Proverbs 19:27 What you begin to see that the word of God does not
matter to people. You do want the word of God in you and you don’t
want to turn your ear away from the law.
Proverbs 28:9 It is not good just to tell anybody to just pray it if that
person is not wanting to be right. Some people pray and their prayer is
really selfish. Abomination is a bad word. How many people believe this
scripture? You need to be very truthful about your spiritual health to get
a prayer through to God.
Have you ever been stubborn and did not want to hear the word of
God? God is never wrong and everything is always in his control.
Hebrews 12:1-17 Some time you need to get things out of your life
that are slowing you down- like you are running a race. Verse 3- The
word tells us to consider Jesus. He did everything right and he still got
mistreated and got killed. Verse 4- Most people’s troubles are not the
same as what Jesus went through and even as some of the other
people in the bible. A lot of people are so fortunate as they have not
gone through certain things. A lot of people have so much and have
been blessed with so many things. Could you imagine being beat as
some of the people in the bible were and still praise God- some people
can’t deal with being tired and praising God much less something as
serious as getting beat. Verse 10- sometimes God will take some
things from you to correct you. Verse 12- How many of you go into
depression and don’t talk when you get corrected? God expects you to
praise the Lord when you get corrected. When you choose to respond
to the word by getting depressed then you responding contrary to the
word of God.
If you have been corrected what you need to do is to make plans for
your life for what you are going to do in God.
Verse 14- whoever you are around in your life you can’t pick and
choose who you will be nice to. Verse 15- When you listen to people,
sometimes they have some messed up thoughts that is due to
bitterness. When you look diligently, God gives you more grace.
Proverbs 15:8 When you are not right, even what you do good is an
abomination. If you are a horrible person at home and still worship then
that is not going to be acceptable
Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 Do you think it is evil to praise God but not be willing
to live for God? Some people sing bad songs and still talk about how
they want to praise the Lord. Verse 2- when you get mad sometimes
people run their mouth but the word says that our words should be few.
Take church serious, take worshipping God very serious.
Proverbs 15:9-14 Verse 10- If someone is not living right then they
will not receive correction well. Correction is too grievous for some and
they become depressed. Verse 11- God can judge our hearts to see
where we really are. Verse 12- Some people will avoid you and it is
hard to correct some. Some people will ask people on Facebook for
advice instead of asking some one that they know is living right.
Proverbs 19:28-29 People who are bad speak against other people and
they are the ones that are really doing wrong. Criminals seem to
always hate the police. When you get a scornful spirit, trouble is
coming. Proverbs is very simple- don’t listen to crazy people, your
attitude can make you sick and your anger can get you in trouble.
