0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.6 | Today we tackle more of Solomon's Proverbs, and chapter 19 starts out with a lot of wisdom |
0:17.5 | on relationships, including our relationship with God. |
0:22.4 | I'll open with a confession. |
0:29.1 | Beside 19-2 in my Bible, I've written TLC-exclamation mark in all caps in the margin. |
0:33.6 | Those are my initials and my nickname, so it's just my way of trying to call my attention to the fact that I struggle with this, particularly the second half of the verse. |
0:38.1 | The whole verse says, desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet |
0:43.8 | misses his way. I've told you before that one of my old roommates used to say I do things |
0:48.7 | fast and wrong. So when I read, whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way, that's got my name written all |
0:55.9 | over it. This is a reminder to me that I need to seek his guidance on things instead of just |
1:00.6 | forging ahead on my own. And the first half of the verse has a different level of beauty and truth to it. |

1:13.0 | they loved you but didn't want to know anything about you, wouldn't that seem really off to you? |
1:18.2 | Wouldn't it make you really skeptical about their so-called love? It breaks my heart to see this kind of |
1:23.4 | thing in the church, where we have a relationship with God that is driven only by emotion and |
1:28.0 | that has no actual knowledge of who God is. That's why I'm so glad we're in the word here. |
1:33.8 | Every day that you open up your Bible and put your eyes on who God says he is, you're displaying |
1:38.9 | the kind of wisdom this verse calls us to. Verse 3 describes a common occurrence, not just in the world at large, |
1:45.5 | but even within the church. It says, when a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart |
1:51.5 | rages against the Lord. Have you seen this happen? Or maybe this has even happened to you? |
1:57.5 | Often, when our sins lead to negative consequences, we blame God instead of ourselves. |
2:03.4 | And he's so patient with us as we blame him and misunderstand him. |
