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!

 

[Marsha]

I am so grateful for Jesus word today. We need to read it every single day of our life. It is the daily bread we need. Fill us o Lord with Thy word today and every day of our life. Amen

 

[Greeterdan]

Jesus is our best friend ever. There is a reason why verse 17 says. A friend loves at all times. Yes, that is so true. If you love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul, then He will be with you always, to protect you, to guide you, to help you and to heal you.

 

[Macdermott]

Continue to read God's word. It is food for our souls. God bless each comment.

 

[Bartonn]

Jesus is our best friend ever. Just like this wonderful verse says. A friend loves at all times. I am so glad Jesus is my friend and confidant. Merciful beyond description. He took away all of my sins and guilt from my heart. Praise His holy name. Amen

 

[Appell]

Let us all fast and pray for those rebellious people who need the Lord. Just as the wonderful verse says. An evil man seeketh only rebellion. Dear Jesus, save those evil men and women who seek only rebellion. Save them all we pray. Amen

 

[Bramington]

There is no one like Jesus, full of love, mercy and compassion. He has come to earth to save us from going to hells burning fire. He gave me a merry heart to honor and praise His holy name. Prov. 17:22. I am so grateful to Him for being so kind to me.

 

[Thomstonn]

Lovely verse that made me think deep in my own soul. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. V.22 Only Jesus can bring happiness and joy in our life. When we are hurt and all alone in this world, Jesus comes along our path and say. Come to Me, I will give you peace.

 

[Topinka]

Jesus is my best Friend ever. Just as this wonderful verse says. A friend loves at all times v17. Thank you Jesus for being there when I need You.
