Isaiah 15 and 16, Mourning for Moab
Additional studies: Isaiah Index
The Messianic prophecy of Messiah’s throne, established in covenant mercy and enduring truth over the nations, offers Moab hope amisdt her desolation. Isaiah’s prophecy of Moab’s desolation, fulfilled within three years, is documented in Ussher’s Annals of the World.
Psalm 62, Chiastic Structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Two: 42-72 Index
The theme of the entire psalm might be said to be, the folly and vanity of the trust of the wicked (in wicked acts, status, oppression, robbery, riches) and the wisdom and surety of the trust of the righteous (in God alone, His power and mercy). ♥
1 Timothy 5, Widows and idle hands
Additional studies: 1&2 Timothy Index
The old proverb is “Idle hands are the devil’s playground.” Humans need something worthwhile to occupy their time and attention. Children fill this need by school and play, women by managing their households, and men by working to provide for their families. Someone with character will find or create a worthwhile occupation for themselves; someone without character, being idle, wanders about from house to house (i.e., sticking their nose in everybody else’s business), being busybodies, gossiping, and saying what they should not.
