Proverbs, Chapter 4

4:1 Hear, [my] sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

4:2 For I give you+ good doctrine; Don't forsake+ my law.

4:3 For I was a son to my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

4:4 And he taught me, and said to me: Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding; Don't forget, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

4:6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.

4:7 Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom; Yes, with all your getting get understanding.

4:8 Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.

4:9 She will give to your head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty she will deliver to you.

4:10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of your life will be many.

4:11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in paths of uprightness.

4:12 When you go, your steps will not be straitened; And if you run, you will not stumble.

4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; don't let her go: Keep her; for she is your life.

4:14 Don't enter into the path of the wicked, And don't walk in the way of evil men.

4:15 Avoid it, don't pass by it; Turn from it, and pass on.

4:16 For they don't sleep, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.

4:18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shines more and more to the perfect day.

4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: They don't know at what they stumble.

4:20 My son, attend to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.

4:21 Don't let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart.

4:22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.

4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

4:24 Put away from you a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from you.

4:25 Let your eyes look right on, And let your eyelids look straight before you.

4:26 Make level the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.

4:27 Don't turn to the right hand nor to the left: Remove your foot from evil.

[Wrangler]

If you are full of depression and your marriage is breaking apart while the chldren are left all alone and crying. It is time to go on your knees pray and fast. God has something to tell you. He healeth the broken heart and bindeth the up their wounds. Psalm 147.3  This is a promise from Gods word. Come unto me and I will give you rest. Jesus told all his followers and this promise also is true today as it was thousand of years ago. Prov. 4.16 For they do not sleep except do evil. Dear God deliver us from evil and make our path straight. We pray in Jesus name. Amen

((WE HAVE AS MUCH OF GOD AS WE WANT, AMEN)) Declare His Word and hold on to your confession of hope today. Be confident that God can make a way when there seems to be no way. Even when your mind may waver, don’t allow your confession to waver. Declare that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Declare that He Who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. Remember, there is power in your words and power when your words are in agreement with His Word. As you hold on to your confession of hope, you’ll see His faithfulness, and you’ll move forward into victory in every area of your life keeping his commands. Amen

If you have an argument with someone at work, at home with your spouse or the next door neighbor then is time to stop and think with whom you are having the argument. Could be the devil trying to trip you over and make you sin. Pray silently for the person you are arguing that very moment. Jesus wants us all to be a blessing not a curse. That our words will be to upbuild and grow in the Lord. Never to put someone down Dear Jesus protect us from those who are trying to trip us over and make us sin. Prov. 4.6 Do not forsake wisdom, she will protect you, love her, she will watch over you. What a wonderful promise from God. Wisdom is what we all need to say things that bless others and please bring all your neighbors, spouse, coworkers and friends to church to get saved. To get wisdom from God and to be full of the Holy Spirit. That is what God want us all to do it. Would you do it for Jesus today?

 A lot of people have been devastated because their inability to deal with grief. Someone dies and they also die. Something bad comes along they become so worry and fearful that they also will suffer something bad. There is nothing to worry or fear about. Jesus has promised to give us His peace and joy. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth you. Do not worry my little children.  What a confort it is to lean on the everlasting arms of God. If it was not for Him were we would be? Do not enter the path of wicked. And do not walk in the way of evil man. Prov. 4.14  If we disobey this command that God has given to us... then the devil will bring all kinds of whispers on our ears to make us fearful, worry, sad and lonely.  Because the love of the world is against the love of God.  Love not the world nor the things of the world. If you love the world the love of the Father is not in you.  Let us follow Gods advise and be happy and enjoy this life with Him.

 

[Macdermott]

Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing. Being faithful into every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Colo. 1.10  Dear God, I want to walk worth of You every day of my life. I want to please you and abey your holy word.  Those who go away from you or fall into the deceitful voice of the devil loose the blessings you want ot bestow upon those You love.  We just bless and honor your holy name.  Your faithfulness is from everlasting to everlasting to those who faithfully serve you.  Prov. 4.5  Get wisdom get understanding. Do not forget.  We just want ot do this because getting wisdom and understanding will lead us to heaven our ultimate home.  Blessed Jesus, wonderful Lord. Thank you for your love to us all. In Your name we pray. Amen

Praise God for sending to us the greatest gift there is. Of course the atheists and the evolutionist will say otherwise it is just a fable, a story invented by monks. We need to pray and fast very hard for all atheists and agnostics to get saved and believe in Jesus as their personal saviour and Lord. Proverbs 4.14a Do not enter into the path of the wicked. If you believe the lies that the abortionists are telling women today that the fetus is only a piece of skin that can be discarded and thrown away. That is a lie from hell. We need to pray for all evolutionist also to get saved. Dear Jesus do not allow us to enter into the path of the wicked nor believe their lies. No moral standards and no God at all. What an empty life they have. Please save their souls today we pray in Jesus name. Amen

 

[Urban]

My beloved brothers and sisters. Here is a warning from Jesus from His word.  I am coming quickly.  Hold firmly all that you have. So that no one takes your crown away from you. Revelation 3.11  Jesus is coming soon and let us work hard to get our crown of life which will be given by God.  Prov. 4.19  The way of the wicked is as darkness. They do not know where they stumble.  Please pray for all the wicked you see on the street, on the road, on the job and wherever you are. Please ask Jesus to save their souls and that God will come to change their lives.

 

[Stuart]

Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. Phil. 4.6  He hears from heaven and sends blessings that we are not being able to hold it. Trust in Him at all times and He will give you the desires of your heart. Proverbs 4.10  Hear O my son, and receive my sayings.  Yes Lord Jesus we are listening and reading what you told us to do. To visit the widows and the orphans in their need and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world.  Bless our midweek services Lord Jesus and bring new souls to get saved and to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit we pray in Your name. Amen

 

[Jurgen]

Are you in a strugle and the flesh tell you one thing while the Spirit of God is telling you another. Then you are not alone. All faithful Christians are going through the same dilemma. But do not be discouraged. Jesus is on the throne and He is the one who tries the heart of each one of us. We really faithful to the end?  Are we willing to die for Jesus?  Is He the center of your life?  If so, do not worry. He is near your heart today. But the path of the rightious is as the dawning light. Prov.4.18a  May the light that Jesus shine on us will be the light that we shed on those who are perishing and it seems there is no one to help.

 

[Orville]

Yes, I am willing to die for Jesus anywhere and evewhere He sends me. Please pray for the missionaries and those who work for God faithfully Lift high the cross of Jesus. He is our redeemer and Lord. He will protect you when you are in trouble and will lift you up when you are down. Please dear brothers and sisters. Do not forsake wisdom Prov. 4.6a He will protect you and give you insight for all your work that is done for Jesus. We are praying for those who are weak in their faith in Jesus. Please God. Give strenght to those who are weak and show them the way of everlasting life. In Jesus name. Amen
