The Warning From The Wise is to be cautious of certain social situations and to be warned that being the guest of a miserly man or ungenerous woman is very likely to blow up in your face, because their apparent generosity is hidden behind a hypocritical attitude or some deceptive motive. Although such a person may offer lavish delicacies or provide generous gifts, we are warned that if their heart is not with you, their attitude may turn on you and become sour even though their superficial conduct may appear to be sweet, such a relationship can easily turn bitter. May we exhibit wisdom in situations where we are confronted with hypocritical people who display an apparently generous spirit while hiding behind a mean and miserly streak or we may become the unsuspecting victim of a mean, miserly person or fall into the trap of someone who displays apparent kindness, while concealing some ulterior motive. They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the words of wisdom in this book of Proverbs and for the warning to be cautious of hypocritical people who put on a show of generosity, but are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Give us wisdom and discernment as we travel through life so that we are prevented from falling into a trap. We know that as a person thinks, so are they. Purify our thoughts, we pray, and may the words of our mouths and the thoughts of our hearts, reflect the grace and truth of Christ Jesus our Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
