Lord, where do we go from here? Can you give me some
orientation or a word of encouragement. I feel physically and spiritually
exhausted from all that has happened over the last few months. Speak to me.
Help me to lift up my heart and mind to you in praise and thanksgiving in spite
of the seeming uncertainties.
Jesus speaking:
Have I not said that a thousand shall fall at your side and
ten thousand at your right-hand, but it would not come high you. Only with your
eye shall you see and behold the reward of the wicked. For I have given My
angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in
their arms lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Because you have set your love upon Me, therefore I will
deliver you, I will set you on high because you have known My name and have not
withheld it but have declared it to today’s doubtful generation. Because you have
followed Me with all your heart, mind, and strength, I will be with you in
trouble. I will satisfy you and supply all your needs. You shall call upon me
and I will answer you. With long life will I satisfy you and show you My
salvation.
Rest therefore in Me, the author and finisher of your faith,
not in your own understanding or in your putting two and two together. Get down
in desperate prayer and call out to Me like the men and women of God of the
past and present have done. Throw all those burdens upon Me. My shoulders are
strong enough to carry any weight you cannot bear. But you must stop and make a
conscious effort to cast your burdens, your worries, your fears, upon Me. I
promise to sustain you.
There is no problem too big I cannot solve it. There is no mountain too high that I cannot move it. There is no river too wide that I can cross it. There is no storm too fierce that I cannot calm it. There is no sorrow too deep that I cannot sooth it. If I carry the burdens of the world upon My shoulders, I can surely carry you.
Come unto Me all you that labour and are heavy laden and I
will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and
lowly of heart and you shall find rest to your souls, for My yoke is easy and
My burden is light. In quietness and confidence shall be your strength and you
shall find rest. Wait patiently for Me and you shall see the goodness of God.
Proverbs 26
Google AI Overview
The main theme of Proverbs 26 is the nature and consequences of foolishness, laziness, and strife, offering wisdom on how to deal with fools, sluggards, and deceivers, emphasizing that honor doesn't suit a fool, gossip fuels conflict, and deceptive words hide evil intentions, with practical warnings about how to respond (or not respond) to such folly. It contrasts foolish behavior with true wisdom, highlighting that a wise person avoids these pitfalls while a fool repeats them, like a dog returning to its vomit.
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
A fool, an unbeliever, will try to get you to accept his assumptions and reason with him on his playing field void of the existence of God. We as believers must call out his illogical thinking that has no foundation for why tomorrow will be like today, and where our intelligibility comes from so that we can reason in the first place.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
At other times in answering a fool, we must temporarily enter into his worldview and manner of thinking and show him if his view were indeed correct it will lead to absurdity. Dr. Greg Bahnsen has written and spoken thoroughly on this topic.
6 He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewards the fool, and rewards transgressors.
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon his hinges, so does the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17 He that passes by, and meddles with strife belonging not to him, is like one that takes a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceives his neighbour, and says, Am not I in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
25 When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
