Proverbs 20
Jun 10 in Proverbs
God wants us to live wisely. Proverbs teaches us how God views things:
1) He hates dishonesty and cheats they WILL have to give account. If we are unfairly treated we should not take revenge, commit it to Him, wait on Him for He takes care of His own like the shepherd looks out and takes care of His sheep. God will repay in His time
2) danger of drink…it mocks you for after your situation has not improved. What fools it makes of people…it causes discord, fights, breaks relationships and men become enslaved and it all started with one drink, no alcoholic starting their first drink thought they would become a victim of it.
3) danger of laziness. Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. The love of sleep only leads to poverty.
4) danger of telling tales… don’t listen, don’t pass them on ‘a man is known by the company he keeps’ beware of flattery!
5) be a peacemaker not a troublemaker
6) danger of disrespect to parents. Doing things right ALWAYS brings its rewards.
The Bible, the Word of God: a lamp to your feet a light to your path…God showing you the way ahead…commit today to do things God’s way…promises blessings to you and your children after you.
