DAY 8- Proverbs 10
Today begins the second week of my 30 day challenge. I didn't get much sleep last night and Daylight Savings Time began yesterday, so it's very dark out still. This morning was the hardest one yet. I remained groggy and had difficulty focusing. Still, I am determined to keep doing the one thing I committed to during this challenge- I will get up an hour early (5am M-F, and 6am on weekends) so I can fellowship with the Lord. I believe He will honor that commitment and teach me something new each day.
Proverbs 10 is a collection of wise sayings which contrast fear of God and a life of folly and sin. The first fourteen verses focus on how an honest life is immortal. v7 "A good and honest life is a blessed memorial; a wicked life leaves a rotten stench." The next seven verses explain that the road to life is a disciplined life. I liked verse 19... "The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words." That stings just a bit.
The last ten verses are captioned "Fear of God Expands Your Life." Verse 24 should make us sit up and take notice. It says, "The nightmares of the wicked come true (yikes!); but what the good people desire, they get." I know which I would prefer to be.
