Seeking Riches Is A Waste Of Life
Proverbs 23:4 (NIV)

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.

Proverbs Club Commentary

How many Godly opportunities have you passed on
in order to seek more riches elsewhere?

“No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other,
or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.”

Matthew 6:24 (NIV) and Luke 16:13 (NIV)

and get yourself ensnared.

Do Not Curse Your Father Or Mother – Proverbs 20:20

Do Not Curse Your Father Or Mother
Proverbs 20:20 (NIV)

20 If someone curses their father or mother,
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.

Proverbs Club Commentary

You are not required to Love your parents.
But you are required to Honor them.
Or, in my opinion, at the very least, hold your peace.

“‘Anyone who curses their father or mother
is to be put to death.
Because they have cursed their father or mother,
their blood will be on their own head.”
Leviticus 20:9 (NIV)

Follow The Narrow Path, Not Yours
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Admonition from God is incomparable to our plans.
I have heard it said: We plan; God laughs.
