“Do Not…”
“Do Not…”
Blessings folk!
The Father has told the son, and us, to pursue Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge from the Lord.
To what purpose?
Just for the sake of knowledge, etc?
No!
Listen to the next instructions…
Pro 3:27-31
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do it.
Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.
Do not devise harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.
Do not contend with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.
Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.
Five times we read “do not”.
We see how were are to live with our neighbor…
- Do not withhold good when it is in your power to do good.
- Do not say “come back” later when you have it now.
- Do not devise harm against your neighbor when he is living securely beside you
We see how we are to be with man…
- Do not be contentious without cause.
- Do not be envious of a man of violence.
- Do not choose the way of the violent.
