Chapters 23-26

I did not realize that I was so far behind. No excuse this week no company just lazy I guess any way here are my thoughts.
Chapter 23
This chapter makes me think about all those people caught up in addiction vs. 29-35 warn about wine, but I am of the opinion that this can be applied to any addiction. I do not believe that people set out be become addicted it is just one step along that pathway and at some point it becomes like a snow ball down a hill and it seems as if there is no way out. Breaking free is very very hard. The person must decide they want to be free then they have to turn their back on friends and or family to make the change and that is a very scary part the part about being alone no friends. We really need to pray for those trying to get out and to offer a hand when we can. Well off my soap box for now. And on to Chapter 24
Vs 3 & 4 wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
Is this house your life? Could you relate this to your life?
Is your life established with God? Or are you still wondering?
Is your mind filled with good? And what is Good, God is the only good.
Take time to draw near to our Heavenly creator to proclaim Him as King of your life and ask Him to help you to start right now living for Him. Much easier said than done, especially for me.
Chapter 25
Oh me here I am again requesting that I would have a sweet spirit
Vs 23 “It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop than in a house shared with a contentious woman”
I have to ask Lewis often for forgiveness due to my smart mouth. I thank God for him daily. A little over 20 years ago I was praying daily for the rapture, because I had two little boys on my hands and I was sure that I could not raise them in a way that would ensure they grew to be Godly men. I am sorry sometimes that we moved from Benton, but never sorry we have Lewis. I so want to be the mate he deserves. So I pray to have a sweet spirit and not be contentious.
Chapter 26
This chapter speaks to me about being lazy; I am guilty of being lazy for the Lord to often. I need to find my place and become a more active member of my church. Is there an area you are lazy in? Let us take this chapter to heart and help us to change our lazy ways.
