Proverbs 4-12
“Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger; And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,” Proverbs 5:7-11
Dear God, I have heard Thy warnings time and time again yet I still find myself straying from Thy word and from Thy paths. I pray that You would help me to remove my way far from sin and from the snare of the devil that I may keep the blessings that Thou hast bestowed on me and my family. I desire to have joy and not mourning and to share the truth of Thy goodness with others. Help me to stand in the day of adversity and to keep my feet from the paths of evil.
“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.” Proverbs 5:15-19
Lord, thank You for the wonderful wife that You have given me. Thank you that she has an undying love and affection for me. Lord, thank you for her loyalty, devotion, and tender care for me day by day. Help me always to cherish and be thankful for her and never to stray to another.
“Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” Proverbs 8:10-12
Dear God, help me to known wisdom and to dedicate myself to finding it. Lord, I have consistently strayed from the necessity to read and find out knowledge. Help me not to falter and to know what it is that You have for my life. Help me to know what I must to be used of Thee and to accomplish what You have ordained for me to do.
