Reading Proverbs in the Message is really interesting. This is what the Message says for Proverbs 27:15 “A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet; You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it.” The visual picture of that makes it very easy to understand. I am surprised by the number of times I have read one of the Proverbs and thought about how true that proverb is in my life.
Romans 9 this week really caught my attention. Paul’s grief over the Jews rejection of Jesus - he even goes to the point of saying that he wished he was cursed and cut off from Christ if it would help them. He knew his calling was to the Gentiles - but he could not ignore the spiritual state of his people. I wonder how different the Church of Jesus would be if we had this type of grief over those we know who are lost.
This week we leave Provers, go through Ecclesiastes, and get started into Song of Solomon. In the Newer Testament we finish Romans and Ephesians. We are almost half way through with the year - almost half way through the Bible - and what a joyful experience this continues to be!
