Proverbs 11:2 begins with another warning that pride puts us on the path to disgrace (see last week’s verse for more on pride). The second half of the verse, however, points out one of the keys to attaining Godly wisdom: humility. Throughout the book of Proverbs we are encouraged by Solomon, who “was wiser than all men” (1 Kings 4:31), to aggressively pursue wisdom. Here we are reminded that we must have humble (and teachable) hearts and minds in that pursuit.

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
