Able

The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.

Proverbs 30:26

Reading:

Proverbs 30:15-33

That’s the title and text for the coming Sunday School lesson.

I awoke with a smashing headache, so I’m not straining my brain much. Though I don’t know how this verse connects to the lesson title, it stands out to me:

“If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth” (Proverbs 30:32).

I need more humility.

And more pure and noble thoughts.

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 30:32 -- If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself...lay thine hand upon thy mouth]
from Proverbs 30:32

Built. To.

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5

Reading:

1 Peter 2:1-10

“Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings” (1 Peter 2:1).

All. Of. It.

Don’t hang on to it.

Let it go.

Drop it…and get out of there.

It sounds so easy.

I don’t think some of those trouble me. And I’m glad.

But malice and envy can ensnare me so quickly at times.

They’ve all got to go.

Otherwise, how shall I…

“…desire the sincere milk of the word…” (1 Peter 2:2)?

“…offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God…” (1 Peter 2:5)?

“…shew forth the praises of him…” (1 Peter 2:9)?
