When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. I will also laugh at your calamity I will mock when your dread comes, ``Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention Īnd you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof ``Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you I will make my words known to you. ``How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square Īt the head of the noisy streets she cries out At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence It takes away the life of its possessors. Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird īut they lie in wait for their own blood They ambush their own lives. Keep your feet from their path,įor their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood. My son, do not walk in the way with them. Throw in your lot with us, We shall all have one purse,"
We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with spoil Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit If they say, ``Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction And do not forsake your mother's teaching The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge Fools despise wisdom and instruction. To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles. To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,Ī wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel, To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding, The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: After all, our value comes from being God’s children, and that will never change. Let Him remind you just how special you are in His eyes. Ask the heavenly Father to shine His light on any area of insecurity that may be a burden on your heart. Try spending time today in earnest prayer and honest self-discovery.
#The slow burn how to
All of these things can slowly accumulate and weigh us down if we don’t learn how to identify them. What do we mean by insecurity? It’s a feeling of inadequacy, often compounded by a sense of complete helplessness, purposelessness, disapproval, or rejection. This issue is harder to identify, but it’s powerful and can impact how we respond to God’s call. It’s more like a slow flame burning just beneath the surface, influencing our thoughts and subtly harming us from within.
There are many behaviors and attitudes that clearly cross boundaries-such as unforgiveness, adultery, and greed. How would you answer if someone were to ask, “Do you feel good about yourself?” Would your thoughts be filled with self-doubt and second-guessing, or would you be able to stand tall and say, “Yes, I do”?
