5 EVERYDAY PHRASES THAT COME FROM THE BIBLE

1.  BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW

This is a saying used to convey that someone has earned their keep or way through hard work or manuel labor.


This can be found in Genesis 3: 19

“You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it.  For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”


This is not to be confused with the 3 pigs saying of 'by the hair of your chinny chin chin.'   Reading this verse I feel much better about the dust I see in our house all the time.   It's just little pieces of me hanging on the coffee table and such.    Maybe I should put the Pledge away and just enjoy it. Then again…..maybe not.


2.  MAN AFTER YOUR OWN HEART

If you say this about someone it means they are a person with similar tastes and preferences to you


This can be found in 1 Samuel 13:14

"But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.”

Sometimes at Kroger Supermarket I run into a chick after my own cart, but this is not the same thing.

3.  OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES

This saying refers to how often insightful and remarkable wisdom can be spoken by children.

This can be found in Psalm 8:2

"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger."

This saying is not to be confused with what comes out of the mouth of babes onto your clothing when you burp them.

4.  CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

This phrase is usually in the negative form as in 'don't cast your pearls before swine' as it don't offer something of quality to someone who isn't cultured enough to appreciate it or similarly, don't waste something good on someone who isn't worth it.  

This comes from Matthew 7:6     

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.    


I usually prefer my swine fried with a side of eggs and toast.

5.  IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE

This saying refers to something that happens very quickly

This comes from 1 Corinthians 15:52

 'In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. "

All of my silliness aside, this is an exciting verse from the Bible in that it is about the Rapture and our transformed bodies.  Scripture tells us that we will be given new bodies when Christ returns.  New bodies for our new eternal life.   Death has been defeated and we have hope beyond the grave.  That my friends…..is pretty awesome.
