An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

A Word to the Wife

(Pro 19:2 KJV)  Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

As I began reading Proverbs 19, I came across this verse early this morning.  What it reminded me of is how my wife is often telling me to hurry up.  She thinks I move too slow.  What has been my pattern of life is getting more so as I get older.  She on the other hand, tends to get quicker and faster.

I need to remember to quote this verse.  Of course I will do it in the finest traditions of proof texting.  I will leave out the first half of the verse and just tell her that I don’t want my feet to sin.

So?  You be the judge of how fast you should move.  I’m sure that some of us need to slow down and some need to speed up.  And then again, some of us need to do both depending on the circumstances.  I’m sure you can work that out if you think about it.
