I put up a post about the reading in Micah. I think I am by my lonesome self with the reading, though. But maybe you all will enjoy the post.

Hannah Venable posted an update about Ecclesiastes 1-6 in the group
Ecclesiastes has many connections with the ideology of Existentialism.

Hannah Venable posted an update about Proverbs 27-29 in the group
22 The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them. (Prov. 28:22)Sometimes I feel like I am too focused on making money and am not as sensitive to people as I should be. I think it comes from being afraid that I won’t make enough money. I am trusting in myself and not in God. But, as this Proverb points out, being stingy only leads to poverty. The opposite, being generous, seems to be what is subtly encouraged here. Generosity seems to go hand in hand with trusting in the Lord.

Hannah Venable posted an update about Proverbs 7-9 in the group
I want to take delight in the Lord!
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in humankind. (Proverbs 8:30-31) -
Hannah Venable posted an update about Proverbs 4-6 in the group
Therefore disaster will overtake them in an instant;
they will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy. (Prov. 6:15)I know this is kind of a strange verse to put down as my thought. But there is some comfort in knowing that evil people will be punished.

@blanca I just put up some thoughts on our recent readings. I am sorry that there is so many at once. I haven’t had access to internet as much the past few days. I look forward to hearing your thoughts too!!!

Hannah Venable posted an update about Proverbs 1-3 in the group
I was struck with how wisdom is not something hiding in the corner. But it is calling out and it is actively available for everyone. (Prov. 1:20-21) We don’t have to tap into some secret knowledge to know what is right and just and fair. (Prov. 1:3)

Hannah Venable posted an update about Song of Solomon in the group
”All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” Song of Solomon 4:7
Sometimes this is hard for me to believe. This morning as I was singing and playing the piano, I was struck by a line in a song praying for us to ”Feel Your presence and acceptance”. I was reminded that I am completely accepted by God. And yet, I constantly think about problems that I have and ways that I wish I was better. ACCEPTED. Thank you, Jesus.

Hannah Venable posted an update about Psalm 119:89-176 in the group
”Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.” Ps. 119:140
Am I sometimes afraid to lean on or test God’s promises? I may be afraid that if place all my weight on them, they will give way. What if they turn out untrue?
I must make myself completely vulnerable to God.

Hannah Venable posted an update about 1 Kings 3-4; 2 Chronicles 1; Psalm 72 in the group
God gave Solomon what he asked for and EVERYTHING he didn’t ask for. The Lord gives us more than what we request. I thought about Romans 8:32:
”He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
We have all things in Christ.

blanca posted an update about 1 Kings 3-4; 2 Chronicles 1; Psalm 72 in the group
This may be a dumb question, but who is Psalm 72 written about? (who is it a prayer for?) I first read it as a prayer about King Solomon, but I found myself thinking of Jesus as I kept reading…
This is a good question. It seems to be written about Solomon but I think you are absolutely right that it points to Christ as well!

blanca posted an update about Psalm 119:1-88 in the group
Weird…I thought I commented on this last night, but I guess I fell asleep before I actually commented! I was so exhausted… Anyway…I did get to read this Psalm 119 passage, and I felt struck by how often David talks about God’s word. I want to love and treasure the word just as David does.

Hannah Venable posted an update about Psalm 119:1-88 in the group
”I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.” (Psalm 119:32)
Just reading this verse is freeing! When I live according to God, I live in freedom.

Does anybody have any idea what a wineskin in the smoke is like? (Psalm 119:83)
One website says:
”Drinking containers in ancient times were usually made of skin. These skin bottles were often used out in the wilderness to hang in a tent when the use of fire was needed inside and there was no chimney. The skin would absorb the smoke for a long period of time.
Immediately the skin would become hard and shriveled because of the smoke and afterwards it turned black and was useless.
A striking figure for a man of God to refer himself as yet even in this state he ”would not forget God’s Word.””
Also, one person wrote a song about it.
