Proverbs 3:18

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

We will continue reading Proverbs 3 together. As you might remember, we learned many of the benefits and blessings that wisdom/understanding bring into our life. The above scripture continues with this theme. As you may also recall, we discussed how one obtains wisdom/understanding through studying the Word of God. Through studying Proverbs 3, you are already headed in the right direction!

God Bless You!

FEATURED POEM:

Not until each loom is silent
And the shuttle cease to fly,
Will God unroll the pattern
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
For the pattern that He planned.

A. Micah

Micah 5:2

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The one to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting."
