Discuss Proverbs 28 Page 3

i recognize that our God addresses us in different ways sometimes man, woman, child, peoples,nations,but when he says man i think he is addressing human thereby i feel convicted and want to fear HIM with Loving fear and obey Him...

if you are not save..you will not understand the bible..God said those who live a worldly life will not know..me or my son..you half to repent and ask the lord to forgive you of your sins..and put your love,faith,trust in our lord and savior..or you will never understand the bible..

God is so GOOD His Spirit teaches us how to live Holy on a day to day basis in the book of Proverbs. He gives us a chance to get whatever is not right in His eyes to get it right so no excuses. May God Bless anyone who reads this comment.

Notice the implication of this verse. The Lord does not show mercy to those saints who conceal their sins and refuse to confess and forsake them. He deals in judgment, not mercy.

There are many who are arrogant, wise in their own conceit and comfortable in this life. Psalms says elsewhere "Because they have no changes,they fear not God ". Contrast the "successful " with those who have been chased from place to place for their devout faith. Many times persecution makes a person poor and misunderstood.

I really enjoy this verse alot of wisdom.

The wicked flee without pursuit can you say God. The righteous fearless as the lion. Father cause your boldness upon and in your people to stand up as a lion without fear but in full authority and power in Jesus Name.

someone need to have patience and faithful in all his deeds

The man concerned with status will be the first to take a bribe or cheat for gain.

I definitely appreciate this scripture. Why you ask? Well, it serves as a great reminder on how trusting in ourselves will not always lead to success.

Think about how many people truested in their "hearts" and made decisions based off what they thought was right. Alot of the times those decisions did not lead to good outcomes.

I am reminded that I do need assistance in guiding my life if I want to be successful! I have accepted Jehovah's help, and have never been disappointed.

God's values are contrary to that of our flesh and though the heart is deceitful and wicked; counsel from, meditation on, & obedience to the Word will lead us to prosperity. From a quick count at least (7) of the verses in this chapter deal with covetousness and the contrast of the rich and poor. Not that wealth is always linked to sin; but, being hasty to get $$$ isn't right.
I'm reminded of DL Moody and how his intention to make it "big" in Chicago changed as he grew. His temporal goals were overshadowed by and replaced with eternal ones.

1 Timothy 6:6 tells us that "...godliness with contentment is great gain."

We are instructed to obey the WORD and not our own understanding. ( Proverbs 3:5&6)

For all unborn children who are aborted,the culprits do suffer the aftermarth consequences..

Proverbs 28:26

AMAZING VERSE! You could do a whole service with this verse! <3

You can see through reading Proverbs that God is not focused on a man's flaws; For if you read on Solomon he wasn't that righteous of a man, but God blessed this man like no other; because even though his heart was not completely right; He sought after God for his direction on how he should lead his sheep. And for his acknowledgement of God; He receive the spirit of God to a level that no other man received, and you can see to what level when you read the book of proverbs. So when I observe Solomon I see that your sincere unselfish request to God is your greatest prayer, and has the greatest potential to move God in a way stronger than most of your prayers would. (IT'S ABOUT GOD, AND HIS, AND NOT US) Is what should be our motto.

It is better to give than to receive.

Hallelujah, all praise be to God, for he is far above greatness. Proverbs 28:1 says; "The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." And Hebrews 4:16 says; "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." ...... So we see here saints, that Faith is the first step towards God; For FAITH breeds confidants; which cast out fear, FAITH, creates the ability to: telepathically break the laws of psychics; the spirit that God has granted us;(those that believe) is the spirit of God, and God can do anything, so why should he fear? We fear because we have not yet become one with God, but we must saints; So that we can Love with true Love, and maintain peace, and sanity, in our lives, the way God intented it. Amen

I think as Gods people we should be fearless and draw strength from God I think lion speaks of boldness and we need too be bold if we are going too live this Christian life the way God need us to do.

Greetings in the Sovereign Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! I believe the Lord God shows that His heart is SO MOVED by ANY show of humility when man does wrong, that He's willing to deal with the LEAST of sincere reaction on our part! (I say least because King Ahab's reaction to the prophecy of doom was a sincere reaction of fear, yet pathetic in the REPENTANCE dept.; far from what Proverbs 28:13 & 1 John 1:7-10 calls for!) If God softened the sentence because of Ahab's feeble reaction, think of what He does for people that TRULY TAKE HIS WORD SERIOUSLY AND SUBMIT TO JESUS CHRIST FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO REALLY CHANGE THEM! Note: the GUILT is removed, but not the earthly consequences and heartfelt remorse!

God’s law of reward: There are 4 R’s which govern the laws of poverty and prosperity: Reward, release, receiving, and reaping. Reward: Luke 10:7 “The labourer is worth of his hire (reward).” Your employer is not doing you any special favour by writing you a pay check, you earn it. Proverbs 28:19 “He that tilleth (Works hands) his land shall have plenty of bread (No work, no reward). Release-sowing: Proverbs 11:24, 25 “There is he that scattered, and yet increaseth; and there is he that witholdeth more than is fitting, but it tendeth to poverty.” Scatter your money, it will increase, and you will be prosperous. Hoard to much of it, and you will be poor.” You mean I have to start giving my money to be prosperous? That doesn’t make sense. Luke 6:38 “Give and it shall be given unto you.”
Receiving Have you ever heard of a farmer who planted his seed and didn’t expect a return. It is godly to give expecting to receive. When God sent His Son, he expected to receive something in return: Sons and daughters. Jesus was a receiver, we see him, receive food, lodging, gifts, and even a donkey.
Reaping Galatians 6:6-9 “Be Not Deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” When will we reap? In due season.

SIN is the only thing that separates man from God, that hides his face from us. If we want to do well, we must confess our sins and abandon them, God promised to show mercy to those that forsake their sins. Be sincere and honest at least with God!

This is truth as I have witnessed it in my years on this earth.

Proverbs 28 is teaching us we have to live upright for God and for our neighbors stay in line of righteousness, don't covet anyone work for we want to live a holy life and God will give us our reward.

JESUS is AWESOME!

We see that God will bless anyone who will confess his faults, and forsake them then he will receive mercy. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. We pray that our leaders will read this proverb, and continue to help the poor. Jesus said the poor you will always have with you. There is not a righteous man upon the earth that does not sin. If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, then the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we confess our sin, God is faithful, and just to forgive us our sin, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

YOU NEVER KNOW >>>

he that coverth his sins shall not prosper,but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them,shall have mercy

Trying to confort Patty B. Eveyone beleivs in God no matter if he is aware of it or not. But a man who is not touched by the questions of his existence can not hear the call of the Holy Text. Keep Your faith Patty B. That is the best thing You can do.
