Pray Every Day
Proverbs 14:1-17
Today’s Scripture: A wise woman builds her house. But a foolish woman tears hers down with her own hands. 2 Whoever has respect for the Lord lives a good life. But those who hate him walk down an evil path. 3 The proud words of a foolish person sting like a whip. But the things wise people say keep them safe. 4 Where there are no oxen, the feed box is empty. But a strong ox brings in huge harvests. 5 An honest witness does not lie. But a dishonest witness pours out lies. 6 Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it. But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right. 7 Stay away from a foolish person. You won’t find knowledge in what they say. 8 People are wise and understanding when they think about the way they live. But people are foolish when their foolish ways trick them. 9 Foolish people laugh at making things right when they sin. But honest people try to do the right thing. 10 Each heart knows its own sadness. And no one else can share its joy. 11 The houses of sinners will be destroyed. But the tents of honest people will stand firm. 12 There is a way that appears to be right. But in the end it leads to death. 13 Even when you laugh, your heart can be hurting. And your joy can end in sadness. 14 Those who aren’t faithful will be paid back for what they’ve done.And good people will receive rewards for how they’ve lived. 15 A childish person believes anything. But a wise person thinks about how they live. 16 A wise person has respect for the Lord and avoids evil. But a foolish person has a bad temper and yet feels secure. 17 Anyone who gets angry quickly does foolish things. And a person who is tricky is hated. Prayer Transcript: Lord, this is the day that You have made, we are going to rejoice and be glad in it and thankful that today is a new day and that the old is gone and the new has come, the past is forgiven and as Anne of Green Gables says its like a brand new slate, no mistakes in it. Lord, help us to face today with that sense of glorious anticipation of what You want to do through us. Help us to live in terms with hearing from Your spirit and responding to the spirit . It says, if we live by the Spirit, we will not carry out the desires of the flesh and so Lord, help us to live by the Holy Spirit today. Help us to build our homes, we don’t want to tear them down with our own hands and I would argue also, with our own words. Lord help us to respect and honor You, to worship You today, to look to You. Lord, I know for me, often times, I really probably just need to put on some music and praise You when things get hard. It Helps to re-orient my heart and my mind toward You, instead of only thinking about myself. I think about Peter, as he was walking on the water toward You, as long as he was looking at You, as long as he was worshiping You, as long as he was in awe of You, his eyes steady upon You, he walked and the moment he looked at everything else around him, he sunk. So Lord, help us to have an ethic of worship today, that we would worship You throughout the day, especially when things are hard. Lord, we want to people of integrity, people of honesty, with truth telling on our lips, we do not want to make fun of other people and would you stop us if we start doing that. I love verse 7,
