Proverbs 4

by Evie on December 4, 2008

December 4th – another new day and another new (ok really old – but new to me :-)   ) Proverb.  Same exercise as the past three days – My comments in italics … if I am really making a point it’s be bold.

And with that it’s on with Proverb #4 …

1 – Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 – For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 – For I was my father’s son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.
4 – He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 – Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 – Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 – Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Do not seek knowledge to know something, seek knowledge to truly understand … this is wisdom.  Is “she” wisdom here?

8 – Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 – She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

“An ornament of grace, a crown of glory” is this enlightenment?  Those who have the yellow halo about their heads – enlightenment … if so, we are ALL supposed to have them … YAY!  Let’s get busy if yours is missing :-)

10 – Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 – I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 – When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 – Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; for she [is] thy life.
14 – Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil [men].
15 – Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

Do not put ones self in a situation where *evil* can have it’s way with you … is it possible to *be* in any situation, but truly still *be* safe and sound?  Why or why not?

16 – For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.

I’ve always been a firm believer that the way to success is to help others to success.  There IS enough … the more one has to give, the more they should give … the secret to world enlightenment FAST … Pay it Forward.  There is no question … what’s in it for me?  No thing … it;s so very much more powerful than a thing …

When Paying it Forward one doesn’t even need to owe any one any thing.  When one begins to pay it forward the universe takes notice … our vibration begins to raise … once it hits it’s set point … BOO YAH … whoop there we go … :-)   :-)   :-)   we the people (every single one of us, every where in the world) we the people can make it happen.

17 – For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 – But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Many in the *new age* (LOL!!!!) thought call what they are called to do, what they are, what they are here for … whatever … many *new age* thinkers consider them selves lightworkers. 

19 – The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
20 – My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 – Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 – For they [are] life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 – Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.

I have always been empathic, as early as I remember, I remember being able to “feel” how another felt … growing up I was told over and over *do not wear your heart on your shirtsleeve* … but when ones mode of decsion making is ones heart — Keep thy heart with all dilligence, for out of it ARE the issues of life.

24 – Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 – Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 – Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 – Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

The right hand holds all of the days of our lives and the left hand hold wealth and riches … so do not go down an evil path for longer life or for riches.

hmmm … today’s lesson was very quick … now is that a good thing or a bad one?  We shall see over the ensuing days, weeks, months and if needed – years down the road … :-)

HAPPY 4th of DECEMBER!!!
