Juxtapose /10:50 PM
I've got to stop reading Time mags, my novels, watching the OC and start picking up my bible to read again. And even through reading the bible, i gained new vocabs!
While reading today...
In proverbs 1-25-27, it talks about warning against rejecting wisdom.
"Since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you -when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you."
I didnt understand what calamity meant so i checked it up.
ca·lam·i·ty (kə-lăm'ĭ-tē) n., pl. -ties.
1.An event that brings terrible loss, lasting distress, or severe affliction; a disaster: A hurricane would be a calamity for this low-lying coastal region.
2.Dire distress resulting from loss or tragedy.
Somehow, by checking it up, it juxtapose the teachings behind the text.
I was actually imparted with a lil wisdom of knowing a new word simply by reading the text which actually talks about accepting God's wisdom!
Uncanny, you may think. For me, I'd like to think that its God's lil work on me =)
