America is again at a place where there seem to be no human solutions to problems. As at our founding, we need a LOT of help from on high. So, I continue sharing my daily Bible explorations.  These Bible citations found in the very intersting book, Delighted By Discipline Reaping the Rewards of Spiritual Commitment, By Mark R. Littleton, 1990

Genesis 41

[33] Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

 

Mark 12

[28] And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

[29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

[30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

[32] And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

[33] And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

[34] And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Proverbs 32

[32] But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

[33] A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

[34] For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

[35] He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
