Hesed – The Love That Won’t Quit. It’s not a word you translate once and move on. It’s the heartbeat of the whole story. Hebrew: חֶסֶד (ḥesed). Shows up 248 times in the Old Testament—mostly Psalms (127 times), then scattered like gold in Proverbs, prophets, history. Core meaning: Steadfast love. Covenant loyalty. Mercy that endures. Kindness that outruns obligation. Not feeling. Not mood. Action. God-sized love that keeps promises when we break ours. Crew—today we wear ḥesed. Not feel it. Wear it. Bind it. Let it show. What’s one place you’re seeing (or needing) steadfast love right now? Drop it below. No fix. Just witness. He’s still abounding. Still enduring. Still yours.

“They did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan…” (Joshua 5:12) Manna stopped. The old provision ended. They stepped into the land flowing with milk and honey—and tasted the new. “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” — Isaiah 43:18-19 2026 isn’t about fixing 2025. It’s about crossing over. The Jordan rivers in your life—those swollen barriers of fear, family whispers, health shadows, old habits—are parting.

Proverbs 1 – The Launch Pad.Solomon’s opening shot. Not gentle intro—it’s a trumpet. The whole book hangs on this chapter. Miss it, and the rest is just clever sayings. Nail it, and every proverb becomes a hammer. Verses 1-6 – The proverbs of Solomon… to know wisdom and instruction… • Purpose statement. Seven goals stacked like ammo: know wisdom (ḥokmâ), instruction (mûsār), understanding words of insight, receive prudent behavior, do justice/righteousness/equity, give prudence to the simple, knowledge/discretion to the young. •Hebrew ḥokmâ isn’t head-knowledge—it’s skill. Like a master craftsman shaping wood. Life-skill from God.• Mûsār = discipline. The rod that hurts but straightens. Not punishment—training. • The book isn’t for experts. It’s for the simple (petî)—the open-minded, the naive, the kid who hasn’t burned his hand yet. And for the wise—to get wiser. No arrival. Only progress. Verse 7 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. •The hinge verse. The motto of the whole book.• Fear = yirʾat YHWH. Not terror. Awe that reorients everything. Like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon—small, silent, respectful. • Beginning = rēʾšît. First in rank, not just time. Foundation. Without it, you’re building on sand. • Fools = ʾĕwîlîm. Not dumb—morally defiant. They despise (bāzû). Actively reject. Wisdom’s right there; they spit on it. • Punch: Every addict, every gossip, every lukewarm saint starts here—despising the fear that would save them. Verses 8-9 – Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching… • First command: listen to parents. Torah-echo (Deut 6).• Garland for head, pendant for neck—beauty, not burden. Obedience isn’t chains; it’s jewelry that makes you shine. Verses 10-19 – Warning against the gang. If sinners entice you, do not consent… • Classic trap: blood-money crew. Feet run to evil, swift to shed blood. Greed disguised as brotherhood.
