Proverbs 23:17,26 - "Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. My son, give me thine heart,  and let thine eyes observe my ways." I want my children to love, fear, and serve the Lord through all of their lives.  I do not want something that I do to move them from those goals.  Let's pray, that as the leaders in our homes, we will lead our children in the right way, not only with our words, but with our actions as well. - Jason Myers

Proverbs 18:24 - “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Proverbs 27:9 “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.”Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” The Bible states being the right friend and being a friend is important. Help us to be a good Christian friend and witness to the lost. Christ is the best friend we can have. - Clifford Myers

Proverbs 16:3 - "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."  God wants us to obey even though we may not understand.  Once we obey, we will begin to grow in our understanding. - John Mark Brothers

Proverbs 4:26 - “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”  Proverbs 4 gives Godly advice from a father to his children.  Our children, grandchildren and others watch us, so let’s make sure our steps and ways are on the right path.  “Acorns don’t fall far from the oak tree” as Pastor has stated in reference to our children as they grow up.  Let’s be consistent in our walk with Christ. - Clifford Myers

Proverbs 10:4 - "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the  diligent maketh rich." In our day I believe that one of the greatest witnesses we have is our Christian character.  Many people have no interest or time for God, but when they see us working hard no matter what our task at work, it may give us opportunities to speak for Christ. - Matt Stephens

Proverbs 19:21 - "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand."  We have heard some great counsel from the Word of God the last few nights   Let's make sure we put those things into practice today. - John Mark Brothers

Proverbs 12:11 -"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."  I like this verse partially because I have a large garden and God gives us a lot of good things from it.  I also see it to mean that if we teach our children about Jesus and what's right, we will see the fruits of our labor if their lives.  - Phil Dann

Proverbs 4:18 - "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Continue to be faithful in daily doing what is right and the Lord will lead you where He wants you and your family.  Remember the words of Abraham's servant "I being in the way,  the Lord led me ..." (Genesis 24:27). - Jason Myers

Proverbs 20:4 - "The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing." This verse is mostly used to talk about the importance of hard work, but there is very much a spiritual application here also. We've heard several messages recently about our job as Christians to win souls, but it is so easy to come up with excuses for not doing it. Let's be looking for opportunities to work for Christ, instead of looking for excuses to get out of it. It would be a shame to stand before God at judgement(harvest) with nothing to show for the life He gave us. - Brian Boots

Proverbs 11:1 - "A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight" This verse can be applied in so many areas of our life. Our Pastor has said for years that as men we will never achieve true balance in our lives, but we should strive to keep our priorities straight. - Wes Smith

Proverbs 3:5-6 - “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  The times when I went on my own understanding and the issues that occurred w/o going to Christ for guidance and direction I can’t do over. The times when I trusted everything to Christ, the problems/concerns were resolved a lot better than I would have ever done.  The word “all” convicts that Christ’s leadership and trust is to be 24/7 in every part of our life.  Help us and myself to trust and do put Christ first 24/7 in all aspects/issues of our lives and families.  - Clifford Myers

Proverbs 20:12 - "The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them."  How are we using the parts that God made for us?  At work, home, etc.  Are we taking in what God would like to hold in His vessel?  - Phil Dann

Proverbs 22:28. - "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." We live in a society that is removing all the normals of Traditional American life.  Marriage has never had to be "defined" before. Persecution of Christians has always been spoken against  by this country until this century. Bibles in school were never considered "offensive".  We must lead our families and church and nation back to the landmarks that we were founded on lest we loose the land we love. - Matt Stephens

Proverbs 14:9 - "Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour." At work, all day long I am around people who laugh at their sin. If I'm not careful, it stops bothering me. We must ask God for a hedge of protection. A righteous man finds favor with God, but he even finds favor with sinful men. - Brian Boots

Proverbs 2:1,5 - "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; ... Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God."  This is not just to sons, but to us as part of being a child of God.  Do we understand what God is trying to show us?  If not, what is taking the place of God's Word in our hearts? - Phil Dann

Proverbs 3:7 - "Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." Too often, we think our ideas are the best and only way there is. Solomon here admonishes us to take our focus off of how smart we think we are, and focus on fearing the Lord and running from evil. That's some wise counsel. No question, a truly wise man will heed this advice. - Brian Boots

Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." We must remember how powerful our words can be for both encouragement or destructiveness. Think before you speak! - Wes Smith

Proverbs 16:2 - "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty."  I often quote this verse to my sons hoping they do not inherit their dad's temper.  As Christians, we need to make a conscious effort to control our tongue, actions, and attitude before others when things for whatever reason don't go our way.  If that is just the way you are and sometimes you just can't help it, then work on changing it.  We are often known by the way we handle things.  Using good judgement, patience, and reason is a great way to show Christ to others. - Jason Brothers

Proverbs 28:4 - "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them." Ask yourself this question: "Whose side am I fighting for today? " Your level of obedience to God's Word shows which one. Let's not let Satan use us to fight his battles. - Jason Myers

Psalms 119:105 - “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”  The Bible when read and applied is compared to a lamp and a light for each step and path forward in our life.  Like using a flashlight at night to ensure one doesn’t trip or stumble, GOD promises that his Word will be a lamp and light to keep one from stumbling or tripping in their Christian walk.  Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  Let’s remember to not forget daily Bible reading. - Clifford Myers
