The desire of the lazy man kills him,
For his hands refuse to labor.
He covets greedily all day long,
But the righteous gives and does not spare. (Proverbs 21:25-26 NKJV)
PROVERBS 21 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Christians have accepted Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we have surrendered our lives to the will of God. We must be strenuous and diligently pursuing the things of God as He has prescribed in His word. Material possessions have no meaning for us because we know our real treasures are in heaven. Just as we have spared nothing in our sacrifices to God; we must not hold anything back when we have the opportunity of providing for others. We cannot hold back provisions just for ourselves, but we must share the overflow of our bounty with those who are needy.
Prayer: Most Gracious Father, we lay down our lives to walk in the path of righteousness. We will give without sparing and love without expecting anything in return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
AMEN — Most Gracious Father, we lay down our lives to walk in the path of righteousness. We will give without sparing and love without expecting anything in return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
And Amen again! God has shed his light of love on us this day that we may once again be in the land of the living because of His grace and mercy towards us!
