What I needed now?


(1) Patient

Proverbs 16:32

(NIV)
Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

(KJV)
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

(NLT)
Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Up on to this point of time, I need to be patient, patient is better than military power!

(2) wisdom

Ecclesiastes 7:19
"Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city."

In this verse in Ecclesiastes 7:19, wisdom also better than political power!

(3) the holy place and praise

The Ecclesiastes writer wrote that even some of the wicked come and go from the holy place and received praise in the city, at the end they too, die! What is the meaning in standing at the holy place, praying and reading the Holy Bible, or it is like the theologians who are pursuing the perfect scriptures, but he is called a wicked man, he received praise, and die in these! It is meaningless to him!

Ecclesiastes 8:10
Then too, I saw the wicked buried—those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.

What is the meaning for living another day

1.To write down my thoughts and to be patient, since I am impatient.
2.To pursue wisdom since I am a foolish man.
3.To stay away from wickedness, may God create a cleaned heart in my heart!
