Avoid A Begrudging Host- Proverbs 23:6-8

Avoid A Begrudging Host
Proverbs 23:6-8 (NIV)

6 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host,
do not crave his delicacies;

7 for he is the kind of person
who is always thinking about the cost.
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.

8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten
and will have wasted your compliments.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The stingy host says “Eat, Drink, and Party Hardy!”
But, he will resent you for the cost of your presence.

Riches Can Grow Wings And Quickly Fly Away
Proverbs 23:5 (NIV)

5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs Club Commentary

How much money did that rich guy leave behind when he died?
Every penny of it; plus the Crypto Currency.

23
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)

Be Appropriate At An Important Event
Proverbs 23:1-3 (NIV)

1 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well what is before you,

2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.

3 Do not crave his delicacies,
for that food is deceptive.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Be shrewd and moderate when invited to an event.
You may have no idea why you were really invited.
Perhaps your behavior is being observed.

When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

Alcohol distorts your judgement, awareness, and well-being.
