Read: Prov. 25:1-29:27
When Hezekiah became king, he not only cleaned up the priesthood and reestablished Passover, but he also went through Solomon’s writings and ordered the priests to use them. Today, we read some of the ones he picked out.
The first verse is one of my mottos. I love the way this version reads: “It is God’s privilege to conceal things and the king’s privilege to discover them.” Solomon realized that God hid his wisdom in nature and if plain sight, but if you were not looking you could totally miss it. Everything in God’s kingdom that he created speaks a deeper truth. Solomon spent his days observing. If we want to learn to hear God’s voice this is a great way to start. God speaks through numbers, nature, sound, art, names, people, movies, songs, sports, etc. The list goes on and on because God is always speaking. Sometimes it is still and quiet and other times it is a roar. It is up to us to position our ear to the ground to hear it.
Today, he spoke a lot about quarreling, dishonesty and gossip which means he also spoke a lot about peacemakers, honesty and words of life. It is our decision which list we will be on. We can choose life and abundance or death and destruction. The choice is ours to take.
Lord, today, we choose life. Help our words and sprit to flow out to others that they might have joy also.
