I believe with all my heart that in this generation, starving is something a born again believer will not do. There were times in history where faithful believers went through serious famines. I wonder if this verse is not speaking to way more than food. There are a lot of passions in this life. Then again... Some of us that have loved the Lord passionately for half our lives or more, do go without certain cravings being met.. Perhaps I should just leave that one alone.
None of us can be righteous in our own efforts. That much I'm sure of. If we knew how to be righteous, then we would not have needed a savior. So, the only way we are considered righteous in the sight of the Lord is if we are under the blood. This will remain a mystery for me.. I have been under the blood since I was a child. I've never seriously or purposely walked away from the Lord. Oh well.. God knows my needs.
Proverbs 28:10 He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
This is an interesting verse. It begs the question, who's leading the upright astray? What trap are they setting that they will fall into themselves? I can only think of false doctrines. There will never be any lack of controversial doctrines. A person can take scripture and ancient texts and put them in contexts of what they believe life was life during earlier centuries, and make most any doctrine sound good.
Ecclesiastes 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
LOL... Considering the election we just went through...I'm very curious about this scripture :)
