    "Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning" (Proverbs 9:9).

    In God's world, we will never run out of new things to learn. Knowledge and wisdom--in the potential--is unlimited.  The universe is not stagnant; it is dynamic and promising. The better part of wisdom is to realize this and go on growing in every aspect of life, for l...

    "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways" (Proverbs 3:31).

    Two gunmen in Paris shoot 12 journalists dead.  In the days following, people find strength in the well-known proverb: 'The pen is mightier than the sword.'  Is it really? Clearly there are those who do not so believe. Chairman Mao famously wrote: 'Political power come...

    “In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrong doing” (Job 1:22).

    Now that’s remarkable! In one man’s life nothing goes right, everything he has worked for is trashed, the people he holds dear are killed. It would have been the most natural and likely thing in the world for him to indict God, damn his luck or accuse whatever fates in...

    "For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation" (Psalm 149:4).

    The gladness and felicity of love exists in the awareness within the loved one, that she is pleasing to the lover; and the occasion of his joy.  This feature of human experience tells us something of God's love for us.  There is one appropriate rejoinder on the part of...

    "He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3).

    Broken-hearted.  No two-word statement of our condition more expressly describes the poignancy and pain that so many bear within. A movie was titled: 'What Becomes of The Broken-hearted?' It tracked the let-downs and tears of just one family. A cycle of damage went fro...

    “Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men” (2 Samuel 24:14).

    Those who perceive that God is far more compassionate than the best of men have cottoned-on to a great truth. Many suppose that God is like most religious people they know; that he is like their priest or their Dad or Mom. Sadly, for some, a God like one of those would...

    “When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God . . . .he is like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth” (2 Samuel 23:4).

    Few men and women become kings or governors, but every person's decisions and actions bear in some measure on the lives of others. In this sense every individual ‘rules’ over men. No man lives or dies to himself. For this solemn reason we each have a duty of care with...

    “With your help I can advance against a troop, with my God I can scale a wall” (2 Samuel 22:30).

    A difference pertains between a person who thinks that the only thing he can depend on in life is his own wits and his own strength, and another person who trusts in God to back him when he sets out to do right.  Doing your best in pursuit of any ideal at all is an emp...

    In express defiance of the king’s orders, Joab had killed Absalom and put his rebel army to flight. Though David was restored to his throne, he grieved loud and long for Absalom. That is why Joab charged him with confused values.  But David was not confused. Joab was....

    “Be gentle with the young man Absalom for my sake” (2 Samuel 18:5).

    So says David to his three generals as they prepare to make war on the rebel army under the command of Absalom, his son.  The words are spoken by a king and a father. Can he retain his kingdom and keep his son? How can he quell the revolt without crushing his own flesh...
