Proverbs as Affirmations: Repetition

In Chapter 26, the way we speak is mentioned again:

I enjoy giving praise for what is good.

I take time to think of a good answer.

I can say that I am becoming more aware. I do tend to give more compliments now than what I used to do.

I recall having learnings from this next affirmation, from a previous time that I read this chapter.

I am wise and understand parables.

If you have read any of my previous posts, you may remember that I started reading the New Testament with much more interest, and had new insights from them. I read them with new eyes, so to speak.

Anyway, the thing about parables, is that is what Jesus used to convey a certain meaning, learning, etc., through parables.

Since our speech is suppose to be pure and kind, and we are to pronounce the innocent, innocent; then we are probably meant to keep our speech good about whomever we are talking about. Hmmm. Care to chime in on this. I say that with a bit of humor at this point in time. It is something I am working on.

Another interesting thing that I am thinking of right now, is that Jesus never took credit for anything. He said things like - My Father did ..., or Your faith has healed you.

It was all about one's mindset, belief, and listening to that inner heavenly guidance. We have been told in other books in the Bible, that the kingdom of God is within.

So breathe a sigh of relief, if you can; we do get lots of repetitions and reinforcement in this affirmation book, on how to be. If there are old beliefs that seem to dictate what shows up in your life, they got there by repetion and adopted belief. Trhough repetition and new adopted beliefs, the old ones can be transformed into new ones.

May you be blessed with repeating more good thoughts. Read more good thoughts in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

There is a journal version (8-1/2 by 11 inches, pictured on the right), which includes lines to write the affirmations for added reinforcement, or the portable smaller version (6 by 9 inches, pictured on the left), without lines, which is easier to carry.

Much blessings to you on your journey.

Proverbs as Affirmations: My Ponderings about God

Today I have been wondering about God. God can be different things to different people. In the Bible, God is said to be Spirit. So is this Spirit, the substance in which we all live and breathe. Do the vibes that we are feeling affect how God, Spirit, responds to us.

Also, in the Bible, God is referred to as our Father. With that connotation, people expect God to communicate with us as his children.

Which is it, or is it both, or something else?

One of my biggest arguments that I had with God, was when my then concept of what I thought God was, was shattered. I had had a relationship with God, the father figure one. I had prayed to God on a pretty much regular basis. Back in the 70's, I prayed practically every night for God to make the Vietnam war end. I wondered why it wasn't happening. Didn't God hear my prayers?

There were things from my youth that I needed to get over. One of the ways I did that was to listen to a guided imagery tape, and imagine things that I liked and felt good about. I was having fun with it; it was an exercise in relaxing and playing with my imagination.

Low and behold, some of my imaginings started coming true. I was floored and surprised. Those things that I had spent time with in my imagination were coming true. I hadn't prayed for those things to come true, but they did, nonetheless. Why did those things come true when the many things I had prayed about hadn't.

I gave God, of my understanding at the time, a big piece of my mind; and my relationship with God was forever changed.

Nevertheless, I started learning about affirmations, and focusing my mind. I know that those things work, when I work them and stay on track. And I now see God as a Universal Spirit, that responds to us all, but perhaps not in the way that we may think or have been accustomed to.

Since I had, had such a strong relationship with the previous God of my understanding, that longing took awhile to move on from. I re-wrote the book of Proverbs into affirmations, as part of my own spiritual journey. I still wanted to do what God wanted me to do.

I found out, that according to my rewrite of Proverbs into affirmations, that God pretty much wants for me, what I want for me. A good life, good feelings, being kind, being successful, etc. But then, it also says to be reverent of God, to honor God. This part took awhile to learn. I had to figure out who God was.

What I have come to learn is that God, Spirit, is a part of each one of us, that always hears everything we tell it, because that Spirit is inside of us and around us. What we constantly tell ourselves, is what we see in our outer world. The kingdom of God is within.

I wanted to share my learnings with you, so that you can learn from them too, and perhaps have an easier transition.

As for Chapter 24, I am quite impressed with the following affirmation.

I think good thoughts.

I think this is most important, to think good thoughts, and be kind to one another, no matter what one's concept of God is.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Wisdom and God

Today was the reading of Chapter 9. More details are given about Wisdom.

Reverence of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I was still trying to figure out exactly who or what Wisdom is. I do know that Wisdom has a lot of positive attributes, and being connected to Wisdom also seems quite positive as well. But sometimes Wisdom seems more like a place or a thing; then others it seems like an embodiment of very wise things to do and be.

By having wisdom, my days are multiplied, and years are added to my life.

From what I know about God, which is what I've read in the Bible, is that God is Spirit. I have also read that God is omnipotent and omniscient.

Therefore this Spirit is unlimited in authority and power, and knows all things. Could it be then, that this Divine Energy flows through each and every one of us, which I think it does. Does it mean that we are always communicating with God, even when we didn't know that we were?

Proverbs as Affirmations: Life Giving

There are some new ideas in Chapter 2, and some of Chapter 1 is also repeated. A recurring theme is that I am connected to God, which can be reassuring. There seems to be repetition for what is really important, which is a good idea when using affirmations.

There is more info on describing knowledge and understanding.

Some affirmations that stand out to me are:

My insight and understanding keeps me on all good paths.

Wisdom comes into my heart. The knowledge is pleasant to my soul.

Although the affirmations are somewhat general in nature, they seem affirming to trust one's intuition more.

Thoughts on marriage is also mentioned in Chapter 2:

I respect my vows. I stay true to my spouse.
