Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit! As you continue the habit of reading a daily chapter of Proverbs, you will develop an appetite for more Scripture. Gradually move from reading to studying, looking up unfamiliar words and studying other books of the Bible.  Over time, you will find yourself "handling matters wisely" and finding good outcomes more often (Prov. 16:20). Wisdom is a gift and a treasure, and God gives it to us freely. We just have to show up and "eat the meal" He provides from His Word. Daily.

22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? God dwells in heaven in I Kings 8:30, 39, 43, 49; Psalm 2:4; 11:4; 33:13; 103:19; 113:5.Look also at the distant stars, how high they are!- God is so exalted that He is far above the most remote and massive star. The emphasis is on the greatness of God and the majesty of His dwelling place. In Ps. 113:5-6 God even lowers himself to look upon the affairs of men. God's exalted nature is a call for reverence for Him (Isa. 40:22, 26; 57:15). Jer. 23:23-24 says God is both near and not far off. He is above and beyond us and He fills heaven and earth. God is more distant than the farthest star or remotest planet and yet He is nearer than the air we breathe (Acts 17:27).22:22 Please receive instruction from His mouth- Instruction is the word torah. Torah often indicates God's revelation through Moses. This is the only time this word appears in Job. What does the Torah consist of here? It is used to describe wisdom teaching (Prov. 1:8; 3:1; 4:2; 6:20, 23; 7:2; 13:14) and wisdom, knowledge, and understanding come from His mouth (Prov. 2:6). In Proverbs the verb receive, lakah, often describes one's response to wisdom teaching (1:3; 2:1; 4:10; 8:10; 10:8; 13:10; 21:11; 24:32). 22:24 And place your gold in the dust- He accuses Job of putting trust in material possessions (Ps. 119:36; Prov. 11:4). Wisdom is more valuable than silver and gold (Ps. 119:72, 127; Prov. 3:14-15; 8:10-11, 19; 16:16). Job disavows any sin in this matter of trusting in wealth in 31:24-25. And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,- Ophir was apparently the most valuable gold (Job 28:16; I Kings 9:28; 10:11; 22:48; I Chron. 29:4; II Chron. 9:10; Ps. 45:9; Isa. 13:12). We have not been able to identify where Ophir was with certainty. Eliphaz is telling Job to put back his riches where he obtained them. Doing these renounces any claim upon him that gold has and will involve giving up all the sins that Eliphaz has accused him of in 22:6-9.There are a couple of significant wordplays in this verse. The word translated gold is the word beser. The word translated among the stones in the next line is besur. The word dust, aphar, sounds like the word for Ophir, which is transliterated from Hebrew.  22:25 Then the Almighty will be your gold- God is a blessing more precious than gold (Ps. 73:25-26). Rid yourself of all treasure and make God your treasure (Matt. 19:21). Was Job content to let God be His treasure? (1:9-11). It is interesting that it is Eliphaz who utters this line. Eliphaz' statement reflects the meaning of his name; My God is gold. And choice silver to you- While great wealth brings great security (at least imagined; Prov. 18:10-11) and can bring honor, God has more to give to give Job than that (II Chron. 25:8-10). 22:26 For then you will delight in the Almighty- The verb delight, anog, is also used in Ps. 37:4 and Isa. 58:14 for delighting in the LORD (Ps. 1:2; 112:1; Isa. 61:10). Eliphaz is pointing to a transformation of Job's desires.And lift your face to God- 10:15-16; 11:15. The sins of Ezra and his people made him embarrassed to lift up his face to God in Ezra 9:6. If Job delights in the Almighty, he will once again be able to lift up his face to Him. Lifting up one's face indicates victory in battle (Judges 8:28; Ps. 27:5-6) or acceptance by a superior (Esther 2:9, 17; Jer. 52:31). It means to be able to look at one with a clean conscience (II Sam. 2:22).

Você sabe o que realmente significa temer a Deus? Neste episódio, abandonamos a ideia de um Deus que fica esperando o erro para punir e entendemos que mais do que medo, culpa ou uma tentativa de evitar o pecado por punição, o temor nasce do reconhecimento do valor de Deus e da decisão de colocá-lo acima de todos os outros tesouros. A partir de Provérbios 1 e 2, somos lembrados de que a sabedoria começa quando aprendemos a ouvir, aceitar e buscar a Palavra de Deus, entendendo que uma vida de fé exige relacionamento pessoal, disciplina, obediência e confiança.O Evangelho não é apenas um lugar de conforto ou uma busca por aquilo que Deus pode nos dar, mas um caminho de rendição, no qual aprendemos a confiar mesmo quando não compreendemos. O verdadeiro temor do Senhor nos ensina a colocar cada tesouro no seu devido lugar e a viver de forma coerente com aquilo que professamos, reconhecendo que tudo começa quando aprendemos a ouvir e aceitar a voz do nosso Pai.Para escutar toda a palavra fique aqui conosco ou assista pelo YouTube.

Job 22-27 constitute the third cycle of speeches between Job and his friends. It is unlike the others in that Bildad's speech is extremely brief and Zophar has no speech at all. 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,- Eliphaz speaks first for the friends as he did in Job 4-5, 15. Verses 2-5 ask rhetorical questions.22:2 Can a vigorous man be of use to God,- The word of use or profitable was used in Job 15:3 where Eliphaz accused Job of talk that is not profitable. Or a wise man be useful to himself? The LORD will sarcastically taunt Job's claims to wisdom in 38:4, 5, 18, 21. Even the wisest and strongest of men add nothing to God (Acts 17:25), but they are completely dependent upon Him- Jer. 9:23-24; I Cor. 1:25-26. 22:3 Is there any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous,- In I Sam. 15:22 uses this word to tell us that God takes pleasure in the obedience of His people. Whether it is the wisest, strongest, or the most righteous, we cannot benefit God or make God in some way indebted to us. Or profit if you make your ways perfect? The word perfect, tamam, is connected to the word blameless, tam, used to describe Job in the prologue (1:1, 8; 2:3).God is still God whether we are righteous or wicked. He is not obligated or indebted to us because we are so good because He gives us every good thing we have (James 1:17).  However, the Bible tells a story of God who loves man (John 3:16; I John 4:7-11, 19) and seeks to save man and longs for fellowship with Him (Luke 19:10; John 4:23-24). 22:4 Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you,- The word reverence is from the Hebrew yirah. Eliphaz used the word in 15:4 telling us Job did away with reverence. Remember Job is described as one who feared, yare, God (1:1, 8; 2:3).   22:5 Eliphaz gives no witnesses or evidence of crime.  22:6 For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause,- The word without cause, chinnam, was used in Job elsewhere in 1:9; 2:3; 9:17; 22:6. The Satan accused Job of serving God for nothing in 1:9. But the LORD says the Satan stirred him up to ruin Job for nothing in 2:3. Job says God multiplied his wounds without cause in 9:17. 22:7 To the weary you have given no water to drink,- Matt. 10:42; Prov. 25:21-22. Being thirsty is connected to being weary in Prov. 25:25.And from the hungry you have withheld bread. Job denies these charges in 31:17-18. 22:8 But the earth belongs to the mighty man,- This verse unlike those around it is not a specific act of sin but an attitude that led to it. It is also not addressed to Job in second person, but it is in third person.  22:9 You have sent widows away empty,- The idea of sent away, shalach, seems to indicate the widow appealed to him for legal protection. The basic responsibility of caring for these groups is emphasized repeatedly in the Old Testament (Deut. 14:29; 16:11, 14; 24:17; 26:12; 27:19; Isa. 1:17; Jer. 7:6; 22:3; Zech. 7:10). Why does Eliphaz assume that Job is guilty of these sins? Job has lost everything (1:13-19). The fact that God often punishes man according to his sin (lex talionis) leads his friends to conclude that this was Job's sin. 22:10 Therefore snares surround you,- The word snares, pach, was used by Bildad in 18:9 to talk of the minefield God laid for the wicked man

How can we even trust that the Old Testament is trustworthy? How do we know it hasn't been altered over time?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a high level view of the reliability of the Old Testament. We look through what the Bible says about itself in this regard, as well as other secular historical proofs, archeology, and science to prove why the Old Testament is incredibly reliable and something that we can hold onto with confidence as we read it today!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Romans 13:1-7 Principles of Authority (vv. 1-2) The hierarchy: God government us The responsibility: us government God Provision of Authority (vv. 3-4) Protect the peaceful and the good Prosecute the criminal and the evil Prescription of Authority (vv. 5-7) Obey the laws (unless against Scripture: Acts 5:29) Honor the leaders (Prov. 24:21, 1 Peter 2:17) Pay the levies (Matt. 22:21-22) More to Consider Rome was the imperial capital, the seat of the empires civil government. As residents in Rome, Pauls initial readers were aware of both the glory and the shame of that city in the days of Nero, who reigned from a.d. 54 to 68. But they were also citizens of Christs kingdom (Phil. 3:20; Col. 1:13). Appropriately, therefore, Paul discussed a Christians relationship to his government and civil rulers. Both in its length and specific details this discussion is the key New Testament passage on the subject (cf. 1 Tim. 2:14; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:1317). John A. Witmer, Romans, in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 490. When the noted Dr. Pollich, of Mellerstadt, heard Martin Luther lecture at the University of Wittenberg, he said, 'That monk will confound all the learned doctors, propound a new doctrine, and reform the whole Roman church, for he studies the writings of the prophets and evangelists. He relies on the Word of Jesus Christ, and no one can subvert that, either with philosophy or with sophistry." -True Stories Paul urged Christians to be submissive and model citizens because God has installed the governing authorities to keep the civil order and punish wrongdoers. Peter gave similar instructions about submission (1 Pt 2:1314, 17). However, submission to authorities is not absolute. Both Jesus and the writer of Acts established this central Christian principle. Jesus said, Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods (Mt 22:21). Peter and the apostles declared that they must obey God rather than human beings (Acts 5:29). Any submission to the authorities must pass through the filter of Gods will and call upon a believers life. Ted Cabal et al., The Apologetics Study Bible: Real Questions, Straight Answers, Stronger Faith (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2007), 1701. Were I a sovereign, I would not have to do with atheistical courtiers whose interest it was to poison me; I should be under the necessity of taking an antidote every day. It is, then absolutely necessary for princes and people that the idea of a Supreme Being, creating governing, rewarding and punishing, be ingraven on their minds.

Sermon Sep 6 - Acts 17:22-34 & 10-15, Prov 1:1-7 by Sunnybrook Christian Church

Being that I could not get my 1 Peter 4 passage ready in time I did a "breakaway message" this week. I spend a good part of my quiet personal time w/ God going through the Proverbs each month. Prov 1 specifically spoke to me this past week so I spoke on it. Next week we will be back in 1 Peter 4. 

21:17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out,- Bildad affirmed that the lamp of the wicked is put out in 18:5. The book of Proverbs stresses this as well (Prov. 13:9; 20:20; 24:20). The text of Proverbs 24:19-20 says, “Do not fret because of evil people or be envious of wicked people, for the evil person has no future, and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.” (NET) The emphasis on the fall of the wicked by Bildad fits with Proverbs.  Job does not deny this ever happens, but he does question how often it happens. The occurrence of the lamp of the wicked being put out happens too infrequently to be said to be an established pattern. Or does their calamity fall on them? The word calamity, 'ed is used in vs. 30 and it was used by Bildad in 18:12 to say that calamity is ready for the wicked. In Proverbs 1:27; 6:15; and 24:22 this word describes the consequences of sin upon the wicked. But, Job asks, how often does calamity fall on the wicked for their sin?Does God apportion destruction in His anger? The verb apportion, chalaq, can mean divide, distribute, allot. The noun form of this word was used by Zophar in 20:29 to speak of the wicked man's portion from God. The word anger, aph, was used in 20:23, 28 by Zophar to speak of God's judgments on the wicked. Job is using Zophar's words, but Job is questioning how frequently they come true. Job's says the friends' argument cannot be maintained when looking at the real world. 21:18 Are they as straw before the wind,- Straw speaks of what is weak in Job 41:27 and what is worthless in Jeremiah 23:28.And like chaff which the storm carries away? Psalm 1:4; 35:5; Isa. 17:13; 29:5; Jer. 13:24; Hos. 13:3 use this image of chaff. Chaff is the remains left behind of the straw after threshing. These verses tell us the wicked are like the chaff that the wind blows away. Psalm 1 contrasts the righteous as a well-rooted tree to the wicked who are as insubstantial and rootless as chaff. Job questions this portrayal. Is Job questioning these God inspired pictures? Job is questioning whether we always see the outworking of these principles in this life. Job as a righteous man felt like he was a driven leaf and dry chaff in 13:25. Many people who live wicked lives are thriving. Even this very picture calls to mind the end of Job's children from 1:18-19 who were killed by a great wind.21:19-20 Job predicts the friends' will answer his argument about times God has not repaid evil with answers like He will repay their children. Job says that is not fair. It is not fair that the father sins and the children pay the price. Jesus' suffering is spoken of as drinking God's cup in Matt. 26:39; Mark 14:36. Jesus did not suffer this penalty because of any sin or wrongdoing of His own (I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5, 8). It is striking how many characters around the cross affirm the innocence of Jesus: Pilate (Luke 23:4, 14, 22; John 18:38; 19:4, 6), Herod (Luke 23:14), Pilate's wife (Matt. 27:19), Judas (Matt. 27:4), the thief (Luke 23:40-41), the centurion (Luke 23:47). Jesus was not on the cross for what He did but for what He did. It is not fair that we sinned, and Jesus paid the price. It is not fair, but it is amazing grace.  21:32 Others keep watch over the rich man's tomb to honor. Watch was kept over Jesus' tomb to make sure the disciples did not steal the body (Matt. 27:62-66).

We all make plans for our lives. We dream about the career we’ll have, the relationships we’ll build, the family we’ll create, and the goals we’ll accomplish. And when those plans fall apart despite our best efforts, the disappointment can be profound. Unanswered prayers, unexpected detours, and unfulfilled dreams can leave us wondering whether we missed God’s plan or whether He is doing something we simply cannot see yet. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that while we may have many plans, it is ultimately the Lord’s purpose that prevails. That truth can be both challenging and comforting. Our perspective is limited, but God sees the entire picture. A path that feels like a setback may actually be His redirection, and a dream that doesn’t come to pass may make room for something He knows is better. When our plans don't unfold the way we imagined, we can look back at God's faithfulness, surrender our expectations, and trust that His purpose is still at work. Highlights Why unmet expectations and unfulfilled dreams can be so difficult to process What Proverbs 19:21 teaches about our plans versus God’s purpose Why our limited perspective makes it difficult to understand God’s direction How unexpected detours can become opportunities to trust God more deeply The importance of looking back at how God has redirected your path in the past How surrendering our plans can help us embrace God’s purpose for our lives Encouragement to trust that God’s design for your life is good, even when the path looks different than expected Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Conner Bible Reading:“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” - Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) I don’t know about you, but I love a good plan. There is something so satisfying about witnessing dreams or goals become reality. Even better when you feel a sense of accomplishment as they are fulfilled. Perhaps you spent years researching, studying, preparing, praying, and planning for your future. Then the day finally arrived! All your patience and hard work paid off. You received the diploma, started the new job, married the mate of your dreams, or filled that final seat at the family dining room table. What an incredible feeling! You planned, you pursued, you sacrificed, you worked, you waited… and the desires of your heart became reality. Like the last puzzle piece fitting perfectly into place, the framework you designed produced your anticipated outcome. Sounds incredible, right? But how many of us can say our picture-perfect ideas have become reality? If your life has been anything like mine, I would speculate that things haven’t always worked out as planned. Maybe you prearranged, pursued, worked, and then overworked, struggled, dug deep, fell down, and then pulled yourself back up by your bootstraps, adamantly refusing to give up on the vision you saw for your future. Yet despite your passionate efforts, it simply was not to be. Unmet expectations or unfulfilled longings can be disappointing, frustrating, and for some, even devastating. Where then can we find comfort or gain understanding when our dreams are dashed? Today’s scripture comes to us from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is believed to be written by King Solomon, David’s son, who succeeded him as the next ruler. Solomon was known worldwide for his sage wisdom. In the opening chapter of Proverbs, the writer shares the purpose of his communication. “The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair;for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young…” - Prov. 1:1-4 (NIV) Solomon clearly communicates that the purpose of these writings is to help others gain insight and knowledge. He is not trying to boast or grandstand; his goal is to teach. Solomon concludes his introduction with a powerful reminder that the true origin of all wisdom is the Lord when he states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…” (Prov. 1:7, NIV). If we truly long for insight and understanding, God is the only source. He is not only the founder of all knowledge, but He sees what we don’t see. He understands what we fail to comprehend. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the LORD. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts,” (Isa. 5:8-9, NIV). Our vision for our own lives is limited, at times, maybe even flawed. We are mortal beings. We reside in a framework designed by the Creator of the Universe. With such limited human understanding, it is impossible for us to accurately measure our lives and their meanings. As such, the plans and pursuits we select for ourselves may not be what God would choose. Like the potter who looks at a lump of clay and sees the masterpiece it will become, our Lord recognizes the vessel He is creating in each of us. He crafted us in our mother’s womb, uniquely different and for His good pleasure (Ps. 139:13). We can trust that His design for us is good. He has a prevailing purpose for each and every one of us. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” - Prov. 19:21 (NIV) Intersecting Faith & Life: Have you felt like the plans you had for your own life were thwarted? If so, did your unmet expectations prompt disappointment and heartache, or were you able to recognize God was working for good on your behalf? Take some time today to look back upon your life and identify the times when you clearly thought your life was going to go one way, yet the Lord diverted your path. How does recognizing His direction in past circumstances help you to trust in His will for your future?
