The halfbaked Bard

No matter how rich you are, no matter how wise you seem to be, no matter how secure you feel, what good it would be if you can't sleep well. What good, if you live with fear althroughout your life?  Pro:3:24-26 You can go to bed without fear You will lie down and sleep soundly You need not be afraid of sudden disaster Or the destruction that comes upon the wicked For the Lord is your security He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.  Ps:91:3-7 For He will rescue you from every trap And protect you from deadly diseases He will cover you with His feathers He will shelter you with His wings His faithful promises are your armour and protection.  Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night Nor the arrow that flies in the day Do not dread the disease that stalls in the darkness Nor the disaster that strikes at midday.  Ps:91:9 If you make the Lord your refuge If you make the Most high your shelter No evil will conquer you No plague will come near yo...

For the Lord corrects those He loves Just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.  Pro:3:12 Do not reject the Lord's discipline. How can one reject discipline? It is already received. Then how can you not receive it? It is the mental attitude when you receive discipline, if you do not course correct yourself, you are rejecting the discipline.  If you do not learn from your mistakes and do not listen to God's correction and do not turn away from your wrong ways which the Lord shows, then not only would discipline be useless, but you would also sum up bitterness and frustration to God and your circumstances. Do not let that happen. Submit to God. And stop trodding on the paths you have been walking.  Image credit: https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/Hanae-Luvan-Natural-kabbina-karumbu/dp/B096KW8S5Z

Pro:3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart Do not depend on your own understanding Seek His will in all you do And He will show you which path to take Don't be impressed with your own wisdom Instead fear the Lord and turn away from evil Then you will have healing for your body And strength for your bones.  Your own wisdom is fallen wisdom. Your own logicality is inadequate logicality. The maximum you can see is what this fallen world allows you to see. It cramps you. It distorts your vision to what is limited.  But God from His infinite wisdom is willing to bestow upon you what is best for you. Not trying endless permutations and combinations and pursuing the best fitting, thereby leaving it to chance. But the Maker knows what you are made for. That is why He promised abundant life. No it doesn't talk about eternal life in the heavens alone. But the way you live here in this world too.  Logicality, justifies you to be angry and bitter and unforgiving. But...

Pro:3:3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you.  Loyalty to your seniors. Kindness to your juniors.  Loyalty to your bosses. Kindness to people under you.  Loyalty to your employers. Kindness to your employees.  Work for your authorities as if you are working for God your Father. Genuinely. With sincerity and integrity. As you work, do things desiring and praying for your firm. Seeking good for it. These are God installed authorities. Work for it with sincerity. Never tell ill of your bosses.  On the same ground, be kind to people whom you are a boss to. Do not oppress. Do not be a dragoon over them. Consider this. How did they end up in that position and you in this. All God's grace right?  There is nothing to be irritated. There is nothing to be proud of. It is all God's gift.  Then you will find favour with God and people And you will earn good reputation.  Pro:3:4 Image credit: Whatsapp meta AI

Then you will understand what is right, just and fair And you will find the right way to go For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will fill you with joy Wise choices will watch over you Understanding will keep you safe Wisdom will save you from evil people From those whose words are twisted.  Pro:2:9-12 This is what wisdom will do. Godliness is wisdom. Jesus says He has come to give rich and abundant life. Life to the fullest. To the full extent you are expected to live. Because He is the one who designed.  If not seeking this wisdom, logically speaking you are a fool.  Image credit:  https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/businessman-with-head-stuck-in-sand-at-the-beach-gm92655990-2694919
