Meditate with me Proverbs Chapter 9

Single red flower with many petals.

I’m on a bend; I’m reading, meditating and choosing my favorite lines for each Proverb. After reading Proverb 9, I have chosen lines 11 – 12 as my favorite lines.

For by me your days will be multiplied,

and years will be added to your life.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;

if you scoff, you alone will bear it

It warns us not be brush aside wisdom as we ourselves will learn to regret it. Sometimes, it is painful or embarrassing to be reprimanded or corrected in front of a large group of people. It will be all right after a short while. People forget or they can not bring it up repeatedly to harass you.

There are 30 Proverbs and at least 30 days in a month. The Book of Proverbs is perfect for a month long meditation practice centering on a certain Book in the bible.

Here are the rest of my meditations and blogged posts:
