The Never Satisfied; More Of The Godly Wife

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

“The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, ‘Give, give.’ There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: the grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, ‘It is enough.’
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.”  Proverbs 30:15-17  (KJB)

THE GODLY WIFE

“Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”  Proverbs 31:23-28

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Let me be clear about something before we get too far into this fairly lengthy study.  I do not see miracles in everything that happens.  I do not believe the birth of a baby is a miracle. The conception, maybe, but not the birth.  One exception to that would be the birth of Jesus Christ; God became Man.  WOW!  Now that is a miracle.

With that said, I also find nowhere in Scripture that we ought to pray for cars, homes, wealth, or anything like that except for our “Daily bread” our physical needs; and it is a far cry from our needs to our wants.

None the less, let us hear the words of Jesus after He had cursed the fig tree:

“And He left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and He lodged there.
Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He…

Justness And Righteousness

The Wisdom Of Integrity

“…For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: and, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart….”  Proverbs 7:6-10  (KJB)
