18:
Woops.
Asa didn’t end nearly as well as he started. And his son
Jehoshaphat starts out well, but makes unfortunate
alliances.
PROVERBS 31a:
Today and tomorrow are our last two days in
Proverbs. Verses 10-31 of chapter 31 comprise a Hebrew acrostic
poem; each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. Our highlighted verse today is verse 10. I like NLT’s
translation better because the Hebrew word describing a good wife
means more than just capable. It also includes valor and
virtue.
Pro. 31:10 [NLT Who can find a
virtuous and capable wife?
She
is more precious than rubies.
//GNT 10How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels!]
MATTHEW 13b:
Yesterday we heard the first two major parables
in Jesus’ teaching, and the reason why He spoke in
parables.
GNT Translation
notes:
Mat. 13:37 Jesus
answered, “The man who sowed the good seed is [Me,] the Son of
Man;
41 [I,] the Son of
Man will send out [my//his] angels to gather up out of [my//his]
Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do
evil things,
42 and [the
angels//they] will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they
will cry and gnash their teeth.
58 Because they did not [believe in Him//have
faith], he did not perform many miracles there.
