Proverbs 6:1-15, the lazy and the wicked!

Pro 6:1-2, My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, YOU ARE SNARED BY THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH; YOU ARE TAKEN BY THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH.

This isn’t loaning someone money it’s more like cosigning a loan or being responsible for a someone else’s open line of credit! It’s a bad idea; people will fail you and you will be stuck with the bill!

Psa 37:21, THE WICKED BORROWS AND DOES NOT REPAY, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS SHOWS MERCY AND GIVES. 

Pro 6:6-8, GO TO THE ANT, YOU SLUGGARD! CONSIDER HER WAYS AND BE WISE, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.

No other insect is more laborious than the ant. They work hard to provide food for the winter month! Laziness is a sin for JESUS HIMSELF, the creator of heaven and earth came, came to serve, not to be served! Matthew 20:28!

Joh 5:17, But JESUS answered them, “MY FATHER has been working until now, and I have been working.” 

Pro 6:9-11, How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep— SO SHALL YOUR POVERTY COME ON YOU LIKE A PROWLER, AND YOUR NEED LIKE AN ARMED MAN.

Laziness will only bring poverty, but sleep is sweet to a hardworking man/woman!

Ecc 5:12, THE SLEEP OF A LABORING MAN IS SWEET, WHETHER HE EATS LITTLE OR MUCH; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep. 

Pro 6:12-14, A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.

In the eyes of GOD no man is worthless for JESUS died for all. Solomon described a lazy man then went to a wicked man; often their appearances look the same!

Jas 1:21, Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE IMPLANTED WORD, WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOULS. 

Pro 6:15, THEREFORE HIS CALAMITY SHALL COME SUDDENLY; SUDDENLY HE SHALL BE BROKEN WITHOUT REMEDY.

Psalm 140, Life or Death you choose!

Psa 140:1-2, …Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men, WHO PLAN EVIL THINGS IN THEIR HEARTS; They continually gather together for war.

David suffered many times from evil men that were around him; those whom contemplated evil in their hearts! But, David went straight to the LORD for help! The LORD is his defense!

2Co 10:4, For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal BUT MIGHTY IN GOD FOR PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

Psa 140:3, THEY SHARPEN THEIR TONGUES LIKE A SERPENT; THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS. SELAH 

There are many people around us who even call themselves Christians, but their hearts are filled with evil thoughts. With their tongue they speak lies behind your back, and unknowingly they reject what the LORD wants to give them! A NEW HEART!

Eze 36:26, I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART AND PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE OUT OF YOUR FLESH AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH. 

It’s a choice we all have to make; choose HIM or choose the way of this world!

Deu 30:19, I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING; THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS MAY LIVE; 

If indeed you are a believer in CHRIST JESUS, then put away your former conduct. Remember, HE knows the thoughts and desires of your heart!

Eph 4:21-24, IF INDEED YOU HAVE HEARD HIM AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM, AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS:  THAT YOU PUT OFF, CONCERNING YOUR FORMER CONDUCT, THE OLD MAN WHICH GROWS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS, AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND, AND THAT YOU PUT ON THE NEW MAN WHICH WAS CREATED ACCORDING TO GOD, IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.

Pro 14:12, THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN, BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH.

Psalm 73, Why do the wicked prosper?

Psa 73:1-3, …Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart. BUT AS FOR ME, MY FEET HAD ALMOST STUMBLED; MY STEPS HAD NEARLY SLIPPED. FOR I WAS ENVIOUS OF THE BOASTFUL, WHEN I SAW THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED.

GOD is good to the pure at heart, but when he saw the prosperity of the wicked, he almost stumbled! WHY? Why are they prospering in their wickedness; they have a better life than most people?

Job 21:7, Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power? 

Psa 73:4-5, For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.

Other men are plagued by financial hardships in the death of a family member, but the wicked, in their prosperity, don’t suffer at all?

Psa 73:9,11, They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth… And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”

GOD DOESN’T SEE WHAT WE DO, GOD DOESN’T KNOW; WHY WORRY IT’S ALL GOOD!

Hos 7:2, THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IN THEIR HEARTS THAT I REMEMBER ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS; NOW THEIR OWN DEEDS HAVE SURROUNDED THEM; THEY ARE BEFORE MY FACE. 

Psa 73:13-14, SURELY I HAVE CLEANSED MY HEART IN VAIN, And washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.

THEY LIVE AWESOME LIVES IN THEIR WICKEDNESS, YET I SUFFER DAILY? SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT?

Psa 73:16-17, When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. 

Pro 23:17-18, Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; FOR SURELY THERE IS A HEREAFTER, AND YOUR HOPE WILL NOT BE CUT OFF.

MANY BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU DIE IT’S OVER. YET, DEATH IS THE START OF THEIR TRUE LIVES IN CHRIST FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND TRUSTED IN THE LORD! FOR THE WICKED IT’S TIME TO PAY FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS FOREVER!

Psalm 51, David admits his guilt!

Psa 51:1-2, …HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O GOD, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my TRANSGRESSIONS. WASH ME THOROUGHLY FROM MY INIQUITY, AND CLEANSE ME FROM MY SIN.

King David knows he is guilty before GOD and pleads for mercy from the LORD!

2Sa 12:9, WHY HAVE YOU DESPISED THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD, to do evil in HIS sight? YOU HAVE KILLED URIAH THE HITTITE WITH THE SWORD; YOU HAVE TAKEN HIS WIFE TO BE YOUR WIFE, AND HAVE KILLED HIM WITH THE SWORD OF THE PEOPLE OF AMMON. 

David tried to make it look as if Uriah was killed by the people of Ammon, and the good king took his grieving wife to comfort her? Nothing can be further from the truth!

Psa 51:3, 6, FOR I ACKNOWLEDGE MY TRANSGRESSIONS, AND MY SIN IS ALWAYS BEFORE ME…. BEHOLD, YOU DESIRE TRUTH IN THE INWARD PARTS, AND IN THE HIDDEN PART YOU WILL MAKE ME TO KNOW WISDOM. 

Man tries to cover his outward appearance before men, but the darkest thoughts of men is clearly visible to GOD! WE HAVE TO BE TRUTHFUL INWARDLY AS WELL AS EXTERNALLY; FOR THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE HEART OF ALL MEN!

Luk 6:45, A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKS.

Pro 4:23, Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. 

Psa 51:10-11, CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD, AND RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN ME. DO NOT CAST ME AWAY FROM YOUR PRESENCE, AND DO NOT TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME.

Jer 17:9-10, “THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT? I, THE LORD, SEARCH THE HEART, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

Pro 20:9, Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”? 

WE HAVE TO BE HONEST TO OURSELVES AND NOT COVER ANYTHING UP FOR THAT IS USELESS, BECAUSE HE SEES ALL!
