I hope if you have read any of the Worship & Wisdom posts that you see the pattern of days of the month with chapters in Psalms & Proverbs; 5 Psalms per day and 1 Proverb matching the calendar month days. I encourage you to take up this daily routine to increase both Wisdom & Worship.
WORSHIP
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2
Begin at the beginning, ‘Blessed.’ The Lord begins the songbook of Israel with a key word, BLESSED! What a reason to Worship! I am and you are Blessed! Why? Verse 2 dictates the desire of the Blessed; the Word of God. It seems if we analyze these two verses we see that one thing will keep a person from another thing. Dwelling of the Word of God seems to be mutually exclusive to associating with and becoming ungodly, a sinful, and scornful. Delight in the Word! Meditate upon it day and night! That is the safeguard of the Blessed. Worship the LORD for His Word!
WISDOM
“…To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity…” Proverbs 1:1-4
These 4 verses, given in part in the introduction, introduce the writings of Wisdom in the Old Testament. The framework of instruction is given unto a specific result; wisdom, justice, judgment, equity, subtilty[fineness], knowledge and discretion. Voices from names like Webster, Carnegie, Maxwell, Covey, Andrews, Ramsey, Robbins, and a multitude of podcasters of today have all put pen to paper and derived some sort of formula utilizing the Wisdom given in Proverbs. Re-wrapped and stylized versions are packaged to draw in a demographic who puts e-books and hardback copies in their cart and wait for amazon to deliver the words that will turn their life around. Tell you what. Skip the Wisdom middle-men and go right to their source; the Wisdom of Proverbs. Wise or Foolish?
