It's
the WEEKEND!!!
Happy Saturday ladies!! I'm
very excited to be on this 31 day journey with you. I pray God will
see us through in Jesus name. We will run and not go weary, we will
walk and not be faint as we take this challenge in Jesus name. At the
end of the 31 days, the wisdom and revelation hidden in the book of
Proverbs would be engrained in us in Jesus name. We will be better
wives, mothers, friends, sisters, lovers and most of all children of
the Most High God in Jesus name. AMEN!

Proverbs
2
The
Benefits of Wisdom
1
My child listen to what I say, and treasure my commands.
2
Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.
3
Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
4
Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden
treasures.
5
Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will
gain knowledge of God.
6
For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and
understanding.
7
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to
those who walk with integrity.
8
He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful
to him.
9
Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will
find the right way to go.
10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with
joy.
11
Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
12
Wisdom will save you from evil people,from those whose words are
twisted.
Proverbs
3
Trusting
in the Lord
1
My child,never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands
in your heart.
2
If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be
satisfying.
3
Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck
as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
4
Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will
earn a good reputation.
5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own
understanding.
6
Seek His will in all you do,
and He will show you which path to
take.
7
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord
and turn away from evil.
8
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your
bones.
9
Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the best part of
everything you produce.
10
Then He will fill your barns with grain,
and your vats will
overflow with good wine.
11
My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t be
upset when He corrects you.
12
For the Lord corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a
child in whom He delights.
13
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains
understanding.
14
For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better
than gold.
15
Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare
with her.
16
She offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in
her left.
17
She will guide you down delightful paths;
all her ways are
satisfying.
18
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
happy are those
who hold her tightly.
19
By wisdom the Lord founded the earth;
by understanding He created
the heavens.
20
By His knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
and
the dew settles beneath the night sky.
21
My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang
on to them,
22
for they will refresh your soul.
They are like jewels on a
necklace.
23
They keep you safe on your way,
and your feet will not stumble.
24
You can go to bed without fear;
you will lie down and sleep
soundly.
25
You need not be afraid of sudden disaster
or the destruction that
comes upon the wicked,
26
for the Lord is your security.
He will keep your foot from being
caught in a trap.
27
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
when it’s in your
power to help them.
28
If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,
“Come back
tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”
29
Don’t plot harm against your neighbor,
for those who live nearby
trust you.
30
Don’t pick a fight without reason,
when no one has done you harm.
31
Don’t envy violent people
or copy their ways.
32
Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord,
but he offers His
friendship to the godly.
33
The Lord curses the house of the wicked,
but He blesses the home of
the upright.
34
The Lord mocks the mockers
but is gracious to the humble.
35
The wise inherit honor,
but fools are put to shame!
