Proverbs 29

Sep 08 in Proverbs

The Bible tells us to pray for those in authority, why? Because their actions affect the whole nation. In the same way parents actions affect the whole family. They can affect it either for good or for evil, we need to pray that they will establish justice and not be affected by lies or bribes, open their hearts to the poor and be discerning in the actions and choices they make.

This chapter also talks about the wisdom of knowing right from wrong, we are living in a liberal age where if it feels ok you are told it IS ok, but this book tells us that if you do wrong you have the consequences of wrong and that you are not disciplined it brings shame. It is better to walk in truth and good advice, to discipline your feelings, control your spirit and show restraint before temptations. The choices you make shape your life and make you YOU. We have a God who we can ask for help in making the right decisions, who we can trust and who gives us the ability to do what is right. Ask Him today, He is willing and waiting.
