Today’s reading from the ancient books of Proverbs and Psalms

for may 7 of 2021 with Proverbs 7 and Psalm 7, accompanied by Psalm 49 for the 49th day of Spring and Psalm 127 for day 127 of the year

[Proverbs 7]

[Wisdom, Your True Love]

Stick close to my instruction, my son,

and follow all my advice.

If you do what I say you will live well.

Guard your life with my revelation-truth,

for my teaching is as precious as your eyesight.

Treasure my instructions, and cherish them within your heart.

Say to wisdom, “I love you,”

and to understanding, “You’re my sweetheart.”

“May the two of you protect me, and may we never be apart!”

For they will keep you from the adulteress,

with her smooth words meant to seduce your heart.

Looking out the window of my house one day

I noticed among the mindless crowd

a simple, naïve young man who was about to go astray.

There he was, walking down the street.

Then he turned the corner,

going on his way hurrying to the house of the harlot—

the woman he had planned to meet.

There he was in the twilight as darkness fell,

convinced no one was watching

as he entered the black shadows of hell.

That’s when their rendezvous began.

A woman of the night appeared,

dressed to kill the strength of any man.

She was decked out as a harlot, pursuing her amorous plan.

Her voice was seductive, rebellious, and boisterous

as she wandered far from what’s right.

Her type can be found soliciting on street corners

on just about any night.

She wrapped her arms around the senseless young man

and held him tight—

she enticed him with kisses that seemed so right.

Then, with insolence, she whispered in his ear,

“Come with me. It’ll be all right.

I’ve got everything we need for a feast.

I’ll cook you a wonderful dinner.

So here I am—I’m all yours!

You’re the very one I’ve looked for,

the one I knew I wanted from the moment I saw you.

That’s why I’ve come out here tonight,

so I could meet a man just like you.

I’ve spread my canopy bed with coverings,

lovely multicolored Egyptian linens

ready for you to lie down on.

I’ve sprinkled the sheets with intoxicating perfume

made from myrrh, aloes, and sweet cinnamon.

Come, let’s get comfortable and take pleasure in each other

and make love all night!

There’s no one home, for my husband’s away on business.

He left home loaded with money to spend,

so don’t worry.

He won’t be back until another month ends.”

He was swayed by her sophistication,

enticed by her longing embrace.

She led him down the wayward path right into sin and disgrace.

Quickly he went astray, with no clue

where he was truly headed,

taken like a dumb ox alongside the butcher.

She was like a venomous snake coiled to strike,

so she set her fangs into him!

He’s like a man about to be executed with an arrow

right through his heart—

like a bird that flies into the net,

unaware of what’s about to happen.

So listen to me, you young men.

You’d better take my words seriously!

Control your sexual urges and guard your hearts against lust.

Don’t let your passions get out of hand

and don’t lock your eyes onto a beautiful woman.

Why would you want to even get close

to temptation and seduction,

to have an affair with her?

She has pierced the souls of multitudes of men—

many mighty ones have fallen

and have been brought down by her.

If you’re looking for the road to hell,

just go looking for her house!

The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 7 (The Passion Translation)

[Psalm 7]

God! God! I am running to you for dear life;

the chase is wild.

If they catch me, I’m finished:

ripped to shreds by foes fierce as lions,

dragged into the forest and left

unlooked for, unremembered.

God, if I’ve done what they say—

betrayed my friends,

ripped off my enemies—

If my hands are really that dirty,

let them get me, walk all over me,

leave me flat on my face in the dirt.

Stand up, God; pit your holy fury

against my furious enemies.

Wake up, God. My accusers have packed

the courtroom; it’s judgment time.

Take your place on the bench, reach for your gavel,

throw out the false charges against me.

I’m ready, confident in your verdict:

“Innocent.”

Close the book on Evil, God,

but publish your mandate for us.

You get us ready for life:

you probe for our soft spots,

you knock off our rough edges.

And I’m feeling so fit, so safe:

made right, kept right.

God in solemn honor does things right,

but his nerves are sandpapered raw.

Nobody gets by with anything.

God is already in action—

Sword honed on his whetstone,

bow strung, arrow on the string,

Lethal weapons in hand,

each arrow a flaming missile.

Look at that guy!

He had sex with sin,

he’s pregnant with evil.

Oh, look! He’s having

the baby—a Lie-Baby!

See that man shoveling day after day,

digging, then concealing, his man-trap

down that lonely stretch of road?

Go back and look again—you’ll see him in it headfirst,

legs waving in the breeze.

That’s what happens:

mischief backfires;

violence boomerangs.

I’m thanking God, who makes things right.

I’m singing the fame of heaven-high God.

The Book of Psalms, Poem 7 (The Message)

[Psalm 49]

Wisdom Better Than Wealth

For the Pure and Shining One

A poetic song by the prophetic singers of Korah’s clan

Listen, one and all!

Both rich and poor together, all over the world—

everyone listen to what I have to say!

For wisdom will come from my mouth;

words of insight and understanding will be heard

from the musings of my heart.

I will break open mysteries with my music,

and my song will release riddles solved.

There’s no reason to fear when troubling times come,

even when you’re surrounded with problems

and persecutors who chase at your heels.

They trust in their treasures and boast in their riches,

yet not one of them, though rich as a king,

could rescue his own brother from the guilt of his sins.

No one could give God the ransom price

for the soul of another, let alone for himself.

A soul’s redemption is too costly and precious

for anyone to pay with earthly wealth.

The price to pay is never enough

to purchase eternal life for even one, to keep them out of hell.

The brightest and best, along with the foolish and senseless,

God sees that they all will die one day,

leaving their houses and wealth to others.

Even though they name streets and lands after themselves,

hoping to have their memory endure beyond the grave,

becoming legends in their own minds,

their home address is now the cemetery!

The honor of man is short-lived and fleeting.

There’s little difference between man and beast,

for both will one day perish.

Such is the path of foolish men

and those who quote everything they say,

for they are here today and gone tomorrow!

Pause in his presence

A shepherd called “Death” herds them,

leading them straight to hell like mindless sheep.

Yet at daybreak you will find the righteous ruling in their place.

Every trace of them will be gone forever,

with all their “glory” lost in the darkness of their doom.

But I know the loving God will redeem my soul,

raising me up from the dark power of death,

taking me as his bridal partner.

Pause in his presence

So don’t be disturbed when you see the rich

surround you with the “glory” of their wealth on full display.

For when they die, they will carry nothing with them,

and their riches will not follow them beyond the grave.

Though they have the greatest rewards of this world

and all applaud them for their accomplishments,

they will follow those who have gone before them

and go straight into the realm of darkness,

where they will never ever see the light again.

So this is the way of mortal man—

honored for a moment, yet without eternal insight,

like a beast that will one day perish.

The Book of Psalms, Poem 49 (The Passion Translation)

[Psalm 127]

God and His Gifts

A song of the stairway by King Solomon

If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders,

they will labor in vain to build a house.

If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city,

all the sentries will circle it in vain.

It really is senseless to work so hard

from early morning till late at night,

toiling to make a living for fear of not having enough.

God can provide for his devoted lovers even while they sleep!

Children are God’s love-gift; they are heaven’s generous reward.

Children born to a young couple will one day rise to protect

and provide for their parents.

Happy will be the couple who has many of them!

A household full of children will not bring shame on your name

but victory when you face your enemies,

for your offspring will have influence and honor

to prevail on your behalf!

The Book of Psalms, Poem 127 (The Passion Translation)
