A proverb a day: Proverbs 9:13 -Men beware of foolish women.
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Family, Inspirational on January 9, 2009
“The woman named Folly is loud and brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t even know it.” -Proverbs 9:13 NLT
Proverbs 9 is a must read for men today. I say this because I was once caught by a woman named Folly. These type of women make everything wrong seem right, and if it had not been for the grace of God I might still be headed to my grave. But because of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work on Calvary I am able to go forward to everlasting life because he has washed all my sins away.
Men my warning to you is to be careful when tempation comes. Think before acting. Know that your soul is not worth the few moments of pleasure.

A proverb a day: Proverbs 8:10-11 -The most valuable thing to obtain in 2009

“Choose my instruction rather than silver, and Knowledge over pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can be compared with it.” Proverbs 8:10-11 NLT
People want so many great and valuable things in life. They wan a nice big home, fancy cars, dream vacations, gorgeous spouses, fabulous jewelry, and everything else that comes with the life of the rich and famous. They want all these things, but the proverb states all of “nothing”can be compared with wisdom from God, for wisdom is far more valuable. Seek wisdom.
Be wise.

Proverbs Chapter 7 is another warning about immoral women. It is actually told in story form and is a must read.
A women or man with wrong motives can lead those caught by their charm to their final resting place. Except there won’t be any kind of rest, but torment of hell and life with out the presence of God.
Be wise.
Killing yourself over money? Is it really that serious.

Billionaires killing themselves over business failures.
Adolf Merckle one of Germany’s richest men at age 74 decides to take his life, or at least that what officials are saying.
I know money is a powerful motivater, but to take your life because you lose it all is an act of cowardice. I believe the following section of a poem sums it up.
“If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss;…Your is the earth and everything that’s in it, and which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!” -words from If by Rudyard Kipling.
I believe it takes a man to admit that he lost it all, and then start again to rebuild. I understand the man was 74, but no one is to old to get life right. Obviously he didn’t have the hope that he needed, and snuffed out his life too soon.
I pray for his family in there time of sorrow.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 6:6-11 -Learn from ants
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Inspirational, Work on January 6, 2009
“Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and be wise! Even though they have no prince, governor, or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? I want you to learn this lesson: A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- and poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.” Proverbs 6:6-11 NLT
Just reading that should give you all the clarity you need. Don’t let scarcity slip up on you.
Be wise.
