Dear Colleagues, I've had the occasion to tarry in my journey of late over three passages of Scripture discussed in our recent House Church worship service this Sunday after Easter here in Denver. Would appreciate any ruminations you care to add to this reflective stew. I admit and give fair warning I have not been taken up into the wisdom of Proverbs over the years as I have with the Psalms. Yet I think there are nuggets of wisdom to be mined for reflection in our meditative study of the Bible. ........................................................................ The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.- Proverbs 10:7 A faithful one will abound with blessings, but s/he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished. - Proverbs 28:20 ...and the base (insignificant or lowly) things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are...- I Corinthians1:28 And two tangential messages on the pages reviewed that captured my attention: Happy are those who are always reverent, but those who harden their hearts will fall into calamity.- Proverbs 28:19 ...as it is written, "Let all who glory, glory in the LORD.I Corinthians 1:31 Your thoughts? G&P, Dawn Collins We love the Creator/Source because the Source/Creator loved us first.- 1 John 4:`19
To me, these are just observations of the way life is, the first step in the scientific method. Love and blessings, Jann McGuire On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 6:32 PM, Dawn Collins via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Jann, I agree that these are indicative statements, not judgement ones. But they are written from the perspective of a person of Faith, one who is awake. Jack

Thanks, Jack for your wisdom. Just fairly recently I've come to the realization that the whole Bible (and not just the New Testament) was like an open book exam or "how to manual" of and for life, or a divine message from the ontological deeps to sustain and bolster one's faith journey.

The Bible has rich messages that the lowly and meek will be lifted up and the proud brought low. We should choose what is of great value and not be confused by those things that promise worth but do not sustain us.

Thank you, Herman, for your thoughts. I've often wondered why those at the top of the pyramid including the fundamentalist wealthy church leadership skip over 1 Timothy 6:17-19. There's both an admonishment and an edification of hope to be found in those verses, ya' think?

...And the foolish forsake faithfulness for the glitter of fool's gold or any shiny object when given the choice...Even so, the choices are yet many I think.
