Proximity to HIM

SOS Discipline - Daily Proverb and Red Letter Reader

Do you lack heart? Or does yours lack true expectations? cf Pr. 28:16

Do you think it all got there by itself? cf Mt. 6:28

Opportunity passes by. Consistency is up to you. cf Sun Tzu 4.2

From Today’s Stack

Solomon’s “Proverbs” knows no comparison in all the world, both modern and ancient. It is both a book of aphorisms and a conceptual framework. It doesn’t just talk about “being wise,” but it creates being wise within you by how it talks. It is something more than a philosophy, something better than worldview. The path by which the Son of David, King in Jerusalem, delivers life to his redeemed is by teaching us the way that it is (epistomology) in such a way that it does what it says (ontology) without your need to comprehend everything (philosophy) in order to grow in understanding by sheer proximity to HIM.

from the novel Watergeist

Whim was waterborne.

Waterborne were forbidden in Citadelia, but the Great Republic was dying, and Whim was masked anyway. Traffic in and out of the High Seat, nestled on and around the slopes of Evergate Pinnacle, dealt trade in a layer of high tension.

Haste was in the air.

Besides being masked, Whim was thinking about hyperinflation. But only for the moment. You see, Whim liked to keep a lot of balls in the air. But most of them will just get in the way of the story if I tell you about them now. So, the thing to keep in mind here at the start is that every tree is a life, and that means every life needs a tree.
