The Apostles Lesson 2
Simon Peter: When I think of the foremost of the apostles, I think of a man of contrasts. He was certainly a robust man of physical strength, fearless at times, frail of character at moments, spiritually insightful, bold yet compromising and contradictory.

Psalm 73
The Psalmists’ Question: Why should the people who oppose God be better off that those who trust Him?
The Psalmists’ Conclusion: They are not. It is a judgment that comes from human myopia and groundless envy.

Psalm 145
Ironically, like the Proverbs 31:10-31, this is another example of an artistic literary poem; it is acrostic in form. Each verse begins with a consecutive letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Again, one letter is deleted (nun) which should be after v. 13. Some ancient translations supply what they must have thought was a missing verse, such a 11QPs at Qumran.
Since the literary form is acrostic, it is a wisdom or instructional Psalm, as well as a praise psalm.

Proverbs Lesson 8
It is very interesting that the book begins with the instruction of a father (1:8-9:18) to a son, it concludes with the instruction of a mother for her son (31:1-9). It begins with the wisdom of wise men, but it ends with the extolling of the wisdom of a wise woman (31:10-31), a lady that is a model of wisdom, grit, and valor.

Proverbs Lesson 4
The topic today concerns personal character qualities that are congruous with the Christian profession. The Bible frequently addresses the issue both positively and negatively. Job has rendered quite a verdict when he speaks of the origin of wisdom.
“But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.”
(Job 28:12)
