Good morning, Fam here is today's devotional.

Proverbs 13:24

“Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.”
Proverbs 13:24 NLT

God gives us instructions out of love. We might think that it would be easier if God didn’t give us His law, but eventually we would feel abandoned and unlove. God knows what is best for us in every situation, and we know of His love because He is with us to guide us every step of the way. We would be completely lost if we could not feel God’s presence in our lives. Thankfully, we never have to worry about that happening.

Prayer: Father, I thank You that Your presence is in my life. Though sometimes I do not want to be told what to do, I know that Your word is given out of love and concern for me. Make me open to Your instructions. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:23

“A poor person’s farm may produce much food, but injustice sweeps it all away.”
Proverbs 13:23 NLT

Injustice should touch us at the very root of our soul. That part of us which is in God’s image should be enraged by the unfairness in our world. And it should be the Christ in us which compels us to try to fight injustice wherever we see it. We may not be rich or powerful, but we do control our actions and our resources. We have the ability to refuse to support others who would take advantage of the poor. We can speak out against injustice, and we can offer comfort to anyone who is persecuted. When we do this, we have the joy of our heavenly Father.

Prayer: Father, our is a world of great injustice and inequality. Please guide me that I might work to change the way things are. Open my eyes to the plight of the poor and lead me in the way that I might combat it. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:19-21

“It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them. Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous.”
Proverbs 13:19-21 NLT

If we choose to follow in the footsteps of fools, we will also have to suffer the consequences. When we walk along blindly, we are in danger of falling into sin. We must watch our steps and turn from that which is evil. It is our obligation to flee from sin and evil. If we keep company with fools, we will be destroyed by our own folly. It is much better for us to surround ourselves with those who are committed to what is right and good. Then we will not have to fear the results, for God will see our efforts, and He will reward us richly.

Prayer: Father, let the company I keep influences me greatly. Help me to discern who I should avoid. Let my company be a blessing to others and lead me in all Your ways. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:18

“If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored.”
Proverbs 13:18 NLT

People can see from the outside things we might miss from the inside. Having the integrity and wisdom to seek out the counsel of others shows a definite desire to grow. We can do little else that is so pleasing to God. Only a fool refuses to listen to the observations of others. That person is too insecure to listen, and too self-centered to want to grow.

Prayer: Father, bless me that I might grow to my full potential. Inspire me by Your word and by the example of Your Son Jesus Christ. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may closely resemble You in all I do. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:16

“Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.”
Proverbs 13:16 NLT

Sometimes it is hard to know when to keep our mouths shut. We foolishly talk about things better left unsaid. The wise man and woman learn early when to hold his or her tongue. There is nothing to be gained by bragging of our misdeeds. Those things should be forgotten quickly, and the good things that we can do should be shared instead. God is not proud of us when we commit sins, and He is doubly displeased when we brag about them. God rejoices at the right that we do, and He respects us more when we learn to speak discreetly and wisely.

Prayer: Father, I ask that You guide my words. Guard that I may never speak proudly of things I have done wrong but let me repent totally and be made clean. Let my words be words of kindness and charity and help me to know when it is better not to speak at all. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:13

“Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded.”
Proverbs 13:13 TPT

If people reject the opportunity to read the scriptures and come to know the truth about Christ, they will not get a second chance. Anyone who despises the word of God will have no place with God in the final times. It is the person who reads the Bible and lives his life accordingly who will receive the reward of life everlasting. There is no greater book in existence, and it behooves each person to take its contents very seriously. Only a foolish person criticizes something that he has never read. It is the prudent person who makes time to investigate, then draws a conclusion based on what he or she has experienced.

Prayer: Father, You are real to me through the reading of Your word. Assist me as I attempt to spread Your word and bring others to the threshold of Your truth contained in the old and new Testament. Bless this effort. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Proverbs 13:12

“When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.”
Proverbs 13:12 TPT

Waiting is never easy, but when we are anticipating something hoped for and it doesn’t appear, we have to fight the disappointment and sometimes fear. However, when our desire finally arrives, the joy is even greater. As we Christians await our eternal home, we grow more appreciative as time goes by. When it is finally ours, our joy will be overwhelming.

Prayer: Father, patience is one thing I could use more of. Lord as I look toward heaven and long to be united with You, please fill me with Your patience and allow me to learn all I can during my earthly stay. In Jesus’ name Amen

Proverbs 13:11

“Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow.”
Proverbs 13:11 TPT

It is good to be satisfied with what we receive as wages for the labors we pursue. What we receive as wages for the work we do is money well received and deserved. We can be proud of the fact that we work hard for our money. It is right that we should receive gain for the effort we put forth. God rewards those who are steadfast in their labors. Those who receive wealth for their vanities have already received their reward.

Prayer: Father, make me steadfast in my endeavors. Keep my eyes set on my labors, bless all my efforts. Let me feel the joy and contentment that honest labor brings. In Jesus’ name Amen.
