Day 173- The Bible Recap

Today's reading is Proverbs 30-31. Here's what stood out to me:

Agur says his wisdom can't compare to the One who has "gathered the winds in His fists,"  "wrapped up the waters in His garment," and "established all the ends of the earth." I know this is a rabbit trail, but too good not to share. I read recently that while we know the LORD walked on water, do we think about the fact that he holds water in the air?! There is around 37.5 million-billion gallons of water in the atmosphere. If it were to all fall at once, it would raise the global ocean level 1.5 inches...that's our God!!!

Every word of God proves true. It's so important we are in His Word so that we can determine Truth from lies.

In 30:8, while I'm sure Agur is referring to literal food, I couldn't help but wonder if he could also have been talking about God's Truth. His Word is definitely food for our souls!

As Tara Leigh mentioned, it is believed that chapter 31 could be Bathsheba speaking to Solomon. She went through many of these experiences with David. She warned him about drinking and allowing women to distract him from leading. She also told him to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.

An excellent wife is more precious than jewels. Her husband trusts her. She is a helper to her husband. I believe she has enjoyment in caring for her family, it's not a burden or degrading. And most importantly, she is praised because she fears the LORD.
