It just seems to tie everything all together in our study of Wisdom. From the groundwork to the foundation to the pillars. I need to put them on a sticky to remind myself to try to achieve these things.<br /><br />I will certainly pray for your family. Lots going on there. And I will add it in to the prayer page.Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-79033196862472895782011-08-15T22:49:12.341-04:002011-08-15T22:49:12.341-04:00This was a great study today, Tonya...thank you fo...This was a great study today, Tonya...thank you for studying and laying it out for us. I had forgotten about the passage in James, and they fit together so nicely. God surely meant for us to study and remember them. <br />I would appreciate prayer for both my sons...I have shared with you, Tonya, about my middle son. I don't mind anyone knowing that he is estranged from our family, and our efforts to reach him, to reconcile, to move past the misunderstandings and hurt (on both sides) have failed so far. My oldest son is having medical issues...testing at a gastrologist in the morning. Please bear him up in prayer that God will bless him with renewed health. With gratitude to all of you,<br />JacqueSnoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098194837683371037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-52137986479447743702011-08-15T22:07:36.456-04:002011-08-15T22:07:36.456-04:00Jennifer...perhaps YOU should invest in a hard hat...Jennifer...perhaps YOU should invest in a hard hat?? You had some great insights, thank you. I didn't even think to include the wise man/foolish man verses! (Now that song keeps going over and over in my head.)<br /><br />I use Bible Gateway but it doesn't do side by side. I will check out that other site, thank you.Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-58403500725513373022011-08-15T14:56:54.808-04:002011-08-15T14:56:54.808-04:00God has been using building metaphors in different...God has been using building metaphors in different aspects of my life in the last two weeks. Guess I need to learn a little more about building. We all know you have to build a solid foundation in everything you do or you will be like the foolish man who built his house on sand. Without a foundation in God's word you only sink into the world's way, justifying your actions, saying tomorrow you'll do better but knowing in your heart you won't, etc. This Sunday in our Sunday school class a question was asked, if you knew you wouldn't get caught would you do something you knew is wrong. (We all know God see's all but what if he didn't how would we live?)<br />Coming back to point, building a foundation in God's word helps us to know right from wrong and the path that God expects us to take even if we choose not to. Each of the pillars of wisdom help us stand firm on our foundation.<br /><br />As a side note I use youversion.com on my computer to look up the verses and it lets you see 2 translations at once. I find it helpful to be able to look at 2 versions if I don't quite understand what they are saying, one may put it in a way I can understand.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011523381044922553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-82494745945710602702011-08-15T12:13:01.333-04:002011-08-15T12:13:01.333-04:00Hmmm, maybe you will have seven good years first....Hmmm, maybe you will have seven good years first...Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077173669350770709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-33534151947591277452011-08-15T11:51:13.361-04:002011-08-15T11:51:13.361-04:00Yes, each and every time it was a period of trial ...Yes, each and every time it was a period of trial or testing...but each time it was followed by a period of time or blessing.<br /><br />I am 42---must mean I am in my blessed years and my years of trial are over??

The number 7 being used starts with Creation and continues through out time even to Revelation. The number 40 is also significant. I just researched why this time.<br /><br />Also I use NASB but I did notice that several of the resources I used said 'Without partiality' but that even in that it means to truly be humble. Sometimes translating from the original Greek can be tricky.Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619960360822780022.post-20529019595390047232011-08-15T08:01:36.853-04:002011-08-15T08:01:36.853-04:00I knew the number seven was significant, and did a...I knew the number seven was significant, and did a search to get my thoughts straight on it. The number seven symbolizes God's holiness and perfection. I could list examples, but don't want to chase a rabbit here. <br /><br />What translation are you using Tonya? On number 6, are you referring to "no partiality" when you say "unwavering"?Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077173669350770709noreply@blogger.com
