Proverbs 31:1-9
The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:
2 What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb?
What are you doing, son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women,
your ways to those who destroy kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
or for rulers to take strong drink,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed
and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing,
and wine to those in bitter distress;
7 let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the mute,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
The Babylonian Talmud (Tractate Aboth, Chapter 5) says six names were given to Solomon:
Solomon, Jedidiah, Qoheleth, Ben Iokoh, Agur,
and Lemuel.
King Lemuel — David's son is “Towards God” or “For God.”
Marriages and Nations. Both require work.
If a couple decides to stay married for five years, a dedication to being married, the marriage in great probability will work. A High Percentage Success Rate. Not always in great speed, but with a lot of dedication and care.
Covid
Covid - taking all the logic we have and being rude to each other and make sure our slice of life looks bigger, is heftier and looks spiffier. Not considering the normal-looking person speaking has stress brain fall out.
All of us are feeling afflicted, to some degree.
Today, a middle of the road (rare) Political Agenda News Podcast
Reported today is the warm comfort of Back to the Future, 2015. The arguments are the same, the stereotypes are cast and the news will repeat. Na. This is a different season and stereotypes are not going to make this warm and better.
James Dobson wrote a book called, "Tough Love."
Overcoming dog paths and stereotypes to find Peace and Love.
The main story of the book is working past the broken down stereotypes of repeat sound bites and imagery. Taking all the time required putting the Healing of the Whole People and getting past anger and illogical speaking. Anger can create whims not supported with logic statements and are made in discord. Threats seek to be heard and win because the angry and impassioned know best.
Proverbs makes a point, even anger and harsh talk can be mistaken as substance. Be clear-headed.
Several key points to consider for redeeming broken down communication:
Let Love be Genuine. Speak the truth, in love.
James 1:20
man's anger does not produce the Righteousness of God
Believe God backs a good cause and wouldn't use a harsh reply. Explain your mercy. Not the same old reasons. Explain. Find why your reason is merciful and blesses the afflicted.
You don't necessarily have to be part of a huge, angry debate.
Proverbs 31 doesn't say carry a sign.
Doesn't say go walking about. Proverbs 31 says, "Speak Up." And Up is a Key Point in your words. Don't be silent. Don't spend your words without effort. Communicate most courteously with your Legislature, State and National. Be pleased for polite.
Keep speaking up, to the people elected to make changes.
Logic. Several times Proverbs teaches about sobriety. Angry people are easier to ignore and not always in their most convincing or sober moments. Scriptures tell us anger is fleeting. Anger is a huge topic in the Scriptures and says anger can be dismissed.
Frame your words with Mercy.
Abba, Father God,
May the words of my mouth,
the meditations of my heart
be pleasing in Your Sight,
Oh Lord,
My Rock and My Redeemer.
Father God,
We ask in the Highest Name of Jesus,
You would be a restorer of Life and nourisher.
Hosea 6:6
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and the knowledge of God
rather than burnt offerings.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly
and
to love mercy
and
to walk humbly with your God.
We invite You, Father God,
