A proverb a day: Proverbs 10:3
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Education on December 10, 2008
Go ahead and read the entire Proverb at your leisure, but I wanted to talk about this one particular verse.
Verse 3: “The Lord will not let the godly starve to death, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.”
I believe this is a wise and timely saying for the times we are facing today. There are many people prophesying doom and gloom in our economy today. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is all what they’re saying, but you see the economy talk is only brought up amongst the so called well to do.
Think about it, even when times were good during the Clinton age, when the economy was on the up and up, and the buzz word on the street was surplus. Even during this positive time in our United States, there were many people, less fortunate that suffered.
This word was for them then, and its for us now!
Now that the word of the day is recession, things are effecting the big pocket characters of our day.
Again this word is for them….
The word says…”The Lord will not let the godly starve to death..”
So if you are a godly person, and living your life to His standards, and trusting Him at His word you are not in a recession.
but…
If you are still trying to do things your own way and not trusting God in all you do. If you are working against God’s standards and contrary to His will, He will refuse to satisfy your cravings.
If you don’t remember anything today, remember what I said in a blog before….”The Lord is your preserver!”
Keep trusting God.
How to be wise….

After reading my Proverb for the day yesterday, Proverbs 9. I realized that I need to learn how to be wise, for that is what the scripture urges us to do in verse 6.
So I asked my self the question…”How do I learn to be wise?”
In verse 10 the answer lies. “Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in understanding.”
So what I know now is that I need with all my might, with all my heart, to seek knowledge of the Holy One. I will do that by staying in what he left for us here on earth.
The Bible.
His Holy Word.
Everything he wants us to know about Him lies in the Holy Bible.
So if you want to learn to be wise, let me encourage you to read the Bible.
