Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” I decided to visit an old friend this evening, known as Proverbs 3:5-6. I taught advanced Hebrew in Bible College for thirteen years and
Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.” Wisdom plays a prominent role all throughout the Bible.

Isaiah 46:4: “Till you grow old, I will be the same, when you grow gray, it is I who will carry; I was the maker and I will be the bearer. And I will carry and rescue you.” When the Babylonians conquered Judah, they took the royal family as well as the best

Acts 2:42: “And they devoted themselves in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Luke, who wrote the Book of Acts, was an extremely educated person. He was of Greek origin educated in the Hellenistic city of Antioch. He studied Greek philosophy, medicine and art. Tradition holds
Psalms 141:3: “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, keep the door of my lips.” Upon close examination of the context of this verse, David is asking God to watch over his words or what he speaks when he prays. Yet, God does not hear the words of our mouth, but the
Deuteronomy 32:16; “They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods…” The phrase “They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods” is only two words in the Hebrew: Yikeni’ahu bizim. Jack Benny had a routine where he was in some far off jungle and found himself the potential meal for some cannibals. In desperation
Matthew 19:9: “And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committed adultery: and whoso married her which is put away doth commit adultery.” KJV Matthew 19:9 “I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and
