Reading:
Proverbs 27:14-27

Late last night I decided it is necessary for me to scale back and refocus my footprint on the Web.

Here are some of the particulars of that decision:

  • Cease from posting at Bless! as I have been.
  • Cut back posting at Ain’t Complicated to once a week.
  • After getting through Proverbs this time, stop posting here at Panting Hart (unless it’s to post my “inspirational” images for computer wallpaper and screensavers).
  • Stop being a regular visitor and/or contributor to some blogs.
  • Resume development of Anabaptists.

Like I indicate in the title, this is a difficult decision which will be difficult for me to implement.

However, in my reading this morning, these two verses confirm my decision for me:

“Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds” (23).

“For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?” (24).

The state of my flocks is not good.

[He that waiteth on his master shall be honoured (Proverbs 27:18)]

Reading:
Proverbs 27:1-13

As I started into this chapter, verse two was my choice for today. But the further I read into this first half, the more verses and fragments vied to be that choice. Here you have five of them!

“Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth…” (2).

“Open rebuke is better than secret love” (5).

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend” (6).

“…To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet” (7).

“Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not…” (10).

And what’s the dosage for these vitamins?

You figure it out!
