He was killed as he turned aside in the gate of Hebron. Had he entered the "City of Refuge" as God had instructed, Joab would have been unable to kill him.
When we fail to follow where the Holy Spirit guides us, our Heavenly Father will discipline us, just as our earthly father does, and we will learn that wise Christians, will obey the Wisdom of God.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, and financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
