 Proverbs Chapter 8 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: http://www.kjvbiblestudies.net Email: [email protected] Introduction: In chapters 8 and 9, a new and short section of the book commences portraying the virtues of wisdom. In Proverbs chapter 8, Solomon describes wisdom again as a personality and how this personality is characterized by righteousness. Once again, the greater personification of wisdom is found in Christ which is made clear throughout this chapter.
Pro 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? Pro 8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. Pro 8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Once again, wisdom is described as a person. The thought closely parallels that of Proverbs 1:20. Again, understanding is described as one and the same with wisdom. They are both related and interconnected. Because the Hebrew nouns (wisdom and understanding) are feminine in gender, the two are referred to in the feminine gender. However, that identification is only grammatical. The greater personality is that of Christ. Continue Reading in PDF:

 Have you heard this worldly comment, “He who dies with the most toys wins”? It is not surprising that people think like that when you see how the world is so enthralled with getting the next big thing. People seem to never be satisfied, and they accumulate more and more possessions. In America, we have so many possessions that it is rare to find a two-car garage that you can park one car in, much less two. Do you know what is one of the fastest growing industries? It is storage buildings. Look on almost any 2 block area, and there is a storage building. And if you drive another half a mile, there is a new one being built like that large one on the corner of the freeway east of Sutherlands. So we fill our closets, then our garages, then our outside storage building. Then when the attic is overcrowded, we rent a storage building. I wonder how many really important things are in those buildings? There is a television show where people buy those containers with unpaid rent. Highest bidder gets everything inside for sometimes a few dollars. Some bid over a thousand. So I ask you this. Is the person that dies with the most toys really a winner. I kind of think he is still dead. And boy if you die without knowing Christ your situation just got a whole lot worse. Radio preacher Chuck Swindoll recently said, “I have never seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer behind it when they take the body to the graveyard.” Whatever toys, money, or possessions you have when you die go to someone else. There was a fellow in the bible who had a lot of stuff. He had so much that his barns could not even hold all his harvest. Continue reading in PDF:
 Jonah Chapter 4 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: [email protected] Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: In Chapter 3, Jonah was given the commission a second time to go and preach the message to Nineveh. This time he did arise and did what God had commanded. And the great thing was that the people, even to the King, heard the message and repented of their sins and came back to the Lord. Oh that all who hear the gospel message might do the same and be saved. Chapter 4 is the record of God dealing with one individual in a very personal way. Instead of rejoicing at what had just transpired, we see Jonah in chapter 4 upset and angry over the tender loving kindness of God. In this chapter Jonah was made to realize that God in His love and compassion for others was not only gracious and infinite, but also reasonable and just, according to His own sovereign purpose and will. I. A Displeased Servant of God Jonah 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. Jonah shows his displeasure with an angry outrage. Jonah was extremely unhappy over the results in Nineveh. While the city was no doubt rejoicing over God's divine demonstration of His unfailing mercy, Jonah was upset and frustrated. Jonah's outrage over what had happened is emphasized by describing him being "exceedingly" displeased and "very" angry. He should have fallen on his knees in gratitude and praise to God for Nineveh's preservation. The Bible teaches there is joy in heaven over "one sinner that repenteth". Luk 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Continue Reading in PDF:
 Proverbs Chapter 7 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: http://www.kjvbiblestudies.net Email: [email protected] Introduction: Proverbs Chapter 7 begins with an admonition for Solomon’s son to pay careful heed to his (and by extension, God’s) commandments. This warning is nestled between the end of chapter 6 which warned of adultery and the remainder of this chapter which warns again of adultery and the adulteress. It is the fourth time in seven chapters that this warning has been raised. Also, chapter seven concludes the first section of the book which has been addressed to Solomon’s son.
Pro 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Pro 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Pro 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Pro 7:4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: Pro 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. For the final time in the Book of Proverbs, Solomon begins a section by addressing his son. Though Solomon had parental advice in mind for his son, God has given us His advice for life in His Word and commandments. In fashion similar to Proverbs 2:1, 4:4, and 4:20; God once again admonishes his sons to observe (i.e., obey) His words and “lay up” (i.e., store or treasure) His commandments within us. The thought parallels Psalm 119:11 in hiding God’s Word in our hearts. Continue Reading in PDF:
