And it matches up with God’s instructions for Israel concerning a king. Too bad Israel didn’t follow it. The last time we were together we met a very wise mother who loved her son. We only called her wise that last time because we were looking - [Proverbs 31:1-2 My Son](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-311-2-my-son/) - King Lemuel adds his voice to the wisdom of Proverbs. He learned it first from his mother and is passing it on to us. “What are you doing my son?” - [Proverbs 30:32-33 Pressing](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3032-33-pressing/) - The old saying, “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.” Agur instructs us to put the hand over the mouth to cut off its evil. Trouble will come pressing - [Proverbs 30:29-31 Walking Tall](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3029-31-walking-tall/) - Our last list from Agur contains things that are ‘walking tall’; “stately in their stride.” I can see pride in the mix as well. But sometimes pride is justified - [Proverbs 30:24-28 Small & Mighty](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3024-28-small-mighty/) - Today’s list contains things that are small AND mighty. They are also tenacious when facing the trials of life. - [Proverbs 30:21-23 Topsy Turvy](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3021-23-topsy-turvy/) - We have another list. This time is features things that make the earth tremble because it is so out of order. It’s topsy turvy and messes are bound to be made! - [Proverbs 30:18-20 Too Wonderful](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3018-20-too-wonderful/) - Agur looks at five things today. These are “too wonderful” for him or things “he doesn’t understand.” I’m right there beside him on some of these. Agur says he is going to focus on three things that are too wonderous for him. He also says he doesn’t understand a fourth thing. Trouble is, he lists - [Proverbs 30:17 Careful Little Eyes](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3017-careful-little-eyes/) - The verse we see today is a curse, and a scary one at that. Be careful little eyes what you see and how you look on your parents. God sees your heart. - [Proverbs 30:15-16 Never Enough](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3015-16-never-enough/) - We see three things that “are never satisfied; four never say, ‘Enough’”. The three things have a longing that can’t be filled. The fourth without bounds, devours. First of all, thank you for letting me take a day off a couple days ago. I got so busy with projects and people that my day was - [Is It Time Yet?](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/is-it-time-yet/) - While the world sleeps Heaven waits. The world watched and walked by as Jesus was hung on the cross. Many jeered at the time and wagged their heads. “He saved so many. Why can’t He save Himself?” Their conclusion; He is not who He said He was. The angles stood around God’s throne, waiting for - [Proverbs 30:11-14 There Are Those](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3011-14-there-are-those/) - This simple phrase draws a line between ‘those’ whom you want to be counted with and ‘those’ you don’t. ‘Those’ in our reading are not in alignment with God. - [Proverbs 30:10 Vicious Lies](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-3010-vicious-lies/) - Three different roles are brought in for us. The servant, the master, and the slanderer. The vicious lies of the slanderer could cost the servant dearly - [Proverbs 30:7-9 Balance Please](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-307-9-balance-please/) - Agur asks God for two favors. The first is to have “lying lips” FAR from him. The second is to have balance in ‘wealth’. Not too much or too little. - [Proverbs 30:5-6 Every Word](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-305-6-every-word/) - Every word contained in our Bible is from God. He imparted EVERY WORD to man through His Holy Spirit, to be recorded for us. Yesterday, today and forever! - [Proverbs 30:4 None But YOU](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-304-none-but-you/) - NONE but You is the answer to every question our author posts today. These are also the kinds of questions God Himself asked Job. They have but one answer. - [Proverbs 30:2-3 Unworthy](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/proverbs-302-3-unworthy/) - So many times we come to a task that we feel totally unprepared to take on. We feel unworthy of the confidence others place in us to do the job. ## Pages - [Home](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/) - If I Walked With Jesus | Come walk with me with Jesus - [About Me](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/about-me/) - I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and invite you to walk with me through the scriptures. - [Outside Resources](https://ifiwalkedwithjesus.com/outside-resources/) - Here are a few helpful resources that I use when studying my bible.
