I’ll share my heart with you

PROVERBS ONE: verses 20-33

Wisdom Shouts in the Streets

²⁰ Wisdom shouts in the streets.
    She cries out in the public square.
²¹ She calls to the crowds along the main street,
    to those gathered in front of the city gate:
²² “How long, you simpletons,
    will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
    How long will you fools hate knowledge?
²³ Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
    and make you wise.

²⁴ “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.
    I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
²⁵ You ignored my advice
    and rejected the correction I offered.
²⁶ So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
    I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—
²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,    and anguish and distress overwhelm you.

²⁸ “When they cry for help, I will not answer.
    Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
²⁹ For they hated knowledge
    and chose not to fear the Lord.³⁰ They rejected my advice    and paid no attention when I corrected them.
³¹ Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way,
    choking on their own schemes.
³² For simpletons turn away from me—to death.
    Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.
³³ But all who listen to me will live in peace,
    untroubled by fear of harm.”

End Times Witnessing: Today's Word is "WHIRLWIND"!

After finishing a wonderful six hours' Bible reading session with two other families and sleeping for three hours the watchman was woken up in his spirit. So he got up. But there was no urge to pray. So he read the Bible and waited. Then the wind started. It was loud and strong. He had never seen anything like this before from his attic room. The fiber glass  roof top of his conservatory began to rattle and shake violently. Sheets of rain hit at his attic windows. The three storied tall trees lining the path beside his house were swaying in the dark. He could see their movements clearly because of the street lamp behind the trees. The wind lasted fifteen minutes. The rain continued for another fifteen minutes and then stopped just suddenly as it came.
When he looked out again it was all calm and clear. The only reminder of a rain was the wet street, freshly washed and the air that was totally cleansed and pure.

He received the word then. "WHIRLWIND". So he looked up the word in the Bible and here are some of the verses. 

He considered himself truly blessed in his quest to know God through His Word. Indeed those who seek will find.
