Proverbs 3:19-20 Adonai by wisdom founded the earth, by understanding he established the heavens, 20 by his knowledge the deep [springs] burst open and the dew condenses from the sky. What a treasure to find these verses today. Adonai founded the earth by WISDOM. That means He THOUGHT THROUGH what He was doing when He created it! Most wise people give thought to their next step. If Adonai showed wisdom, that means He CARES and WANTED to found the earth! He used UNDERSTANDING

Proverbs 3:11-12 My son, don’t despise Adonai’s discipline or resent his reproof; 12 for Adonai corrects those he loves like a father who delights in his son. Discipline... We all know it needs to happen. Very few actually enjoy it. As I read the verses above what I recognized as I read it today, is we need to understand more that our Father DELIGHTS in us. If that is the core of what we understand, than discipline is not as challenging to accept! Do you REALLY KNOW that Adon

Proverbs 3:7-8 Don’t be conceited about your own wisdom; but fear Adonai, and turn from evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and give strength to your bones. Two short verses, but so much Truth. Once again we learn how to bring LIFE to our body. "Don't be conceited about your own wisdom." Straightforward and hits the target. Conceited people are not fun to be around. They drag you down. It's clear why Adonai would tell us not to be conceited. Yes, you might know a lot,

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him; then he will level your paths. Two verses in Proverbs that are probable the most quoted and well-known. This version is the Complete Jewish Bible. I don't always use it. I also appreciate the ESV and for certain situations The Passion Translation. However, I appreciate these two verses in the CJB. I love the word Adonai. When I sing I love to use the

Proverbs 2:12-15 They will save you from the way of evil and from those who speak deceitfully, 13 who leave the paths of honesty to walk the ways of darkness, 14 who delight in doing evil and take joy in being stubbornly deceitful, 15 from those whose tracks are twisted and whose paths are perverse. Because I choose to break down the different sections and look at a few verses each day, sometimes we need to refer back to some previous in order to understand something. When I

Proverbs 2:6-11 For Adonai gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. 7 He stores up common sense for the upright, is a shield to those whose conduct is blameless, 8 in order to guard the courses of justice and preserve the way of those faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand righteousness, justice, fairness and every good path. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, knowledge will be enjoyable for you, 11 discretion will watch over you, and discernment

Proverbs 2:1-5 My son, if you will receive my words and store my commands inside you, 2 paying attention to wisdom inclining your mind toward understanding — 3 yes, if you will call for insight and raise your voice for discernment, 4 if you seek it as you would silver and search for it as for hidden treasure — 5 then you will understand the fear of Adonai and find knowledge of God. How does one find knowledge of God and understand the fear of Adonai? RECEIVE my words! STORE m

Proverbs 1:7-9 7 The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. 8 My son, heed the discipline of your father, and do not abandon the teaching of your mother; 9 they will be a garland to grace your head, a medal of honor for your neck. God created us to LOVE Him, and part of that love means to fear Him. We have all heard that it doesn't mean to be afraid of Him, it is being in awe of Him. It is stopping a recognizing that HE created

Matthew 22:41-46 41 Then, turning to the assembled P’rushim (Pharisees), Yeshua put a sh’eilah (question) to them: 42 “Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” 43 “Then how is it,” he asked them, “that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord,’ when he says, 44 ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 45 If David thus calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?” 46 No one cou

Matthew 16:5-12 5 The talmidim (disciples/students), in crossing to the other side of the lake, had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 So when Yeshua said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against the hametz (leaven) of the P’rushim (Pharisees) and Tz’dukim (Sadducees),” 7 they thought he said it because they hadn’t brought bread. 8 But Yeshua, aware of this, said, “Such little trust you have! Why are you talking with each other about not having bread? 9 Don’t you understand
