He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. Do not reprove a scoffer or he will hate you; reprove a wise man and he will love you. Proverbs 9:7, 8

It is often hard to keep our mouths shut in the heat of the challenges. Thank You for reminding us Lord that we can’t win with a scoffer or someone that is evil and full of hate.

Keep our eyes on You Lord and our thoughts pure.

We love You Lord and thank You for Your guidance.

Wisdom has built her house, she has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out her maids to call from the highest places in the town, “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who is without sense she says, “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Leave simpleness and live, and walk in the way of insight. Proverbs 9:1 – 6

Lord once again ‘wisdom’ speaks and shows us that it is very wise to work until we have everything in order. She is wise in making sure nothing has been left until tomorrow. Oh what a lesson for us to learn.

Lord we all need Your help in this very, fast paced environment we live in today.

Thank You for ‘wisdom’ Lord because it helps us every moment of every day.

Thank You. Thank You Lord.

Amen

Thank You for providing the wisdom we need to help us through this life.

The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have counsel and sound wisdom, I have insight, I have strength. Proverbs 8:13, 14

Lord who of us doesn’t hate evil. We all do. Evil is probably only 1% of our population and yet the havoc it causes is beyond our words to describe it.

Thank You Lord for putting in our hearts the desire to shun all evil.

Thank You for helping us through the difficulties that evil puts us through when it is thrust upon us.

Thank You for Your wisdom and knowledge showing us ways to combat the evil that is in this world today.

Thank You.

Thank You Lord.

There are six things which the Lord hates, seven which are an abomination to Him; haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies and a man who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:16 – 19

Lord we sure would hope and pray that none of these things that You hate are in our lives. Certainly it is our goal and desire not to harbor one of them in our hearts.

We need never fear harboring these thoughts and actions when we let You control our lives and we thank You.

Thank You for spelling out via Solomon all that displeases You.

Thank You that we have You to run to for help and guidance.

Thank You Lord. Thank You!

Amen and Amen
