Proverbs

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee bind them about thy necks; write them upon the table of thine heart.

Proverbs 3:3

Proverbs and/or Song of Songs would probably be my favorite books in the Bible. I always seem to find scripture directly relating to things I’m currently struggling with or worrying about …

Dear Friend, if bad companions tempt you, don’t go along with them.

Proverbs 1:10

When you grab all you can get, that’s what happens: the more you get, the less you are.

Proverbs 1:19

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Proverbs 10:12

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will son wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the sawn, the just ice of your cuase like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret — it leads only to evil. Fro evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit their land.

Psalm 37:1-9

And for another Jars of Clay song, Dig … possibly the prettiest song I’ve heard them sing and my overall favorite Jars of Clay song (my favorite of favorites ).

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

Psalm 61:1-3

(that last one also gives way to a Kutless song named Strong Tower)

letting the sun shine through,
