“It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.” Proverbs 3:8 As we saw yesterday, trusting in God requires us to give up our own ideas. Giving up our will to fulfill God’s will is, in fact, a definition of obedience. Very often, obedience is invisible to others, but that does not […]
Her ways wander, and she does not know it. — Proverbs 5:6 To attract young women, traffickers promise them a better life than in their small, poverty-stricken villages. They make them dream of new horizons. They never say: “We’re going to take your money, your dignity, and your body.” They hide their sickening goals behind […]
“Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house.“ Proverbs 5:8 There are places where we simply shouldn’t be. One day, someone pointed out to me that Eve was standing near the tree with the forbidden fruit. I had never thought of that before. Indeed, what was she […]
“For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a crust of bread, and an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.” Proverbs 6:26 There are several interpretations of this verse. Some say it refers to the different consequences concerning these two women, suggesting that there are not many consequences with the prostitute […]
“To call out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.“ — Proverbs 9:15 When faced with a choice, some people who were once walking on the right path with God opt for what seems best to them—”where they can gain the most”—regardless of the consequences for the rest of their lives. […]
“No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.“ — Proverbs 12:21 This is what I was telling you the day before yesterday: God’s will for us is peace! However, if you have a background in traditional religion (whether Catholic, Evangelical, or otherwise), it is very likely that you struggle with this […]
“He who walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who takes crooked paths despises Him.“ — Proverbs 14:2 One of the things I dislike the most is when Christians show irreverence in church. Those who always arrive in the middle of worship as if nothing happened, those who chat during the sermon, those who […]
“I will pronounce my judgments against them because of all their wickedness, for they have abandoned me…” (Jeremiah 1:16). In God’s perspective, wickedness is primarily about refusing His presence and turning away from Him. This is the very reason that will keep people from entering heaven. This was what Nineveh had done, and this was […]
“Remember all the way that the LORD, your God, has led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not” (Deuteronomy 8:2). The lesson and message of the wilderness God is omniscient. Not only does He […]
Chapter 35 of Jeremiah tells a very interesting story. God asked the prophet to invite the family of the Rechabites to a room in the temple and offer them wine to drink. I imagine that it must have been an honor for the Rechabites to be invited there. It was the kind of invitation that […]
