The Bible – Proverbs 28
1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3
A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7
Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10
Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12
When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14
Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21
To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22
He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25
He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Summary; The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” A guilty conscience is a terrible thing, but is a prerequisite for confident living and spiritual boldness. We can see in this that the wicked flee because they are guilty of sin and they know it.
Closing Prayer;Oh Lord, I am ill and feel frightened and alone as I have no one to care for me. I have no one who is really interested in me at all, and I feel lost and alone and so vulnerable. And now Lord Jesus, I have come down with this sickness and I feel so ill. Lord, I ask You please to make me well again soon, and lift up my sagging spirit, I pray.
I know Lord in my heart that I am not alone, because You are with me, which is the real reason that I am praying to You now, because You promised to be with me and never to leave me or forsake me, even when everyone else does. Be with me now I pray, and reach out Your healing hand of blessing and touch me Lord. Please make me feel better, not only in my body but also in my life, I pray.
Thank You, that I can call on You in times of trouble or illness or loneliness, and know that You are always there to hear and answer, to heal and comfort and help. Lord, I pray that You would help me to really apply this truth in my life, not just when I am sick, but every day. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
those who wish to become a child of our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Heavenly Father: I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
