Today’s Meditation Verse:
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
I love reading the Lexicon version of a scripture. To me it reveals so much.
For instance there is little variation in this scripture from translation to translation. It pretty much says it like it is and in any language or culture it is pretty much the same.
But just now as I was reading this verse in the Lexcon (the original Greek translation) I saw something that I had to meditate on for a bit. Then I saw how obvious the original word was to our own modern terminology.
That word is before. In the Lexicon that word means faces. We use that word often now. She is facing an uphill battle. He is facing termination at work. They are facing the playoffs.
We know this word so well.
Let’s look at this week’s scripture again using the original word, facing.
Pride causes you to face destruction, and a haughty spirit will cause you to face a fall.
We know when we face something that it is coming, for sure. Something that we face is something we know we will have to deal with.
So this week when you meditate on this scripture know that the pride in your life will cause you to face with certainty, destruction and that a haughty spirit will cause you to face a fall.
Each Monday I am going to be having ‘Monday Meditations’. I hope to bring to you each Monday a verse to mediate on for the week. This is not for memorization, but to think about and to dwell on. The word meditate, in the bible, means to mutter. So this week as you go about your life, think about and mutter to yourself the verse for the week and think about how it applies to your life. Meditating on a verse will bind it to your spirit and it will become part of you! The more of the Word you meditate on, the more it will transform you into the image of Christ!
