Proverbs


I'm a pathetic human being
Full of sin and foolish dreams
My eyes burn with a wicked flame
Burning for things that are profane

I ignore Wisdom as she calls out
Her advice I have reason to doubt
Yet there she is in front of the town
At the crossroads she cries aloud

"I, Wisdom, live with good judgment
I uncover knowledge and discernment
I hate arrogance and perverse speech
Good sense and success belong to me

 "Before everything I was born
Before the mountains were even formed
I was there when God formed the heavens
When He divided all the oceans

 "When God set the limits of the seas
They couldn't go past their boundaries
I was the architect at His side
I was His never-ending delight

 "All who hate me love death instead
But that is not what God intended
Find me to find life and the Lord's favor
There is nothing on earth that is more safer

 "So don't ignore all of my sayings
Richness is all that I am conveying
Burn for things with holy desire
That is what I want to inspire"

I stop for a minute and then think
Is Wisdom and God really in sync?
Am I going towards my demise?
Did I live a life of compromise?

I find myself listening to her
Her words alone I tend to prefer
"Come eat my food, drink what I mixed
Leave your simple ways behind and live

 "Search for me as you would for silver
For I am like some hidden treasure
Then understand, the Lord you must fear
Cause knowledge is what the Lord will share

 "Above a lot of things, guard your heart
Cause that is where sin usually starts
Humble yourself, pride should be released
Listen to me and you will find peace"

 I thought I should be professional
Success to me institutional
But Wisdom says that's not what she meant
When she told me to seek out good judgment

"I can give you a hope-filled future
Lasting happiness can be ensured
Joy from this world is just so fleeting
Incomplete and so unsatisfying

 "Come to Jesus and find your rest
May all your sins you then confess
Forgiveness found within His death
Come to Jesus and then be blessed"

All of Wisdom's words I will listen
I have made my final decision
My foolish ways I will imprison
To Christ alone my deep submission

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
