II Timothy 2:15 Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
Chronological Bible Reading for June 3
Proverbs 1-3
Proverbs 1:1 – Proverbs needs to be read slowly and prayerfully to absorb even just a part of God’s instruction. Reading it again this year I see more than the first time.
Proverbs ch 1–31 – Solomon was telling his son over and over to know wisdom but his son turned away from the wise and toward foolishness. This decision split the nation causing the northern kingdom to declare their own king and accepting worship of a false god.
This also goes well with Psalms 37.
Proverbs 1:7 – Yes we must fear God in order to believe Him. If we do not fear God then we say that He does not have the authority to decide our eternal fate. Our sin is the evidence of our rejection of God’s authority over us and condemns us as such. If we do fear God then we will try to understand His plan for our lives. Even when Abraham just believed God, God counted it to his as righteousness.
Proverbs 1:19 – Thus Rehoboam did as he listened to those around him that were without wisdom and raised taxes upon the people thus causing the splitting of the nation.
Proverbs 1:22 – God calls us to seek understanding of His Word and not just live life as if wisdom does not exist.
Proverbs 1:23 – Wisdom is the faithful watchman on the wall calling out the warning to the people.
Proverbs 1:28 – When the people are in peril and have no understanding of God then thy will not know where to turn and follow blindly the path to destruction.
Proverbs 2:5 – If you seek to understand the Word of God you will understand that the fear of God is a blessing to be cherished and sought after.
Proverbs 2:21–22 – Here again God reminds us of the BIG If that He requires of us.
Proverbs 3:3 – Mercy is one thing that we are not taught enough. We see vengeance in the world and not mercy because they do not know God.
Proverbs 3:7 – Job was self–righteous because of his works until he partially realized God’s actual righteousness.
Proverbs 3:8 – The healing God is talking about is from the connection to our parents as a sinful person rejecting God. The healing will be in our innermost, to be born of the spirit to recognize God and truly revere Him.
Proverbs 3:12 – If you have never been chastened by God for your failure to honor Him then you should be very afraid and call to Him for salvation! Recognition of this fact is the warning that you need that shows God loves you and wants you to trust Him. If we ignore this fact then we only attribute the chastening and warning to other’s interference not God’s love and instruction.
Proverbs 3:13 – Solomon the most wise king explains to us the value of wisdom.
