Meditations-Pr.5: 16-20 Running waters”

GuidetohisWord

What is the source of these running waters? Waters above the firmament is not any specific place but in the same class as we speak of our heart. Truth is written in inward parts is assigned a place.The Spirit uses such tags to create unity although dealing with shifts in standpoint from the Father and the Son respectively. For example God “lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind(Ps.104:3-NIV).” When we speak of retaining Wisdom for companion it is Christ we are talking about. “She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee(4:8-9).” Truth in our inwards covers soul spirit signifying an inner world. By the same token divine nature of God is given a place in heaven as well as on the earth…

Meditations-Pr.4: 13-27 “Hollow Man”

GuidetohisWord

Wisdom is the better half who is retained as companion and it means much more than bed and board. Whoever is in Christ is a new creation. He is justified by his faith and without works it is merely eyewash. The Household of Wisdom is where Christ is the head and you are being trained for a journey that does not stop with death. “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day(v.18)”. It also works within and without and there are signs all about to show Christian Living is blessed. With wisdom you also get understanding.In vv.7-9 we read other blessing that come along with it. “therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding./ Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her./ She shall…

Meditations-Pr.4:7-9 “My better half”

GuidetohisWord

Carnal wisdom tells how the system works but it does not give value for time or in money. Who has not heard of Michael Cohen the fixer who once asserted that he would even take a bullet for Trump. Was it worth wasting his time considering how it turned out in the end? Was it worth being a celebrity to be a wart on a carbuncle bursting with pus? Worldly wisdom writes its own rules and breaks in the same manner leaving coat-tail hangers fall pell-mell when the great panjandrum runs out of his tricks. When the cold war ended the US little realized using mujahideen to humiliate Russia was an egregious blunder. American statecraft believed in something else. Their realpolitik dictated the conventional wisdom. Since then several things happened. Now Russia is setting pretty with their Northern Arctic Fleet waiting in the backyard of the US and backing out…

Meditations -Pr.4:1-6 “My Father’s Son”

GuidetohisWord

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding./ For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law./ For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

In the Household of Wisdom the father is stand in for your Father in heaven. Jesus taught us to pray which is addressed to ‘Our Father which art in heaven.’ “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven(Matt.23:9)”.

When we are chastened by our parents we accept correction because we know that it is for our good. “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? (He.12:7-NIV)

All is needful for our life and godliness we received from our father which is how our parents were taught…
