Some Things Are Worth Repeating

Do you ever catch yourself repeating yourself?  Our mates and friends hear us tell the same stories over and over again.  But I figure if it’s worth telling in the first place, it bears repeating.  If it’s a story I want to tell again, I want my wife and friends to love me enough to listen courteously and act like they enjoy it.  Thank you in advance of my repetitions.

Wise King Solomon wrote many stories, psalms and proverbs and he repeated himself.  For instance, Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”  Then in Proverbs 16:25 he wrote, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”  Did he forget that he had written that proverb, or could it be that it’s just important enough to say twice or more.  I believe it’s just so essential an idea that it needs double emphasis.

There is a method to many ideas humans come up with.  Philosophies, religious practices, social norms, traditions and such all have some reasoning behind them, but without the foundation of God designed truth, they will most certainly lead to death.  Again, philosophies, religious practices, social norms, traditions and such all have some reasoning behind them, but without the foundation of God designed truth, they will most certainly lead to death. There, I just repeated myself again.  Solomon and I agree.  This is a concept we all need to hear over and over again.
