January 5, 2009 Proverbs 5

Warning against adultery.

I have always heard that if you think you are safe in your relationship then you probably arent. The worst thing you can say is it can never happen to me. To make sure that adultery or other things never happen to you is to be open to the fact that something could happen and you take precautions against it.

I had before I got married had it in my mind that I would not go to lunch with another man that was not a relative. Even if it was business. I would either have my husband there or a female coworker. Some people think that is going overboard, I would rather go overboard and do everything that I can to keep my marriage safe instead of thinking it could never happen to me and neglect the gift that God has given me and that is a loving husband and a great marriage.

Genisis 1

I am going to try something that came to mind. We will see how it works.

I am going to read the 1rst chapter of each book of the Bible and then move on to the second chapter and the third and so on.... You get the idea.

So Here we go.......

In verse two the earth was with out form and void and it was dark. The spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. Maybe light was created first because darkness and God can not be in the same spot at the same time.

Day one: Day and night were created. Separation of the dark and the light.

Day two: God separated the waters into Heaven (or sky) and the waters under the expanse (what will eventually turn into the oceans or the seas and lakes). The whole earth was covered with water. No dry land appeared at this day.

Day three: God pulled all of the water together and called them seas, and the dry land appeared. God saw that it was good. After the earth was separated from the water God spoke into being vegetation, plants, and fruit trees. God saw that it was good.

Day four: Lights were put in the heavens to separate the day from then night. The lights were used for signs and seasons, and for days and years. (people could use this verse to validate astrology.... I would have to say the signs are different signs than astrology). God created a greater light (sun) and a lesser light (moon).

Day five: Creation of living creatures in the water, birds,

Day six: creation of livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth, according to their kind. Creation of "men" and men were given dominion over the fish, and the birds, and the livestock and every creeping thing on the earth. (This creation of man was before Adam and Eve in the garden. God told them to be fruitful and multiply. God created people to occupy the earth before he placed any one specifically to tend the garden. God Created Adam and Eve after the seventh day of rest. How cool is that). All the people and animals were given every green thing for food. Everything was very good on that day.

January 4, 2009 Proverbs 4

I can not believe it is 2009. Where did the year go. 2009 will be better than 2008. We start out the year with a lay off and a back surgery. During the middle of the year we will have a graduation (AG will graduate from high school). After Thanksgiving we will have another graduation to celebrate. I will graduate from college. I am so looking forward to that. So much to look forward to. I can't wait.

Proverbs 4


vs 26 and 27. "Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil."

This is great just because it is nice to know that we were instructed to stay to the path and our ways will be sure. It is sometimes so hard to turn your "foot" away from evil. Sometimes, evil is just inviting.

Gotta love things to work on.

December 30, 2008 Proverbs 30

vs 4. This totaly describes Jesus (God). It is so awesome to see sections of scripture that are totally about Jesus way before He came to earth as a human.

December 29, 2008 Proverbs 29

vs 17 You know we have disciplined our son and he does not give us rest. Maybe this verse means later on in life.

vs 23 Great verse to remember. Sometimes it is hard to forget that pride is something that we all should have but it should not rule over us. "One's pride brings him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor." Oh to obtain honor.

December 28, 2008 Proverbs 28

vs 14. the first part of this verse is great. A wonderful promise to hold to. But also the second part is a great warning to us as well.

vs 26 I would love to walk in wisdom. I know there is a way and God will lead.

December 27, 2008 Proverbs 27

vs 1 We should all remember to only look for today we are not guaranteed anything else.
