Sayings of Agur


I am the most ignorant of men;
I do not have a man’s understanding.
I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.
Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands?
Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and the name of his son?
Tell me if you know!
Proverbs 30:2-4
Isn't it interesting that one who claims to be the "most ignorant of men" has an inclination toward the Son of God?
How is it, then, that we today, who claim to be so educated and intelligent, are so inwardly focused that we can't even mention that there IS a God,
let alone a Son of God?
His Name is Wonderful!
The Name of the Lord is a strong and mighty tower;
the righteous run into it and are safe.
His Son is none other than Jesus Christ.
I am blessed to know, though I am also ignorant among men.
May the Lord bless you with His protection and grace!

PROVOKED??


Stone is heavy and sand a burden,
but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
Proverbs 27:3
Sometimes it is much better to just keep your mouth shut and move on.
Why do I find this hard? Pride.
I need to set him straight...I need to be "right."
I really need to remember that other Proverb...
"A wise man keeps himself ynder control." 29:11
and that other Proverb...
"When words are many, sin is not absent,
but he who holds his tongue is wise." 10:19
May the Lord bless you today and make your tongue wise!
