Proverbs Chapter 17

I so love the Book of Proverbs! In this chapter, the verse, "Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker;" speaks to me in a very strong way. I work security in a hospital in a bad area. The homeless often come in and pretend to be suicidal just for a place to stay. We often have to turn them away. Then they will say they need to be seen in ER, so that they can sleep for a couple of hours in our beds. It is so easy to become cynical after dealing with it every single day. These are the times that I need to remember where I come from, and not judge them, but pray for and encourage them. I needed this Scripture reading today! Have a great day, brothers and sisters in Christ!

 

[Willah]

Whoever rewarded evil for good, evil shall not depart trom his house.  Proverbs 17.13  If you have helped someone to find a job in your company and then they let you get fired so they can take over your position is evil.  However, we should pray for those souls that take advantage of our goodness and at the end they do evil to us.  Please Jesus, save the souls of those who pay evil for good.  May the mercy and compassion of Jesus come to their hearts today. Amen

 

[Maureen]

From the ends of the earth I call to You. I call as my heart grows faint.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  Psalm 61.2   This should be our hearts desire.  To be near the heart of Jesus.  Our rock and fortress.  Call unto Him and He will answer thee. He that covered a transgression seeketh love.  Prov. 17.9a  Jesus loves us all and He has carried our transgressions on the cross.  What a wonderful example of love toward others and to me who has saved me and healed me from  cancer.  I will ever praise and honor His holy name now and forever and ever. Amen

 

[Greyington]

His word is eternal and we must read it and obey what it says. 

 

[Hank]

A wicked person travels with wicked people and you must pray for them when you are in the buss station, or the airport. There are a lot of wicked people that need our prayers. A wicked doer gives heed to false lips. Prov. 17.4 This wicked people are full of stress and fear, they cannot sleep well at night and drink so much that they have no money for rent. Pray and fast for them and ask the landlord to open up a prayer center and a bible study at the premises so all wicked people will get saved through the power of the blood of Jesus.

 

[Savanathah]

Jesus came to pay the debt He did no owe.  We should be thanful for thay. 

 

[Arthurington]

Grow your faith with the word of God today.

 

[Kathie]

Precious Lord Jesus, in this Easter seaons we want to read your word daily and pray for other so they too will do the same thing. In Your name. AMen

 

[Morrisenn]

Praise the Lord Jesus for victory is coming through His blood shed on Calvary.  Give honor to God for His mercy endures forever.

 

[Antonn]

It is a terrible thing to look upon those less fortunate and do nothing for them.  The only reason you are not poor like the one who roam the streets is because of the grace of our Lord Jesus who has blessed you with all kinds of material possesions.  Pray for those who are poor and destitute.  Take them to church and save the souls of the lost.  Prov. 17.5a  Whosoever mocket the poor reproacheth his Maker. 

 

[Allentown]

If we hear somthing bad said about someone else, pray, fast and ask Jesus to change the situation. Do not gossip about someone else and do them harm. Set an example just like Jesus did. Praying for those who rejected Him and did evil against Him. Jesus said. Forgive them Father, for they do not know what they do. He that covered a transgression seeketh love. Prov. 17.9a
