ESV Audio Bible, Proverbs, Chapter 29
“If a ruler pays attention to falsehood, all his ministers
become wicked. The poor man and the
oppressor have this in common: the Lord
gives light to the eyes of both. If a
king judges the poor with truth, his throne will be established forever. The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child
who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.
“When the wicked increase, transgression increases; but
the righteous will see their fall.
Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; he will also delight
your soul. Where there is no vision, the
people are unrestrained. But happy is he
who keeps the law.” Proverbs 29:12-18

What God Wants From Us by
The Bible Says What?
Another WeakEnd Assignment to help consider this week’s devotions
and how they apply to you and your walk and ministry. Find your Bible and spiritual notebook, a writing
element, a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for at least an hour, a
beverage of your choice.
Read Proverbs 29 while you listen to it being read in the
video above. The second video will give some context, so listen to it too.
Then consider just this
question as it relates to what you have learned through your life journey thus
far:

Even though King David was the apple of God’s
eye and King Solomon given amazing opportunities and potential…what was the end
result of their reigns?
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning).

USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

that their time together will be filled with extraordinary good memories and lots
of love.

work but with a family of four, he needs to find something stable to

recently widowed after 43 years, the last ten of which she was her husband’s
full-time caregiver. She suffers mental
problems from a childhood experience and has reached out to Patti (who asks for
wisdom and patience). Penne has
‘disowned’ all her family, and although a believer, does not attend fellowship
for support. Please pray for her peace
of mind and God’s guidance.
·
USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and know that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you doubt
the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism against
him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania to understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pray they will both have an insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for
themselves. Pray God sends a Bible-Believing
Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth. Pray God shuts the mouths of the false
prophets who regularly circle around them.
·
Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – carrying on their
fruitful ministry in the Philippines, despite the many challenges they must
daily work with, including the impending threat of China claiming their country. Pray for those who lead, administer, work,
teach and contribute to the ministry.
Pray our Father continues to keep these servants strong, in good health,
safe and supported and that they keep a balance in their lives. They need funds
badly now.

Pray for those in full-time service
During this time, when the entire world is struggling to
understand this new ‘plague’, it is critical for us to uphold our Christian
leaders. They will be needed
everywhere. Pray for their wisdom,
safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones who are
fragile health wise. It is important to
protect them in practical ways and most important we must pray even more for
them that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
