He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue. Proverbs 28:23

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty. Proverbs 28:19
Lord…once again we see Solomon teaching his son that he must work if he want to have food.
It is time to harvest the corn and beans here in Illinois. The farmers are up from sun up to sun down working long hours to get the corn and beans harvested. It is for us they have planted and harvested. It is for them for their survival. That is what Solomon wanted his son to learn. He wanted him to work hard and reap the rewards of a hard days work.
Thank You for those that provide our food. There are a lot of people involved that are working extremely hard. Thank You for each one of them.
Thank You Lord.
Amen

If a man is burdened with the blood of another, let him be a fugitive until death; let no one help him. He who walks in integrity will be delivered but he who is perverse in his ways will fall into a pit. Proverbs 28:17, 18
Lord there is such a big difference in these two people that Solomon is warning his son about. One is a person of integrity and the other is a fugitive.
Thank You Lord for giving us the desire to be people with integrity. Thank You for helping us want to become more and more like You.
These are gifts of love from You Lord and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
Amen

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. Proverbs 28:15
