Ecclesiastes 2:3

Ecclesiastes 2:3 (KJV)
3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

Finished My Study On Proverbs

I give God praise for working through me in these last five months of reading and studying Proverbs. I have gained so much knowledge and wisdom from each passage of scripture.

Today’s Prayer (09/12/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that myself and others will stay away from the things we do not need in this life. May our coveting days be over. Draw us away from the things of this world and into Your love. Help break our bad habits, that we may seek You instead of the lusts of our hearts. I know how bad things can get when we follow after the lusts of our hearts instead of follow You. So many things I have gained and wish I could change and I know now that all of these things are vanity. None of it was worth living for, for it all led to sorrow and guilt. I may have had good things for a time but then my family suffered because of finances. I may have had pleasure through sexual sin but then my burdens were heavy and I was left in shame. These things left a dark cloud over my head and I am so sorry for the people I have hurt, because of all this. I have sinned against myself, others and You. And for this, I am thankful for Your mercy. You didn’t have to take me in and cleanse me from my sins but You did so anyways. You saw the prodigal coming and had compassion for my soul. Thank You Lord. I now realize that this life is meaningless, if You are not in it. I need You every day of my life. I trust in You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.

Vanity

If you feel impelled to have the best things in life, those things that you gain are all vanity. Also, the things that we do not need but gain anyways is only acting out of covetousness.

Matthew 16:24-26

Matthew 16:24-26 (KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Ecclesiastes 1:2,3

Ecclesiastes 1:2,3 (KJV)
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

Today’s Prayer (09/11/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray for every broken marriage out there. I know the pains and sorrows that comes along with marriages such as this, and it pains me to know that so many people that I know and love are suffering. I was suffering for many years in a broken marriage and can understand how it is. However, I also know that things can get better, as I have found, by putting my trust in You. Your love is what has helped me show love to my wife. Even when I was incapable of this in the beginning, my faith in You, was enough to begin to show her love like never before. My marriage has truly been flipped upside down. You have restored the love that I was missing. Because of this, I know that the missing link in any marriage, is You, Jesus. All these dear people’s pains and sorrows can be no more if they just put their trust in You, God. They don’t need something better than what they have in their spouse but Your love to makes things better. All their anger and bitterness can be put to rest when Your love takes control of us. We may be incapable of being a faithful spouse but our faith in You changes everything. Even the way we treat our spouse can be much different, when our desires are to love as You love us. I know that You are all powerful and can do all things. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.

A Virtuous Spouse

If your marriage has problems now, because of an unfaithful or unbelieving spouse, know that this can all be fixed with God’s hand in your lives.

Proverbs 31:30

Proverbs 31:30 (KJV)
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Today’s Prayer (09/10/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, please open the eyes of those that are in darkness. Lead these people out of the mess that they are in and into Your light. May they realize how wicked they have become and desire to be made free today. To every person that has fallen into the adulterous lifestyle, I pray that they may find to a way out. May they understand the damage they have caused to the people around them and their soul. This way of living has damaged the way they think and act around the opposite sex. These images are now written in their hearts and minds and will be a daily reminder, lest they repent and be made right with You today. Only You can change us and destroy every act of sin. We may be unable to escape the grasps of temptation but You make us capable. We are conquerors with You in our lives. Everything that has ever been written inside of us can be replaced with Your Words. I know that since I have been delivered over from my adulterous ways, anyone can. Yes Lord, You have restored me into a life of love, joy, happiness and peace. My life has never been the same. It has been flipped upside down and it is all because of You, Jesus. Thank You for saving me. I am so grateful for Your mercy. I love You Lord. Amen.

Adultery

What foolishness, to blatantly fall into sin, when you know better. Don’t people realize that such things causes a rift between them and God?

Proverbs 30:32

Proverbs 30:32 (KJV)
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Proverbs 30:20

Proverbs 30:20 (KJV)
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

Today’s Prayer (09/09/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, please spark an interest in every believers heart to read the Bible daily, that they may not be led astray. Also help them find a translation, like the King James Version Bible, that is Word for Word. May they do their homework on the Bible translation that they have before diving into it. It is sad to see people read translations that are missing your plain and precious parts. Every time this happens, these people’s mind are being clouded and the full truth is never taught. I pray that these people that are in this mess now may change their ways and read a translation that is Word for Word. And Lord, my heart aches to see so many people being led to believe that Your truths are also found in books outside the Bible. These lies are being bought by so many people and it is hard to see them go astray. I was once a part of a church that taught this and am so happy that You have brought me out of it. Thank You for opening my eyes to the truthfulness of Your gospel, that is only found in the Bible. Your Words are now found in my heart, mind and soul, that I may not be led astray again. I just wish that more people would be able to understand the truths of Your Words. Maybe then, will they stop finding fault in Your Words and put aside these other translations and books. May everyone that is lost, have their eyes opened today. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.

The Bible Is God’s Word

Because people cannot always be trusted, do not let them tell you that God’s Word is also found outside the Bible, in other books.

Revelation 22:11,12

Revelation 22:11,12 (KJV)
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Today’s Prayer (09/08/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Lord, we come before You, this day, and declare that we need You. We know that we are a sinner and need Your blood to cover us. We are sorry for putting You off and not seeking You as we should. We know that the things of this world have clouded our minds and that we have hurt You in these things. So many times we have done things that You despise. Please forgive us in all these things. We no longer wish to follow the temptation of the devil but to heed Your commands. We wish to be cleansed of all this wickedness, Lord. Hear our confessions and have mercy upon our souls. We know that You are our Savior and the only person that can save us in this life. Though, we have walked in darkness for so long, we know that You can change our hearts and minds today. So please come now and renew our souls. Bring life into our lives, once again. Give us vision, Lord. Help us know where to walk, in this life. May Your Words, of the Bible, bring clarity to our minds. We trust in You Lord. All things are possible with You in our lives. Surely, we are more than conquerors, for You have saved us from the fall. Our hope is in You, God. We love You. Amen.

Seek First What God Commands

If people could just realize how evil they have become, and how it affects other people and God, maybe they’d be more willing to change their lives.

Proverbs 29:25-27

Proverbs 29:25-27 (KJV)
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Proverbs 29:22-24

Proverbs 29:22-24 (KJV)
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

Proverbs 29:16-18

Proverbs 29:16-18 (KJV)
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

John 4:13,14

John 4:13,14 (KJV)
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Today’s Prayer (09/06/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, may we all become righteous in You today. Help everyone understand what this means, that they may turn from their sins and repent. I know that many people have been found disregarding the needs of the poor but still call themselves Christian. This saddens me to see people feel that they are secure in their faith when there is no love for those in need. When you said that the righteous feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked and visit the sick and in prison, I am listening. I know that doing these things are what true Christians do and are like, because You said it. We are not just to believe but live out our faith as Your Word says. And if our lives are not doing these things now, we ought to repent, that Your Holy Spirit will come in and change us. We know that we are incapable of doing these things to the fullest extent but with You in our lives, we can do all things. Even when we are short on time, if there is a need and we are prompted, we are willing to drop it all for You and care for that one person in need. It is for Your glory God. It is not to make us look good but to benefit the lives of those around us. Our love for You is what extends into the people’s around us. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.
