Proverbs 24, Warning those who are going to the slaughter!

Pro 24:1-2, Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.

There are times when evil men seem to prosper, and many would become envious of their prosperity. Know this, it’s only temporary, there is no future for them and their lives will be put out!

Pro 24:20, FOR THERE WILL BE NO PROSPECT FOR THE EVIL MAN; THE LAMP OF THE WICKED WILL BE PUT OUT. 

Pro 24:3-4, Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

By understanding & wisdom a home is built with the schematics of an architect; it’s the same for the moral values of a home! Building a family in the wisdom and understanding of the LORD is true wisdom; for the foundation of our homes are built on the ROCK!

Mat 7:24-25, “THEREFORE WHOEVER HEARS THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to A WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK.

Pro 24:11, Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.

There are so many people headed the wrong way, and have no clue what’s awaits them in the end! AS CHRISTIANS WE MUST WARN PEOPLE OF THE COMING JUDGEMENT

Pro 24:12, IF YOU SAY, “SURELY WE DID NOT KNOW THIS,” Does not HE who weighs the hearts consider it? HE who keeps your soul, does HE not know it? And will HE not render to each man according to his deeds?

If, we don’t warn people of the coming judgement then their blood is in our hands! We can’t say, “We didn’t know”; for we know HIS word!

Eze 3:18-19, When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ AND YOU GIVE HIM NO WARNING, NOR SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS LIFE, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; BUT HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. YET, IF YOU WARN THE WICKED, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; BUT YOU HAVE DELIVERED YOUR SOUL.

Rev 22:12, “AND BEHOLD, I AM COMING QUICKLY, AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.

Psalm 127, Trusting in the LORD

Psa 127:1a, UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN WHO BUILD IT;

Building a home without the solid foundation of CHRIST JESUS, ultimately it is in vain, and leads to destruction! But, a home built on HIS word is strong!

1Co 3:11, FOR NO OTHER FOUNDATION CAN ANYONE LAY THAN THAT WHICH IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST.

Mat 7:24, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I WILL LIKEN HIM TO A WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK: 

Psa 127:1b, UNLESS THE LORD GUARDS THE CITY, THE WATCHMAN STAYS AWAKE IN VAIN.

Remember, men can only be trusted for so much for we are mere dust! BUT the LORD never sleeps and HE is always watching!

Psa 121:3-4, HE will not allow your foot to be moved; HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER. Behold, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.

Psa 127:2, It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; FOR SO HE GIVES HIS BELOVED SLEEP.

Those that truly put their trust in the LORD can rest without anxiety! HE IS FAITHFUL!

Php 4:6-7, BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD; AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.

Psa 127:3-4, Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.

As we work and build our homes in CHRIST JESUS, HE may bless us with children! Kids are truly a blessing from the LORD, and it is our job to guide them in the way of CHRIST!

Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT. 

Remember, every single one of us have a role to play in building their homes! Going out and working hard for your family, or staying home feeding and teaching your kids. We need to do it in CHRIST JESUS the creator of all things!

Heb 3:4, For every house is built by someone, BUT HE WHO BUILT ALL THINGS IS GOD.

Psalm 125, Trust in the LORD!

Psa 125:1, THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD ARE LIKE MOUNT ZION, WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED, BUT ABIDES FOREVER.

Those that truly know HIM, know that HE is always present, will never be moved! No storm (trial) will ever move the believer for HE is faithful to those that trust in HIS name!

Mat 7:24-25, “THEREFORE WHOEVER HEARS THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to a WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK.

Psa 125:2, As the mountains surround Jerusalem, SO THE LORD SURROUNDS HIS PEOPLE FROM THIS TIME FORTH AND FOREVER. 

HE is like the air around us; always present no matter where we go! HE is faithful, and will never leave nor forsake those that love HIM!

Deu 31:8, And the LORD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES BEFORE YOU. HE WILL BE WITH YOU, HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU; DO NOT FEAR NOR BE DISMAYED.” 

Psa 125:4, DO GOOD, O LORD, TO THOSE WHO ARE GOOD, AND TO THOSE WHO ARE UPRIGHT IN THEIR HEARTS. 

The Psalmist prayed that the LORD would do good to those who are good! YET, THE LORD DID GOOD TO THOSE THAT WERE NOT GOOD, BUT WERE IN THEIR SINS!

Rom 5:8, But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 

2Pe 3:9, … but is longsuffering toward us, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. 

This is why HE sent HIS only SON to die on the cross of calvary for the sins of all! SALVATION IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GIFT WE WILL EVER RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT COST HIM EVERYTHING!

Psa 32:2, BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD DOES NOT IMPUTE INIQUITY, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

HE is the ROCK of our faith, and in HIM we will never be moved! Trust in the LORD for HE is good, and soon we will see HIM face to FACE! BE READY!

Psalm 28, the ROCK!

Psa 28:1, TO YOU I WILL CRY, O LORD MY ROCK: DO NOT BE SILENT TO ME, LEST, IF YOU ARE SILENT TO ME, I BECOME LIKE THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT. 

The new testament tells us to build on the ROCK for when storms arise we will not be moved! A SURE SOLID FOUNDATION IS HE!

Luk 6:48, …AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON THE ROCK. AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM BEAT VEHEMENTLY AGAINST THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK. 

Moses once said “PLEASE, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY” and the LORD placed him on the ROCK! FOR ONLY THOSE ON THE ROCK WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIS GLORY!

Exo 33:22, So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 

David knew without guidance from the LORD his ROCK, he would end up in the pit of hell!

Deu 32:3-4, FOR I PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE GREATNESS TO OUR GOD. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.

Psa 28:2, Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

As a son crying for his FATHER; David cried out to the LORD! Hear me LORD! At times it may appear like the LORD isn’t doing anything, but it only looks that way! FOR HE IS ALWAYS WORKING ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!

Psa 37:25, I HAVE BEEN YOUNG, AND NOW AM OLD; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

Psa 121:4, BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. 

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND! SEEK HIS FACE DAILY FOR HE THE ROCK OF OUR STRENGTH; A SURE AND SOLID FOUNDATION! SPEAK TO THE ROCK AND HE WILL GIVE YOU LIVING WATER!
