Proverbs 9 (The Message) Lady Wisdom Gives a Dinner Party

Proverbs 9 (The Message) Lady Wisdom Gives a Dinner Party

1-6 Lady Wisdom has built and furnished her home; it's supported by seven hewn timbers.
The banquet meal is ready to be served: lamb roasted,
wine poured out, table set with silver and flowers.
Having dismissed her serving maids,
Lady Wisdom goes to town, stands in a prominent place,
and invites everyone within sound of her voice:
"Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on?
Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me!
I've prepared a wonderful spread—fresh-baked bread,
roast lamb, carefully selected wines.
Leave your impoverished confusion and live!
Walk up the street to a life with meaning."


7-12 If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face;
confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins.
So don't waste your time on a scoffer;
all you'll get for your pains is abuse.
But if you correct those who care about life,
that's different—they'll love you for it!
Save your breath for the wise—they'll be wiser for it;
tell good people what you know—they'll profit from it.
Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God,
insight into life from knowing a Holy God.
It's through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens,
and the years of your life ripen.
Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life;
mock life and life will mock you.

Madame Whore Calls Out, Too

13-18 Then there's this other woman, Madame Whore—
brazen, empty-headed, frivolous.
She sits on the front porch
of her house on Main Street,
And as people walk by minding
their own business, calls out,
"Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on?
Steal off with me, I'll show you a good time!
No one will ever know—I'll give you the time of your life."
But they don't know about all the skeletons in her closet,
that all her guests end up in hell.

Being a Blessing to Others

Being a Blessing to Others
Genesis 12:1-3 (The Message) Abram and Sarai
1 God told Abram: "Leave your country, your family, and your father's home for a land that I will show you. 2-3 I'll make you a great nation and bless you. I'll make you famous; you'll be a blessing. I'll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I'll curse. All the families of the Earth will be blessed through you."

Luke 9:1-6 (The Message) Keep It Simple
1-5Jesus now called the Twelve and gave them authority and power to deal with all the demons and cure diseases. He commissioned them to preach the news of God's kingdom and heal the sick. He said, "Don't load yourselves up with equipment. Keep it simple; you are the equipment. And no luxury inns—get a modest place and be content there until you leave. If you're not welcomed, leave town. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and move on."
6Commissioned, they left. They traveled from town to town telling the latest news of God, the Message, and curing people everywhere they went.

Luke 10:1-4 (The Message) Lambs in a Wolf Pack
1-2Later the Master selected seventy and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he intended to go. He gave them this charge:
"What a huge harvest! And how few the harvest hands. So on your knees; ask the God of the Harvest to send harvest hands.
3"On your way! But be careful—this is hazardous work. You're like lambs in a wolf pack.
4"Travel light. Comb and toothbrush and no extra luggage.
"Don't loiter and make small talk with everyone you meet along the way.

Need Encouragement read Ephesians 5:15

Need Encouragement read Ephesians 5:15

When life is hard and payday is still so far away and when the salary comes it's not enough there is only one thing to do; God says the struggle is over for you.. If you believe this, forward to 4 people.

Don't ignore, God could be testing YOU.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Ephesians 5:15 encourages us to 'be very careful how you live, making the most of your time.' Each and every one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.


Keep the faith. My instructions were to pick four (4) people that I wanted God to bless, and I picked you.. Please pass this to at least four (4) people you want to be blessed.

This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another.

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.

If the Lord lays upon your heart to send this to more than four (4) people, you are truly blessed.

Proverbs 9:9 (The Message) Lady Wisdom Gives a Dinner Party

Proverbs 9:9 (The Message) Save your breath for the wise

7-12 If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you'll get slapped in the face;
confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins.

So don't waste your time on a scoffer;
all you'll get for your pains is abuse.

But if you correct those who care about life,
that's different—they'll love you for it!

Save your breath for the wise—they'll be wiser for it;
tell good people what you know—they'll profit from it.

Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God,
insight into life from knowing a Holy God.

It's through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens,
and the years of your life ripen.

Proverbs 5:5 (The Message) A Seductive Woman

Proverbs 5:5 (The Message) A Seductive Woman


3-6 The lips of a seductive woman are oh so sweet,
her soft words are oh so smooth.

But it won't be long before she's gravel in your mouth,
a pain in your gut, a wound in your heart.

She's dancing down the primrose path to Death;
she's headed straight for Hell and taking you with her.

Proverbs 4:4 (The Message) Buy Wisdom and Get Understanding

Proverbs 4:4 (The Message) Buy Wisdom and Get Understanding


3-9 When I was a boy at my father's knee,
the pride and joy of my mother,
He would sit me down and drill me:
"Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live!
Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding!
Don't forget one word! Don't deviate an inch!
Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life;
love her—she keeps her eye on you.
Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won't regret it;
never let her go—she'll make your life glorious.
She'll garland your life with grace,
she'll festoon your days with beauty."

Proverbs 2:2 (The Message) Make Insight Your Priority

Proverbs 2:2 (The Message) Make Insight Your Priority

Proverbs 2
Make Insight Your Priority

1-5 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life.

Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;
set your heart on a life of Understanding.

That's right—if you make Insight your priority,
and won't take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,
like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;
you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God.

Proverbs 1:1-7 (The Message) A Manual for Living

Proverbs 1:1-7 (The Message) A Manual for Living

Wise Sayings of Solomon
A Manual for Living

1-6 These are the wise sayings of Solomon,
David's son, Israel's king—
Written down so we'll know how to live well and right,
to understand what life means and where it's going;
A manual for living,
for learning what's right and just and fair;
To teach the inexperienced the ropes
and give our young people a grasp on reality.
There's something here also for seasoned men and women,
still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—
Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate,
the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women.
Start with God
7 Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God;
only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

Proverbs 13 (The Message) Walk with the Wise

Proverbs 13 (The Message) Walk with the Wise

13:13 Ignore the Word and suffer;
honor God's commands and grow rich.

Read the whole chapter of Proverbs Chapter 13 the Message

Proverbs 13
Walk with the Wise
1 Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing.

2 The good acquire a taste for helpful conversation;
bullies push and shove their way through life.

3 Careful words make for a careful life;
careless talk may ruin everything.

4 Indolence wants it all and gets nothing;
the energetic have something to show for their lives.

5 A good person hates false talk;
a bad person wallows in gibberish.

6 A God-loyal life keeps you on track;
sin dumps the wicked in the ditch.

7 A pretentious, showy life is an empty life;
a plain and simple life is a full life.

8 The rich can be sued for everything they have,
but the poor are free of such threats.

9 The lives of good people are brightly lit streets;
the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.

10 Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord,
but wise men and women listen to each other's counsel.

11 Easy come, easy go,
but steady diligence pays off.

12 Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick,
but a sudden good break can turn life around.

13 Ignore the Word and suffer;
honor God's commands and grow rich.

14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
so, no more drinking from death-tainted wells!

15 Sound thinking makes for gracious living,
but liars walk a rough road.

16 A commonsense person lives good sense;
fools litter the country with silliness.

17 Irresponsible talk makes a real mess of things,
but a reliable reporter is a healing presence.

18 Refuse discipline and end up homeless;
embrace correction and live an honored life.

19 Souls who follow their hearts thrive;
fools bent on evil despise matters of soul.

20 Become wise by walking with the wise;
hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.

21 Disaster entraps sinners,
but God-loyal people get a good life.

22 A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren;
ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people.

23 Banks foreclose on the farms of the poor,
or else the poor lose their shirts to crooked lawyers.

24 A refusal to correct is a refusal to love;
love your children by disciplining them.

25 An appetite for good brings much satisfaction,
but the belly of the wicked always wants more.
