Summary

Proverbs 24:11-12 sound prophetic. My belief is that we are in the last days. As Christians, we must be prepared to take action and not deny our faith. If we die knowing Jesus, there is no loss. We should intervene or pray for victims of evil. The world is in trouble, and some of us may be called to face similar situations.

Steve Webb 0:08This is the Lifespring! One Year Bible and coming to you from Riverside, California, I'm your OG Godcaster, Steve Webb. It's Poetry Thursday and we'll read Proverbs 23 and 24. As you know, the Lovely Lady LeeAnn and I are in Florida right now, so this week's episodes have all been pre-recorded. Donations will be acknowledged next week, and prayer requests and phrases will be on the show next week. However, when you send your prayer requests and praises in I will pray for you or rejoice with you as soon as I see them in my inbox. I will be checking it every day, so don't wait 'til next week to send them in. Before we read, let's pray. Our gracious heavenly Father, we thank you for your Word, and we thank you for this time that we can be together. I pray, Lord, that you would bless our time of reading today. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, let's begin.

Steve Webb 1:00Proverbs, chapter 23. 6. When you sit down to eat with a ruler, look carefully at what's in front of you. Put a knife to your throat if you like to eat too much. Don't long for his fancy food. It can fool you. 7. Don't wear yourself out to get rich. Be wise enough to say no. When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone. They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle. 8. Don't eat the food of anyone who won't share it. Don't long for his fancy food. He is the kind of person who is always thinking about how much it costs. "Eat and drink," he says to you. But he doesn't mean it. You will throw up what little you have eaten. You will have wasted your words of praise. 9. Don't speak to a foolish person. He will laugh at your wise words. 10. Don't move old boundary stones. Don't try to take over the fields of children whose fathers have died. The One who guards them is strong. He will stand up for them in court against you. 11. Apply your heart to what you are taught. Listen carefully to words of knowledge. 12. Don't hold back training from a child. If you correct him, he won't die. So correct him. Then you will save him from death. 13. My child, if your heart is wise, my heart will be glad. Deep down inside, I will be happy when you say what is right. 14. Do not long for what sinners have. But always show great respect for the Lord. There really is hope for you tomorrow. So your hope will not be cut off. 15. My child, listen and be wise. Keep your heart on the right path. Don't join those who drink too much wine. Don't join those who stuff themselves with meat. Those who drink or eat too much will become poor. If they sleep too much, they'll have to wear rags. 16. Listen to your father, who gave you life. Don't hate your mother when she is old.
