Reading:
Proverbs 29:10-18

“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame” (15).

“Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul” (17).

Do it justly.

Do it prayerfully.

Do it sadly.

Do it carefully.

Do it lovingly.

Do it firmly.

Do it consistently.

Do it calmly.

Do it painfully.

Do it redemptively.

Do it patiently.

[Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18)]

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)]
