Today
RIAY Day 127 Reunion into Heaven
Read Proverbs 18 and memorize the verse that speaks to you… I chose these to ponder today
1 One who is alienated seeks a pretext,
with all persistence picks a quarrel.
2 Fools take no delight in understanding,
but only in displaying what they think.
3 With wickedness comes contempt,
and with disgrace, scorn.
alienated = experiencing or inducing feelings of isolation or estrangement
isolation = the condition of being alone, especially when it makes you feel unhappy
estrangement = the fact of no longer being on friendly terms or part of a social group
pretext = false reason or excuse
persistence = firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition
understanding = having insight or good judgement (sympathetically aware of other people’s feelings; tolerant and forgiving)
displaying = make a prominent exhibition of (something) in a place where it can be easily seen
contempt = a strong feeling of disliking and having no respect for someone or something
disgrace = loss of reputation or respect as the result of a dishonorable action, bring shame or discredit on, fall from favor or lose a position of power or honor
scorn = the feeling or belief that someone or something is worthless or despicable
I don’t know about you, but I like to break things down when I read scripture, checking word meaning to get a fuller understanding. Then I think about how these verses pertain to how I approach things. Which then takes me to the next step.
Know you are prayed for.
