An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Where Are the Ways?

(Psa 84:5 KJV)  Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

(Proverbs 7 also read)

I first read this in the NASB which talks about the “highways to Zion”.  I noticed that some other translations have that also.  In the NASB “Zion” is in italics which means it is not in the Hebrew.  The KJV has words in italics too.  Where do they get Zion?  One translation has “temple”.  Interesting but not what got my attention.

What stood out to me was that the ways, or highways, of God are to be established in our hearts.  God is not satisfied with people who learn to go through the motions but are not touched in their core being.  Yes, He wants us to live upright, righteous lives but He wants it grounded in a heart that is on the right path.

So?  Seek to be constantly touched and renewed in your inner man.  God wants a foundation that will endure the trials of life.
