Starting Proverb 25…
Reading the NLT Commentary, I found this to be very interesting; something I never took notice to before when reading these words, but Jesus made this proverb a parable. Now I can put two and two together… “Don’t demand an audience with the king or push for a place...
Patience and Waiting…?
