My Thoughts on Proverbs 22:
Today, I was touched by verse 1: A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. I think a good reputation is just as important today as it was in the days of Solomon. People with good reputations in their chosen fields and in the way they interact with others are favored. This is wise advice with no expiration date.
My Prayer:
Lord God,
I pray that You end the scourge of this pandemic.
As I read verse 6: Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. I praise for the parents that You gave me and the way that they raise me. I praise You for the children You gave, the strength You gave me and my wife as we raised them And, I praise You for my grandchildren and the joy I get in watching my children raise their children. Thank You God for my family.
Verse 4: By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life, reminds me to pray for my leaders. God I pray that they lead with humility and respect for You. That they would do the honorable thing and put politics aside and do what is best for the people.
And once again Lord I pray that the church be revived. I pray that we will not waste the wilderness journey of shelter-in-place and lockdown. That we have rediscovered Your Word and we have spent time on face repenting.
God I pray that as the church revives that it would spark another Great Awakening in this Land.
I pray all these things in Jesus, name. Amen.
