God’s Word for Today 19 Feb, 2025 25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and reproach. 27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge. -Prov 19:25-27 ESV THE KEY TO PRUDENCE It is sad that a person does spiral down towards hardening of his heart like a scoffer. A "scoffer" is a person who arrogantly, deliberately refuses to accept wisdom. This is the person who sneers at godliness and common sense, making fun of truth instead of learning from it. Even when he is literally beaten, through any consequence or affliction, he may not learn. It is pathetic sight, is it not? The simple who sees the life of the scoffer may learn. The ‘simple’ is someone inexperienced or uneducated. Someone who is ignorant but willing to learn. This means that when fools suffer consequences, wise people learn from their example, and when you correct a wise person, they learn from the experience." Even the naïve can learn when they see what happens to foolish people. The disaster in other people's lives become unfortunate warnings, so we may say, "you don't want to end up like that person, do you?" This is even true to the ‘man of understanding’ He should be ready to change when they are corrected. He is the prudent son. An understanding believer knows that discipline aids spiritual growth and responds accordingly.[Heb 12:10] The capacity to learn from experience never ends when a person is truly wise. (see v.:27). The disaster we are talking about is the ‘shame and reproach’ experienced by the unruly child. ”Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.”[v.26NLT] Such maltreatment offends not only his parents and society but also God. God commanded the people of Israel to honor their fathers and mothers (Ex 20:12). By disobeying this commandment and driving his mother away, a violent son leaves her poverty-stricken. However, he does not get off without punishment. He brings shame and disgrace to himself. In Exodus 21:17 commands Israel: "Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death." That civil penalty, in the context of the ancient nation of Israel, reflects the serious sin of abusing one's parents. Let’s shepherd the hearts of our kids. Teachable kids grow to become wiser and prudent. They listen and obey God’s instruction. This is the key to prudence. Otherwise the warning of Solomon to stubborn kids is, “If you stop listening to instruction, my child, you will turn your back on knowledge.”[v.27 NLT] Watch in YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmg Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-googlepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audible Follow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio #gospellightfilipino…
 
Text: Proverbs 19:22-23 (ESV) 22 What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar. 23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. LOYALTY The "steadfast love" here is the same as ‘loyalty’. This is derived from the Hebrew word ‘checed’ which is translated often as "lovingkindness" in the Old Testament.(Ex 15:13; Psa 13:5). Loyal and true friends endure hardship (Prov 17:17; 18:24). To remain loyal to a friend in trouble is risky. Choosing to retain that relationship can be costly but shows great integrity. In short, our personal integrity stands up above other concerns (Prov 16:19; 19:1; 28:6). False friends, on the other hand, would use deceit and lies for their own gain. To deceive in order to get ahead demonstrates the opposite of personal integrity, which holds to truth, even when it's inconvenient. Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 13 that love is the greatest characteristic of one being in Christ. Without love, everything else is nothing before God including the ability to understand prophecy, great faith, charity, and even martyrdom. Love is patient, kind, humble, enduring, and lasting. Pretending to be loving is hypocritical. According to Solomon, "a lying tongue" and "a false witness who breathes out lies" are things God explicitly hates (Prov 6:16–17). Love and honesty receive the Lord's favor, but unkindness and deceit receive His judgment. Scripture rarely presents legitimate love in purely emotional terms. Real love always inspires action. A loving man is kind to others. There is more honor in being a poor man who shows kindness and help for others than to be rich and pretend to be unable to help others. When we move to verse 23, a person who follows godly wisdom has the best likelihood for success in this life and prepares him for eternity (Prov 1:7; 3:3–8; 8:35–36; 10:16; 14:32). He fears the Lord. It's one’s reverent, humble respect that acknowledges who and what God is. The cornerstone of that recognition leads a person to Christ for salvation. To "fear" the Lord is to believe on Him.

Text: Proverbs 19:21 (ESV) 21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. OUR PLANS AND GOD’S PURPOSE However, Solomon was wise enough to know that human plans are never guaranteed to work out. It was David who desire to build the temple. But, Solomon worked out a design to build a temple for the Lord. That starts with seeking God's will and His direction (Prov 3:5–6). He arranged the building of an impressive house for himself. And he laid out gardens and infrastructures (1 Kings 3:1). He recognized the wisdom of consulting with others to make the best decisions. “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” (Prov 11:14) “ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.’ [Prov 12:15] “Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war.[Prov 20:18). He knew the value of diligence when making plans “The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. (Prov 14:15] “ If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. [Prov 18:13, 15). He observes here that only God's purposes are destined to succeed. Proverbs 27:1 sounds a clear warning: "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." In Psalm 37:3–5, The Lord provides pieces of a formula for successful planning. The psalmist writes, "Trust in the LORD," "Do good," "Delight yourself in the LORD," and "Commit your way to the LORD." In the New testament, James tells us not to be arrogant and presumptous. Planning is not wrong by itself but it should be done in God-honoring humility. He counsels, "You ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that'" (Jas 4:15).

Text: Prov 19:18-20 ESV 18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death. 19 A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again. 20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. -Prov 19:18-20 ESV DISCIPLINE PROVIDES HOPE A child left without discipline would grow into an adult without respect for authority. He may struggle with self-control and decision-making. Consequently, it will bring suffering and piles shame on his parents (Prov 10:1). Should he continues as rebellious, he will face dire consequences (Deu 21:18–21). We can effectively bend a twig of a tree while it is young. Thus, parents must know that the best time to shape a child's behavior is when they are young. This opportunity might be lost and it will be a little too late. This requires discipline, which not pleasant but it is necessary. Hebrews 12:6 says, "The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." The writer continues to say, "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" (Heb 12:11). Godly discipline must be administered for we love the child. An undisciplined child can’t control his passion, he’s hot tempered [v.19]. He has the tendency to make the same mistakes again and again. Being hot-tempered means lacking in self-control, so a person is liable to make the same foolish choices when put under pressure. Let us take note that if parents will ‘deliver him’, which is an allusion to pampering, they won’t learn. They will do it repeatedly. They need to suffer the natural consequences of their actions and learn. In the light of scriptures, anyone who repeatedly gets into trouble cannot blame either his circumstances or other people for the harm he inflicts on others. His problem is within him. It doesn't stem from others or from difficult circumstances but from what he is by nature. As Jeremiah points out that the heart is desperately sick. Superficial solution doesn't change the heart. It comes only through spiritual regeneration—the new birth (John 3:3]. A person whose heart is changed or renewed (Jer 31:31–33; 2 Cor 5:17). Then and only then the child would listen and pay attention to advices and instructions.[v.20] Embracing correction and discipline with corresponding actions will prepare a person for the future. How one responds to adverse circumstances in later years of life shows whether they acquired wisdom during younger years. Today, let’s not slack in disciplining our young. Discipline provides hope. And, if God is disciplining us, let’s embrace and submit with humility. Otherwise, we will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
Text: Prov 19:17 ESV 17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed. -Prov 19:17 ESV BE GENEROUS The book of Proverbs is replete with instructions to care for the poor (Proverbs 14:21; 19:7; 21:13; 29:7). Helping the needy honors God. And, a person who does charitable acts does God's will and work. He gives not to bring for himself but to glorify God. (Mat 5:16). Definitely, God will repay those who are generous. This is the implication of the term "lend. It is not necessarily with earthly wealth but spiritual blessing. God is not unrighteous to forget a person’s labor of love to others.[Heb 6:10] God’s repayment for the generous is foreshadowed by the words of Jesus in Matthew 25. Speaking about appearing before Him in the final judgment, Christ says to the generous, "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me" (Mat 25:40). He who waters others will be watered. He said, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”[Ecc 11:1] During Paul’s missionary travels, he urged the believers at Corinth to give generously to the relief of poor Christians in Judea. He reminded them that Jesus set aside His riches in heaven and became poor so believers could benefit. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” (2 Cor 8:9). Even Paul writes, “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? [Rom 8:32] Today is Valentine's Day. Let us ponder about Jesus’ love and generosity that He gave Himself to us. May we all be freed from greediness and abound in love to be generous to the least of the brethren. ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
God’s Word for Today 13 Feb, 2025 16 Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die. -Prov 19:16 ESV KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND LIVE The importance of following directions and instructions shouldn’t be taken for granted. Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself. [Prov 13:13] Failure to follow instructions in using machinery or tools, taking medicines, and applying chemicals can lead to injury or death. There is, in fact, a "right way" to use certain things and to accomplish certain tasks. A person who pays no attention to such things is at risk of disaster (Prov 19:8). Solomon specifically credits the fear of God with preserving life. He says, “The fear of the Lord prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.” (Prov 10:27] “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.”[Prov 14:27). Thus, a person who follows God’s word keeps him from destructive situations. He will stay clear of immoral situations that drag people down spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. He will enjoy a more peaceful life. As the psalmist testifies, "I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your law. Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules. Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble." [Psa 119:163–165] However, those who care nothing about obeying God's Word pursue a dangerous, destructive path. More often than not, persistent ignorance and hard-headedness do have dire consequences. These consequences can be eternal if the person does not repent and change. Proverbs 29:1 provides a strong warning: "He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing." Pride comes before the fall.

God’s Word for Today 12 Feb, 2025 15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. -Prov 19:15 ESV THE PERIL OF SLOTHFULNESS A lazy person is one like being in a deep sleep. He is oblivious to his surroundings and accomplishing nothing. The slothful is at great risk of poverty and hunger. “The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.”(Prov 20:4] . Solomon often condemns laziness in his writings for the perils it brings, like; A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.[Prov 10:4] The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.[Prov 12:24] Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.[Prov 18:9] Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.[Ecc 10:8] To work is part of his plan for each one of us. Work may not be pleasant always but it is beneficial. Even in the garden of Eden, before sin entered humanity, God assigned work to Adam. "The LORD God took [Adam] and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it." [Gen 2:15] When Adam and Eve sinned, work became difficult and backbreaking for God placed a curse on the ground. He said to Adam, "In pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life" (Gen 3:17). The apostle Paul understood the sin of "laziness." He advised the church at Thessalonica to exclude giving handouts to those who were capable of work yet chose not to out of laziness. He commands, "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." [2 Thess 3:10] Jesus strengthens the necessity of work in reference to our accountability as His servants.[2 Cor 5:10] He said, “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.”[John 9:4] Watch in YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmg Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-googlepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audible Follow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio #gospellightfilipino #godswordfortoday #bookofProverbs…
 
Text: Proverbs 19:13-14 (ESV) 13 A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain. 14 House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. GRIEF IN A HOME Parents are deeply grieved when children make foolish choices in life. (Prov 4:1–4; 10:1; 17:2). They can "ruin" the parents. That is usually true emotionally, causing social shame and financial hardship. He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who brings shame and reproach. (Prov 19:26). A foolA foolish person has no regard for God (Prov 3:11; 10:17). He rebels against the spiritual training given by godly parents (Proverbs 15:5). Solomon also observes that a disagreeable or contentious spouse can be a source of constant misery (Prov 21:9). ‘Quarrelling’ here is a reference to arguments, stress, and bickering. ‘Dripping of rain’ here implies something like a leak in a roof, rather than rain in general (Prov 27:15). That is, spouses don't have to be overtly offensive to bring misery into a marriage. A constant "drip" of negativity, arguing, unhappiness, criticism, or other irritations can become annoying. Instead, both should be dwelling together as partners in the grace of life (1 Pet 3:6–7). Furthermore, Solomon highlighted the value of a godly spouse [v.14]. Just as wisdom and godliness are precious than gold, she is much valuable than a substantial inheritance (Prov 16:16]. Earthly parents may be able to offer enormous wealth to their children. But when someone is blessed with a believing, discerning spouse, that is truly a gift from God. Priceless. “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.”[Prov 31:10] Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
Text: Proverbs 19:12 (ESV) 12 A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass. THE KING’S WRATH ‘Do not poke the bear’ is an idiom to not deliberately provoke or antagonize someone, especially someone more powerful than oneself. Those in authority have the power either to help or hurt those under them, haven’t they? Thus, it is wise not to provoke those authority figures (Prov 20:2). A story is told about a lion in a bad mood. That morning his wife, the Lioness, had told him that his breath smelled, and that perhaps he needed to do something about it. The Lion had pretended not to care, and had roared loudly and angrily just to show the Lioness who was king. Secretly though, he was worried. So as soon as the Lioness left the den to go about her day’s work, the Lion called his three counsellors – the Sheep, the Wolf and the Fox. First he called the Sheep. ‘Tell me, Sheep,’ growled the Lion, ‘do you think my breath smells?’ The Sheep thought the Lion wanted to know the truth. So she bowed low before the Lion and said, ‘Your Majesty, your breath smells terrible. In fact, it smells so bad that it is making me feel quite ill.’ This was not what the Lion had wanted to hear. Roaring angrily, and calling the Sheep a fool, he pounced on her and bit her head off. Then he called the Wolf. ‘Tell me, Wolf,’ growled the Lion sharpening his claws, ‘do you think my breath smells?’ The Wolf had seen the dead Sheep on the way, and he had no plans to end up the same way. He bowed low before the Lion and said, ‘Your Majesty! How can you ask me that? Your breath smells as sweet as the flowers in spring, as fresh as the…’ He could not finish what he was going to say. ‘Liar!’ roared the Lion, and ripped him to pieces. At last the Lion called the Fox. The Fox came warily; she had seen the dead Sheep and the dead Wolf on the way. ‘Tell me, Fox,’ growled the Lion, sharpening his claws and yawning widely so that the Fox could see his long sharp teeth, ‘do you think my breath smells?’ The Fox coughed and sneezed and blew her nose, and then clearing her throat noisily, said in a hoarse whisper, ‘Your Majesty, forgive me. I have such a nasty cold that I cannot smell a thing!’ The fox was wise not to provoke the lion to anger. It is sensible to keep a positive relationship with one's employer, government, and other leaders. But, God obligates us to disobey earthly authority in cases wherein we are asked to disobey God.(Acts 5:29) Our ultimate loyalty is to God and not to men. Daniel’s friends had experienced the wrath of the king Nebuchadnezzar for not worshipping the image. "Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego" (Dan 3:19). They refused to participate in idolatrous worship. As a consequence, they received the death penalty. In his wrath, the king ordered a fire pit heated seven times hotter than normal and commanded soldiers to throw the disobeying believers in. In that case, God miraculously intervened (Dan 3:26–27). This is not always to happen for God may not intervene sand allow His children to undergo suffering(John 16:1–4). Honoring God through submission to authorities may result rto blessing like Joseph. He was a good example of this truth (Gen 39:1–6, 20–23; 41:38–40). He made a good-faith effort to please his superiors, without compromising his faith in God. As a result, he became the prince in Egypt and was able to rescue His brothers and God's people.

Text: Prov 19:11 ESV 11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. -Prov 19:11 ESV DO OVERLOOK AN OFFENSE It's far more honorable to ignore insults than to overreact to them. Overreaction may escalate a volatile situation. However, the wise person dissipates it by remaining calm (Prov 15:1). When a person is easily irritated, he allows them to control him. The self-controlled person doesn't let others incite them into a fight. As one wisely says, “I don’t allow anybody to ruin my life by making me hate him.” The necessity to control one's temper is a frequent subject of Solomon's proverbs (Prov 14:29; 15:18; 16:32; 19:19; 22:24; 29:11). The apostle Paul gives advice about how to respond rightly when offended. He said, "17Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17-21). Instead of taking matters into one's own hand, an offended person should leave matters of vengeance to the Lord. How to overlook an offense? Joseph is our first example. He did not deny but acknowledge the hurt and pain. But, he saw the sovereignty of God that His good plan supersedes the offense they did. Thus he concluded, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”[Gen 50:20] At another instance, David expressed his tolerance and forbearance to Shimei who cursed him. He said, “10 But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’” 11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.” ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
Text: Prov 19:10 ESV 10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes. -Prov 19:10 ESV UNFIT FOR THE TASK Both the fool and slave are unfit for the task of managing riches and kingdom, respectively. The fools, who are immoral and unwise, can become wealthy (Psa 37:7; 73:3] But, when they do, it's an unwelcome sight. A fool fails to understand that every possession has been entrusted to him by God (Mat 25:14–15). Instead of using his wealth and luxurious belongings for God's glory, he hoards and squanders everything for himself (Mat 6:19–20; Luke 12:20–21) And, he trusts in riches for security more than God (Prov 18:11). Slaves are unfit to rule as princes, are they not? This is not a slight for the servants for this focuses more to their competence not status. Skills and not class, are in mind in this proverb. Take for example Joseph, he was a "slave" but was repeatedly given enormous authority because of his godly wisdom (Gen 39:1–6, 20–23; 41:38–40).. In most cases, slaves are not prepared to rule. It appears absurd to think that their roles are interchanged. It does follow that when a person has competence, he may rule. This makes education and character essential in one’s life. The knowledgeable person governs the ignorant. Thus, the statement, ‘knowledge is power’ is true. ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
God’s Word for Today 6 Feb, 2025 8 Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good. 9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish. -Prov 19:8-9 ESV A SENSIBLE PERSON A sensible person cares about the state of their soul (Mark 8:36). That causes them to make wise, spiritually discerned decisions (1 Cor 2:14; Heb 5:14). God's formula for success has never changed! The Lord told Joshua to "be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go" (Joshua 1:7). That he should study God's written Word or the law in order to follow it diligently. Then, he added the promise, "For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success" (Jos 1:8). Earlier Solomon says, “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.” (Prov 19:5). Verse 9 is a repeat but with worst implication - death. This repetition is a deliberate way of creating emphasis as the practice in ancient times. The "false witness" is a serious offense, called "perjury" in modern laws. Slandering about or against other people is a serious moral and criminal act (Exo 20:16; Prov 6:16–19). Such lying may have eternal consequences if not repented. In Revelation 21:8, John identifies the kinds of people that will be thrown into eternal suffering. This verse says, "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Judgment is inescapable unless they humble and receive the forgiveness of Christ.

God’s Word for Today 5 Feb, 2025 4 Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape. 6 Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. 7 All a poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them. -Prov 19:4-7 ESV WEALTH BRINGS MANY NEW FRIENDS A wealthy person may have many friends. Sadly, most are shallow friends. That doesn't necessarily refer to bribes or other overt gifts (Prov 17:8; 18:16). However, a rich man's wealth can attract others like ants are attracted to sugary foods. Many do not really care about the rich man. They are primarily after his favor in the form of financial gifts. In the gospels, many went to Jesus, not for Himself as a person and His teachings. But, they were drawn because they were able to eat the ‘bread and fishes’ through His miraculous act. On the other hand, those who are poor often find themselves ignored and sneered at by others (Prov 14:21; 17:5). The same type of so-called friends who flock to a wealthy person will abandon someone if they cannot benefit from their friendship. Solomon says further, “Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.” The statement that "everyone" is a rich person's friend implies that "friendship" grounded in wealth is unreliable. A friend of everybody is a friend of nobody. This casts doubt and scepticalism towards those who seem to be "friends," when all they really want are the benefits. They are pleased to be with him for what they can get. Moreover, Solomon expands this sad reality to happen in a family. He said, “A poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.” It is sad that even this happens in a family, wherein support and help are expected. Some despise them by looking down on struggling relatives and they don’t have the desire to help them. But, there is a friend who stays close even when someone is in need. He is a true friend – the Lord Jesus. He loves us while we are most undeserving sinners.[Rom 5:8] Watch in YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmg Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-googlepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audible Follow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio #gospellightfilipino #godswordfortoday #bookofProverbs…
 
Text: Proverbs 19:2-3 (ESV) 2 Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way. 3 When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the LORD. HASTE MAKES WASTE A person is putting himself at risk when he will pursue his ambition without diligence or knowledge. Without weighing all the facts of a matter, an ambitious person may rush into a situation, only to discover severe consequences. (Prov 18:13, 17), "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death." [Prov 14:12] Wisdom and truth are often compared to a path (Prov 4:26; 15:10). Those who fail to watch their steps are inclined to become lost: to "miss their way." Other proverbs note that rash decision-making can lead to failure (Prov 21:5; 28:20). Believers are exhorted to trust in the Lord for guidance. According to James, God promises His wisdom and clear direction to the person who asks him (Jas 1:5) The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way. [Prov 14:8] The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.[Prov 4:15). Thus, Solomon counsels, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." He adds, "Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil" (Prov 3:7). A person who makes careless decisions will suffer the consequence. These consequences are mostly painful and tragic. Of course, not all suffering is self-inflicted (John 16:33; 1 Peter 3:17). It is undeniably true that human nature seeks to blame others for our own wrongs. Mankind has a tragic habit of ignoring reason and advice, only to blame God when the predicted consequences come to pass. The question "why did God do this to me?" often our alibis from embracing our faults and mistakes. It’s ridiculous for a drunkard to blame God why he has a sclerosis of the liver or peptic ulcers. What they sow, they reap. Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
 
Text: Proverbs 19:1 (ESV) Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool. INTEGRITY How valuable is personal integrity? it is more valuable than any riches or financial gain. The "crooked speeches" in Proverbs 4:24 and 6:12 imply something manipulative, immoral, or deceptive. For having a godly wisdom, it may give a person earthly success (Proverbs 1:7; 3:1–4; 13:21). Yet, it does not claim that honesty is an invincible strategy for prosperity. Righteous people may suffer. In a corrupt world, diligent, honest, hardworking people can sometimes fall into some combination of prejudice and persecution (1 Pet 3:17; John 16:33). Thus, wealth is never worth the sin and immoral acts to obtain it. Is it? Our treasure is in heaven.[Mat 6:21] Many first-century Christians were poor due to persecution, but the Lord did not forsake them. In our time, through no fault of their own, many Christians still are poor but not abandoned by the Lord. God promises us in Hebrews 13, saying, "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" Verse 6 follows to say, "So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'" Even Paul has the confidence to be contented for Jesus is his help in every situation of life.[Phil 4;11-13] Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube , Facebook and Instagram…
