Join us in today’s prayer and devotion: -Praying Thru Proverbs: 10: 1-17:

10 A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.
² Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
³ The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
⁴ A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
⁵ He who gathers in summer is a prudent son,
but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.
⁶ Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.^[a]
7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
⁸ The wise of heart will receive commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
⁹ Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
¹⁰ Whoever winks the eye causes trouble,
and a babbling fool will come to ruin.
¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
¹³ On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found,
but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.
¹⁴ The wise lay up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
¹⁵ A rich man’s wealth is his strong city;
the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life,
the gain of the wicked to sin.
¹⁷ Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. –ESV
