Proverbs 23:22-23

Proverbs 23:22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. 

We have discussed before that your father and your mother only want to help you. You are their own flesh, and they want even better for you than they had themselves.

Be glad when God is good to you and lets your parents live a long time.

The child in the home is to be willingly under the authority of parents with obedient submission to them as the agents of the Lord place over him, obeying parents as if obeying the Lord Himself. The reasoning here is simply that such is the way God has designed and required it.

Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.   

Tell the truth at all cost. Whatever it takes of this world’s goods to learn the truth, do it. This world will pass away, but the truth is eternal. This “buy” is speaking of knowledge and understanding.

Obtain the truth at all costs. Then never relinquish it at any price.

Proverbs 21:20-21

Proverbs 21:20 – In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.    

This proverb is about saving for the future.  Easy credit has many people living on the edge of bankruptcy.  The desire to keep up and to accumulate more pushes them to spend every penny they earn, and they stretch their credit to the limit.  But anyone who spends all he has is spending more than he can afford.  A wise person puts money aside for when he or she may have less.  God approves of foresight and restraint.  God’s people need to examine their lifestyles to see whether their spending is God-pleasing or merely self-pleasing.

Proverbs 21:21 He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

Those who pursue “righteousness” and “mercy” receive more than they seek.

We have read repeatedly that righteousness is being in right standing with God.  We also have read many times that it is Jesus’ righteousness that we take on.  We must accept Jesus as our Savior and we have righteousness.  But this speaks of a walk (followed) in that righteousness and mercy. 

We are told to be merciful because Jesus was merciful to us first.  Righteousness, mercy, and honor for us are a by-product of our salvation.

Proverb 19:21 Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’S purpose that prevails

Man cannot always trust his own heart, but you can always trust the counsel of the Lord. Man must have a brand-new heart engraved with the laws of God before his heart is trustworthy. The counsel of God is found in the Bible.

 Proverbs 19:22: What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. 

 Here again, it must mean a poor, honest man is better than a rich liar. God says He loves a cheerful giver. If a man desires to do good, he will be kind. Rich liars are not kind since their lies bring harm; a kind poor man is more desirable

Over Coming the World

If this is the case, why cannot people overcome their addictions, drugs, smoking, drinking, sex addiction, porn, hate, holding grudges, backbiting, gossiping and the list goes on and on? It is so easy to read scripture, but we need to live out and be the scripture, we need to trust the scripture, and it will not be until we have a come to Jesus meeting and decide today to have or start that personal relationship with the one that lives inside of you, then you will see and experience the power of Jesus. 

Stop dressing up the outside of you, and start building the inside of you with the Holy Spirit who is God. It all starts with excepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, but it does not stop there, it is the continuous building and working on a relationship. And those of you who been saved for a long time, do not think you are all that, because the devil is just waiting for you to let your guard down, and is looking for a chink in your Armor.

Jesus Be Praised!

Proverbs 09:03 Wisdom for the Soul

Under Gods Command

 Proverbs 9:3 She has sent our maids, and she calls from the highest point of the city.

The world’s best woman wants you! She has a house with seven pillars (Pr 9:1). She has prepared a feast (Pr 9:2); she wants to have an intimate meal with you (Pr 9:5). Solomon personified wisdom as a desirable woman, Lady Wisdom. Will you accept her invitation?

Wisdom is available for any man or woman who wants it. It is not far away; it is not difficult to obtain. It is not hard to find; it is not just for the intelligent or educated. There are no age or sex limitations. The only prerequisite is simplicity, or ignorance (Pr 9:4)!

If you are perplexed with any aspect of life, Wisdom is calling you. The blessed LORD God offers wisdom and understanding to men. All they must do is act on the invitation to humble themselves before Him and diligently apply the instruction He freely offers them.

Wisdom is found in creation (Ps 19:1-6), for God revealed His eternal power and Godhead by created things you see. It is also found in parents, teachers, counselors, and pastors (Pr 5:13; 24:6; Mal 2:7; Eph 6:4). But it is mostly found in the Bible (Ps 19:7-11).

The psalmist declared, “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” (Ps 119:130). Scripture can make a minister perfect (II Tim 3:16-17). You should give attention to it, as the only light in this dark world (Is 8:20; II Pet 1:19).

God gave you a manual of wisdom in the Bible! He also promised His Spirit of wisdom to those who ask, and He will give both liberally (Luke 11:13; Eph 1:17; Col 1:9; Jas 1:5). With an offer like Solomon’s dream, do you pray for wisdom and understanding?

Her maidens want your attention. She cries out to you. You cannot please God without her. You need her to be successful or happy. You cannot face God after death without her. If you neglect or reject her call, she will punish your folly (Pr 1:20-32; 8:32-36).

Test your heart about Lady Wisdom right now. Do you appreciate your parents reproving you? Friends correcting you? A pastor warning you? Do you crave the assemblies of the saints, where the Word of God is boldly preached? Even when the sermon is long?

Do you read these proverbs carefully, seeking to extract every morsel of wisdom you can, since they are God’s inspired wisdom from the pen of King Solomon? You do not have to look far to see the maidens Lady Wisdom sent to invite you. What will you do right now?

Jesus Christ is Wisdom personified (I Cor 1:30; Col 2:3). God’s wisdom is seen clearly in the life of Jesus Christ. His apostles, eyewitnesses of His resurrection, preached His gospel throughout the world. Have you believed and obeyed that message of wisdom?

1 Corinthians 9:22-23 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Paul gives several important principles for ministry;
(1) find common ground with those you contact
(2) avoid a know it-all attitude
(3) make others feel accepted
(4) be sensitive to their needs and concerns
(5) look for opportunities to tell them about Christ

Lets Bring it Home: These principles are just as valid for us as they were for Paul.

Under Gods Command

1 Corinthians 7:18-19 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and un-circumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 

The ceremony of circumcision was an important part of the Jews relationship with God. In fact, before Christ came, circumcision was commanded by God for those who claimed to follow him (Genesis 17:9-14). But after Christ’s death, circumcision was no longer necessary (Acts 15; Romans 4:9-11; Galatians 5:2-4; Colossians 2:11).

Lets Bring It Home:Pleasing God and obeying him is more important than observing traditional ceremonies.

Under Gods Command

Lamentations 1:16 – “This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.”

Jeremiah’s sorrow expresses the sorrow of the nation. God is the comforter, but because of the people’s sins, he had to turn away from them and become their judge. When we suffer the consequences of sin, repentance from the sin that caused the problem is the first and most important way to find relief.
