A wicked man puts on a bold face but an upright man considers his ways. Proverbs 21:29
It is obvious Lord that Solomon wanted to keep his son away from evil people. Over and over he talks to him about the difference being evil can be in lives. He warned him over and over and often showed him how rewarding it was to be good.
These are our guidelines too Lord. We want to be more and more like You. Thank You for showing us the way.
Thank You Lord.
Amen

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent. Proverbs 21:27
Lord ….I think Solomon was trying to teach his son that there would be people that acted like they loved You but really they were liars and imposters.
Today Lord we too can be fooled by those that are excellent actors. They say all the right things to win us over but they are wicked.
Thank You for the people that love You Lord and are honest.
Thank You for changing us and giving us a desire that longs to change into Your image.
We have much to praise and thank You for.
Thank You Lord.
Amen

The desire of the sluggard kills him for his hands refuse to labor. Proverbs 21:25
Lord how sad it is when people don’t want to work.
Solomon continues to warn his son like my parent warned us six children…..’if you don’t work you don’t eat.’ Their warning worked for all of us. We all have enjoyed the work You called us to and provided for us.
You give each one of us gifts to use and working is one of those gifts given to all. We all have a very special place in this life. Thank You Lord for giving us the ability to work.
Thank You Lord.
Amen

Precious treasure remains in a wise man’s dwelling but a foolish man devours it. Proverbs 21:20
Lord ….I had to read another translation to see what this verse truly meant.
The Living Bible says, “ A wise man saves for the future but the foolish man spends whatever he gets.”
This is Solomon’s wisdom to help his son survive in his lifetime. What great advice for us too Lord. Thank You.
Thank You Lord.
Amen
