DRUNKENESS & GLUTTONY

A tough Scripture after Thanksgiving day. “Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags.” Proverbs 23:20,21

PUBLIC DEFENDER

There is a definite need for lawyers to defend those who cannot speak for themselves; especially those who have not been born yet. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless and see that they get justice.” Proverbs 31:8,9 NLT

JEALOUSY

Which is worse, anger, wrath, or jealousy. “Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.” Proverbs 27:4 NLT

SELF-CONTROL

Someone prayed, “Lord remind me that it takes 40 muscles to frown, 20 muscles to smile and only 5 muscles to make a fist and punch someone’s mouth.” Most of us do not need that reminder. Proverbs 25:28 says, “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”

PREDICT THE WEATHER?

We can't predict next weeks weather accurately, how can we predict what the weather will be like in 100 years? Likewise we don't know if we'll even be alive tomorrow, so don't put off for tomorrow what we can do today. "Don't brag about tomorrow, since you don't know what the day will bring." Proverbs 27:1 NLT And how about the time to receive Jesus as your Savior? "...the right time is now. Today is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2 NLT

CURSE OR A SPELL

Do you believe in the power of a curse or spell? Proverbs 26:2 says, “Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.” The Message puts it this way, “You have as little to fear from an undeserved curse as from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.” remember what Jesus did, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us...” Galatians 3:13

LOYALTY

The marriage vows include, “for better or worse…”. Too often when the going gets tough many quit. “Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable!” Proverbs 20:6 NLT
Jesus asked, “'Do you also want to go away?' But Peter answered, 'To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.'” John 6:67,68
