Throughout the Book of Proverbs, (godly) wisdom is contrasted with (worldly) foolishness (Prov 1:7, cf. 9:10, etc.). Proverbs 10:19-21 offers godly wisdom concerning word economy. In a nutshell, when it comes to words: “the fewer the better.” Like a rare treasure, the words of the wise are often few but valuable.

Today, C4C is studying Proverbs 9:1-18 — a juxtaposition of rival feasts hosted by Woman Wisdom and Women Folly. While the fools, scoffers, and mockers accept the invitation to the feast that leads to death, the wise accept the invitation of the feast that leads to life and understanding. The theology of the ‘Two Ways’ continues in the New Testament, leaving us all with Christ’s invitation to the Great Banquet — and a choice to make.

Let us delight not only in wisdom, but in the One from whom wisdom begins (Prov 1:7, 9:10, etc.).

Today, C4C is studying 2 Samuel 6:1-15, which tells of how, following the coronation of David, the holy ark of the covenant was brought into Jerusalem — the newly conquered city of David.

Whereas those with “bad eyes,” who demand miraculous signs (Lk 11:29), betray their unwillingness to accept the teachings of Jesus, those with “pure eyes” manifest their willingness to conform to the teaching of Jesus. Spiritual darkness entails a primary allegiance to self instead of the Savior…
