Proverbs 2

by Evie on December 2, 2008

December 2nd 2008 Tuesday … my belief is truly … god, the lord, our higher power, the universe … has, have, had, and will never have “a religion” … *religion is an institution for humans to put their beliefs into a box they can liken to others … hmmm … of like mind?  Pondering this thought.

1 – My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

I’m assuming daughter as well :-)   and yes to receiving, but why must one hide these?  Are these part of the *secret* that is truly no secret?  Or is it to walk the talk that is taught, so others learn by ones life not by one’s speech … ? hmmm thoughts to ponder.

2 – So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding;
3 – Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 – If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;

This is kind of like the tests in school. 

1) read all activities before completing any (or something like that)

2) through the number before last – a whole bunch of stuff to do.

#last) do none of the above, write name here and turn in. 

OK – I understand, read the entire day’s chapter before commenting … cheese and rice …

5 – Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

… give a man a fish, feed him one day … teach one to fish, feed them a lifetime …

6 – For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.

Becuase the *lord does not have a physical mouth, but we are in *his* likeness, does that not mean – WE are (or are supposed to be) to be the(?) a(?) vehicle for others to learn andcome to understand … ?

7 – He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 – He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 – Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea], every good path.
10 – When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 – Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Discretion … transparency  … understanding …

12 – To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 – Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 – Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 – Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths:

IF what one does, done, will do … is, has been, will be … on the front page of every newspaper and covered breaking minute by breaking *This JUST In* moment on CNN and all local channels … would you still do what one thinks to do? 

16 – To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
17 – Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 – For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 – None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 – That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep the paths of the righteous.

Not sure where this is going … but OK :-)   thinking about the fact though that women have been so subjugated over the centuries only gods, goddesses, higher powers, universal pooh-bah, wondrous prophets and teachers know … where was I going?  … ah – yes … {{{ quiet grasshopper – listen with more than what the eyes see – listen with the intent the original words were meant }}} …

21 – For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

There is no such thing as perfect, but there is the realm of striving to be the best one can be … and the competition is ones current self :-)   What an AWESOME Opponent / Partner (-:

22 – But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Go green or die?  We only have our one earth (any one seen Wall-E?  Great Movie)  Today I Do … what?

Me – today I do housework, update websites, twitter a bit, do some old fashioned marketing (-: I have a GREAT domain name with awesome marketing potential – even *Btand-Ability* – I think any way … but then again we are talking about Evie the domain-aholic … check out Domainager.com   ;-)  … and what else?  Post this blog – yes.  Start the Fat2Fitness program (mine :-)   and much more …
