Of Barns and Brims

Proverbs 3.9-10 – In verses 5 and 6 we learned that we are to trust the Lord in everything with all our heart.  In verses 9 and 10 we find the extent of that trust as we are given the command to trust the Lord with wealth by honoring Him in our giving.  It is a heart attitude that expresses gratitude for what God has given to us as we joyfully give back to Him.  By giving Him the first and the best it is both a way to honor Him and a way in which we demonstrate faith that God will continue to provide for us.

Wisdom’s Total Compensation

Proverbs 2.1-22 – When considering a new job we often look for a position with a company that will provide us not just a good salary, we are also concerned about all the other benefits that are available.  We call it Total Compensation.  Wisdom as well has some benefits that are found in this passage.  If we choose to pursue after wisdom these benefits will be ours.  There is deliverance and delight, but for the one who chooses not to follow wisdom, there is doom.
