“Dry
Crusty Bread”
Proverbs
17:1; Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with
strife. Sounds like Christmas Eve
family get together to me. You’re
looking for that crusty piece of bread and that peace before the in-laws and the
outlaws get there. Oh don’t tell
me you don’t have that because every family does.
Mine is full with outlaws and in-laws and not necessarily mine.
This reminds me of a song “Better is One Day”, you know the song,
better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere.
Oh yeah, that’s a Psalm too:
Psalm
84:10
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
Psalm
84:9-11 (in
Context) Psalm
84 (Whole
Chapter)
I
think that is what Solomon is getting at in this verse of Proverbs.
I would rather be in heaven eating dry crusty bread than having to
continue an eternity here. I have
found several profound wisdoms here in this chapter read it with an open heart.
