Jesus says if we believe in him, we will not perish, but have eternal life John 3:16 Wisdom is better than gold. GOLD.

They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ GET WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. Though it cost you everything!

Read Song of Songs 5:2-16,6-7,8:14, Psalm 45 SONG OF SOLOMON 6:9-11 but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the favorite of the mother who bore her. The maidens see her and call her blessed; the queens and concubines sing her praises. Who is this who shines like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as the stars in procession? I went down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding or the pomegranates were in bloom.

Read Psalm 119:1-88 What is one thing from today’s reading that you could meditate on? Grace breeds delight in GOD, and delight breeds meditation. THOMAS WATSON If I’m truly meditating on something it’s like when I soak nasturtium seeds before planting them it helps them germinate. Psalms 119:15 says, ‘I will meditate on your precepts’ and in 1 Timothy 4:15 Paul exhorts his son in the faith, Timothy to ‘meditate upon these things.’ Mary in Luke 2:19, the mother of Christ would meditate on the events surrounding the birth of JESUS. She kept them, she treasured them, she pondered them,…

Read 1 Kings 1-2, Psalm 37, 71, 94 Jesus embodies the attitude of psalms 37 while he’s on trial and falsely accused he does not FRET.

Currently we await the final enemy of God to be dealt with! Reader beware while I was researching God’s enemies I found Philippians 3:17-21. It’s here we understand that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ—…
