Proverbs 16:18:24 (June 1)

My Prayer for you today is to pray and take time to read today's verses.  So many just jumped off the page and demanded at least a paragraph.  I have included some examples below.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.

The words of a gossip are like choice morsels, they go down to a man's inmost parts.

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
                                     From Proverbs 16-18 NIV

My comment today is on our last verse of the day, Proverbs 18:24: "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." 

This verse is very reassuring to a Christian: for it points out that no matter what happens to us in life; we have a friend, Jesus Christ; who will stick to us closer than a brother.

What proverb particularly caught your attention today?

How does that proverb illuminate a point in your life?

What action(s) will you take in view of that proverb and your life?  Write those actions down on a sheet of paper.

Pray for the Spirit to guide you through changes in your life.

In Christ,

David P
