Recently, brother Stephen and I read Proverbs 13 together over fellowship and coffee. As you will see, we stopped at nearly every verse to discuss. Jaw droppingly profound wisdom. Stephen suggested that next week we bring index cards and begin to capture some of those platinum divine truths! A fresh reading of the book of Proverbs will alter your perspective of this fleeting world and instruct you in your walk with Christ. The contrasts and subject matter are divinely amazing.

Proverbs 13

1  A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

2  A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

3  He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

4  The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

5  A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

6  Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

7  There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

8  The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

9  The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

10  Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

11  Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

12  Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

13  Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

14  The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

15  Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

16  Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

17  A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

18  Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19  The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20  He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

21  Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

22  A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

23  Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

24  He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

25  The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Man Shall not Live by Bread Alone [podcast]


“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Spiritual growth occurs when we ingest the words of God, embrace, incorporate, and walk them out.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”Psalms 33:11

The graphic message below is from a dear sister in Christ named Cassandra, on SubStack:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, thank You for finding and forgiving me and saving me into Your eternal family. Help me realize the utter importance of feeding on Your Word daily. I love You dear LORD Jesus. Help me to love You more LORD. Help me to feed, to nourish the members of Your body with Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
