Summary

Proverbs 29:18 warns that without understanding God's Word, people become unrestrained. We see this in the lack of moral guidance in our leaders and culture. To find peace, we need to turn back to God and pray for our nation. The verse reminds us that those who follow God's law will find happiness.

I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. All right, are you ready? Let's begin.

Steve Webb 0:43Proverbs chapter 29 is a man who does not listen after many strong words are spoken to him will be destroyed all at once and without help. When those who are right with God rule the people are glad. But when a sinful man rules that people have sorrow, a man who loves wisdom makes his father glad. But he who goes with women who sell the use of their bodies wastes his money. A king makes the land strong by doing what is right and fair, but the one who takes pay for doing wrong destroys it. A man who gives his neighbor sweet sounding words that are not true spreads in net for his own feet. A sinful man is trapped by his sins, but a man who is right with God sings for joy. The man who is right with God cares about the rights of poor people. But the sinful man does not understand such things. Men who speak against others set his city on fire, but wise men turn away anger. When a wise man argues with a foolish man, the fool only gets angry or laughs and there is no peace and quiet. Men who kill hate him without blame. But a good man cares for his life. A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man keeps quiet. If a ruler listens to lies, all who work for him will become sinful. The Lord gives light to the eyes of both the poor man and the man who makes it hard for others. If the king is fair, as he judges the poor, his throne will stand forever. The stick and strong words give wisdom but a child who gets his own way bring shame to his mother. When the sinful or many sins become many, but those who are right with God will see their fall. punish your son when he does wrong and he will give you comfort. Yes, he will give joy to your soul. Where there is no understanding of the word of the Lord, the people do whatever they want to but Happy is he who keeps the law. A servant will not be taught by words alone, for even if he understands he will not answer. Do you see a man who was quick with his words, there is more hope for a fool than for him and he who gives good care to His servant from the time he is young will in the end find him to be a son.
