*O YE SIMPLE, UNDERSTAND WISDOM* (4)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Wisdom has built her house with its seven columns. She has prepared the meat and set out the wine. Her feast is ready.* (Proverbs 9:1-2 (CEV)
_Bible Insight_
She has sent her servant women to announce her invitation from the highest hills: "Everyone who is ignorant or foolish is invited!
All of you are welcome to my meat and wine. If you want to live, give up your foolishness and let understanding guide your steps."
Correct a worthless bragger, and all you will get are insults and injuries.
Any bragger you correct will only hate you. But if you correct someone who has common sense, you will be loved.
If you have good sense, instruction will help you to have even better sense.
And if you live right, education will help you to know even more.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Respect and obey the LORD! This is the beginning of wisdom. To have understanding, you must know the Holy God."* (Proverbs 9:10 (CEV))

*O YE SIMPLE, UNDERSTAND WISDOM* (3)
_Key Bible Text:_
*I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean. I was there when he set boundaries for the sea to make it obey him, and when he laid foundations to support the earth.* (Proverbs 8:28-29(CEV)
_Bible Insight_
I was right beside the LORD, helping him plan and build.
I made him happy each day, and I was happy at his side. I was pleased with his world and pleased with its people.
Pay attention, my children! Follow my advice, and you will be happy.
Listen carefully to my instructions, and you will be wise.
Come to my home each day and listen to me. You will find happiness.
By finding me, you find life, and the LORD will be pleased with you.
_MEDITATION:_
*"But if you don't find me, you hurt only yourself, and if you hate me, you are in love with death."* (Proverbs 8:36 (CEV))

*O YE SIMPLE, UNDERSTAND WISDOM* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*I am Wisdom --Common Sense is my closest friend; I possess knowledge and sound judgment. If you respect the LORD, you will hate evil. I hate pride and conceit and deceitful lies.* (Proverbs 8:12-13(CEV)
_Bible Insight:_
I am strong, and I offer sensible advice and sound judgment.
By my power kings govern, and rulers make lawso that are fair. Every honest leader rules with help from me.
I love everyone who loves me, and I will be found by all who honestly search. I can make you rich and famous, important and successful.
What you receive from me is more valuable than even the finest gold or the purest silver.
I always do what is right, and I give great riches to everyone who loves me. From the beginning, I was with the LORD.
I was there before he began to create the earth. At the very first, the LORD gave life to me.
When I was born, there were no oceans or springs of water.
My birth was before mountains were formed or hills were put in place.
_MEDITATION:_
*"It happened long before God had made the earth or any of its fields or even the dust. I was there when the LORD put the heavens in place and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea."* (Proverbs 8:26-27 (CEV))

*O YE SIMPLE, UNDERSTAND WISDOM*
_Key Bible Text:_
*O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.* (Proverbs 8:5 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
With great understanding, Wisdom is calling out as she stands at the crossroads and on every hill.
She stands by the city gate where everyone enters the city, and she shouts:
"I am calling out to each one of you! Good sense and sound judgment can be yours. Listen, because what I say is worthwhile and right. I always speak the truth and refuse to tell a lie. Every word I speak is honest, not one is misleading or deceptive."
If you have understanding, you will see that my words are just what you need.
Let instruction and knowledge mean more to you than silver or the finest gold.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Wisdom is worth much more than precious jewels or anything else you desire."* (Proverbs 8:11 (CEV))

*DAILY DEW 17/JUNE/2024*
*The Reward of Keeping His Commands* (9)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.* (Proverbs 7:25-26 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
There are attributes that characterize the strange (wo)man! (6)
14. Guard your heart!
The strange (wo)man manipulates the unguarded heart.
From the earliest opportunity, propose in your heart to never have anything to do with the strange (wo)man.
Propose in your heart to live a sexually pure life. Propose in your heart to never trust yourself when it comes to issues of sexual immorality and temptations.
Don't fancy and don't indulge it. Build a mindset that never takes for granted issues of the strange (wo)man!
15. Many strong (wo)men have been slain!
Godly sisters with great potential of raising godly families and doing exploits for God have been slain on the altar of the strange man!
Sweet talking men have lured them away, misled by their desire for either money or deceitful promise of marriage etc.
Dear sister, don't go down the path of destruction with a strange man!
Dear brother, guard against the strange woman! Many strange women have brought down strong men. Many mighty men of God have been reduced to nothing overnight on the laps of the strange woman!
10 minutes of pleasure have shattered a lifetime of building a godly ministry or marriage or career or reputation! Why? The strange woman was entertained and indulged.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death."* (Proverbs 7:27 (KJV))

*The Reward of Keeping His Commands* (8)
_Key Bible Text:_
*With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks* (Proverbs 7:21-22 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
There are attributes that characterize the strange (wo)man! (5)
12. Enticing speeches.
Use sweetness of tongue to make your marriage work. Use wise and soft spokeness to reconcile brethren or show superior argument. Use good command of words to bring light, understanding and good works to pass.
Don't use enticing speech to lure people to sin, or to make people feel pressured to do what is wrong.
13. What are you going after?
In life, if something or someone is not going after you, you are going after something or someone. Or even both at the same time!
What are you going after? Be careful of what you are consciously or unconsciously going after.
In the end, everyone ends up where they are heading, more or less!
If you go after what is sinful, like the strange (wo)man, you are going after your destruction!
_MEDITATION:_

*The Reward of Keeping His Commands* (7)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey* (Proverbs 7:18-19 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
There are attributes that characterize the strange (wo)man! (4)
10. Love.
Not every mention or use of the word love will be God glorifying.
Even though "God is Love", there is no God or godliness in many cases when love is claimed among men.
Many "I love you" is nothing but the language of the strange (wo)man.
But there is a place for godly exercise of love where one can indeed fill one love till the morning- that's within marriage.
11. The goodman (woman) is not at home.
The strange (wo)man is full of cheating and deceit. They cannot be trusted and are always finding excuses to defile or breach their marriage vows.
When you see a man or woman who is not faithful or committed to their partner, do not indulge them or excuse them.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Marital Fidelity does not begin inside marriage. When you build and practice integrity as a single, you will understand and embrace marital purity & fidelity."*

*THE APPLE OF YOUR EYES* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman.* (Proverbs 7:3-4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Making God's word the apple of our eyes will mean taking God's word seriously!
-To write them upon the tables of our heart!
This would mean to store it up in our heart and have it deeply embedded in us.
Writing is not as simple as reading. Writing forces or exerts more energy. Writing involves the writer more. You think as you write and you ensure what you write is properly put.
Our hearts will be written upon anyways. It is for us to intentionally direct what we write on the tables of our heart.
We must be determined to write God's word upon our hearts otherwise other things will occupy the tables of our heart!
-To call wisdom your sister & understanding your kinswoman!
Take wisdom and understanding as cherished family members. Don't treat them lightly. Only the word of God brings out wisdom and understanding. So, invest in your relationship with the Word!
_MEDITATION:_
*"IF YOU DON'T LEARN TO SPEND TIME IN GOD'S WORD, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WRITE THE WORD UPON THE TABLES OF YOUR HEART"*

*THE APPLE OF YOUR EYES*
_Key Bible Text:_
*My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.* (Proverbs 7:1-2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
I am used to knowing that I am the apple of God's eyes. But today's passage reminded me that God want me to keep His word as the apple of my eyes.
It is such a needed reminder. We come to God with a PARASITIC mindset a lot. It is always about what to get or gain, what to receive from God and how God will bless us.
We usually don't remember or consider that God needs us to come to him with a SYMBIOTIC mindset. He wants to benefit from our lives too.
We are the apple of His eyes, so he wants us to keep His word as the apple of our own eyes too. He loved us first, so we should love him in return.
He sent his son to die for us, so he could raise from us (humanity) many sons like Christ!
_MEDITATION:_
*"If you call God a business man you are not far from the truth. Even Jesus said, he was supposed to be about His father's business. Remember, he perfectly demonstrated the kind of symbiotic relationship God wants us to keep with him!*

*RUN* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.* (Proverbs 6:28-29 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
This question is very paramount:
Whoever steps upon hot coals will have a story to tell and it will not be a pleasant one.
No one who touches another's wife will be found innocent. The same is true for anyone who touches another's husband.
I like to view this in the actual as well as in the potential sense. To touch another's wife, therefore simply means any lady you are not married. Until marriage/wedding, every lady, including your fiancée, is another man's wife. When you eventually marry her, you become her man! This applies for the man as well.
Whoever touches a man or lady they are not married to, shall not be innocent. We call these fornicators and adulterers respectively.
The wise thing to do is avoid situations and scenario that can lead to a compromise. Lone night walks, lurking in ungodly places, visiting bars and restaurants together or even alone, going out for cinema as a "couple" at night, etc.
The wise thing to do is to RUN! RUN from every tempting possibilities until you say, "I DO"!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Proverbs 6:30-35 We don't put up with thieves, not even with one who steals for something to eat. And thieves who get caught must pay back seven times what was stolen and lose everything. But if you go to bed with another man's wife, you will destroy yourself by your own stupidity. You will be beaten and forever disgraced, because a jealous husband can be furious and merciless when he takes revenge. He won't let you pay him off, no matter what you offer."*
