Reading:
Proverbs 1:1-9, 20-23;
8:33-36

Here are some questions I took away from reading today’s passage (which is the Sunday School lesson for September 6, 2009):

  1. What profit can I earn from receiving instruction?
  2. Have I become so wise that I need not listen to another’s instruction?
  3. I have knowledge; on what foundation shall I build with it?
  4. What develops beauty in my character?
  5. Is there anything that would cause me to turn from wisdom’s reproof?
  6. How may I win God’s favor?

“…I will make known my words unto you” (23).

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 1:22 -- How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?]
from Proverbs 1:22

Is it this important to me?
Reading:

John 13:31-38

What is it?

What do I do with it?

And how much do I want it?

This much…?

“Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him” (John 13:31).

Jesus was going to be betrayed and denied and abandoned.

He was going to suffer and die.

But He saw glory.

His glory and God’s glory.

“I’m half awake now, yet, somehow, that really strikes me,” I wrote at 9:41 this morning (after going to bed after 11:30 last night and getting up at 3:35 this morning to take nephew Robert Nelson to the airport).
