Today's Scripture reading is Proverbs 23 through Ecclesiastes 4. I will be only sharing from the Proverbs beginning with. Chapter 23 – “Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Day Forty Eight – Proverbs and Wisdom

Day Forty Six – City of Peace
The city of Jerusalem, near the East shore of the Mediterranean Sea, is a city which is the source of much conflict; yet its name means, “city of peace” or “teaching peace”. Yet Jerusalem has no peace. It is a source of much conflict because there are three religions which want to claim it as …

Day Thirty Eight – Hymn On Waiting
Our Scripture reading today is Psalms 15 - 28. Waiting is not a pleasant thing to do; especially in today’s fast moving world. We wait in traffic. We wait for that job interview and job that is going to put us in a higher income bracket, and maybe on “easy street”. We wait at the …
Day Thirty Seven – The Hymn Book of the Bible
First, let me clear some things up. When we speak of the “Book of Psalms” it is used in the plural. If we speak of one Psalm it is “Psalm”. Such as Psalm 1, Psalm 50, you get the idea. Psalms has no chapters, they are referred to as Psalms. There are 150 Psalms in …

The latter one …
