Proverbs 20

THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON

¹ Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.
Those led astray by drink cannot be wise. ² The king’s fury is like a lion’s roar;
to rouse his anger is to risk your life. ³ Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling. ⁴ Those too lazy to plow in the right season
will have no food at the harvest. ⁵ Though good advice lies deep within the heart,
a person with understanding will draw it out. ⁶ Many will say they are loyal friends,
but who can find one who is truly reliable? ⁷ The godly walk with integrity;
blessed are their children who follow them. ⁸ When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the

evidence,
distinguishing the bad from the good.
⁹ Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart;
I am pure and free from sin”? ¹⁰ False weights and unequal measures 1 -
the Lord detests double standards of every kind. ¹¹ Even children are known by the way they act,
whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right. ¹² Ears to hear and eyes to see -
both are gifts from the Lord . ¹³ If you love sleep, you will end in poverty.
Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat! ¹⁴ The buyer haggles over the price, saying, “It’s worthless,”
then brags about getting a bargain! ¹⁵ Wise words are more valuable
than much gold and many rubies. ¹⁶ Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners. 2 ¹⁷ Stolen bread tastes sweet,
but it turns to gravel in the mouth. ¹⁸ Plans succeed through good counsel;
don’t go to war without wise advice. ¹⁹ A gossip goes around telling secrets,
so don’t hang around with chatterers. ²⁰ If you insult your father or mother,
your light will be snuffed out in total darkness. ²¹ An inheritance obtained too early in life
is not a blessing in the end. ²² Don’t say, “I will get even for this wrong.”
Wait for the Lord to handle the matter. ²³ The Lord detests double standards;
he is not pleased by dishonest scales. ²⁴ The Lord directs our steps,
so why try to understand everything along the way? ²⁵ Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost. ²⁶ A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat,
then runs his threshing wheel over them. ²⁷ The Lord ’s light penetrates the human spirit, 3
exposing every hidden motive. ²⁸ Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king;
his throne is made secure through love. ²⁹ The glory of the young is their strength;
the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old. ³⁰ Physical punishment cleanses away evil; 4
such discipline purifies the heart. 

If you just started reading the Bible and have not yet asked Jesus into your heart to become your Lord and Savior, all you have to do is:

A - ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER

Roman 3:23 

For everyone has
sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.        

Acts 3:19 
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

B - BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD'S SON AND ACCEPT GOD'S GIFT OF FORGIVENESS FROM SIN

Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household"

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father except through me."


Ephesians 2:8-9 ....8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

C - CONFESS YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD

Roman 10:9-10, 13  

9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart the God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

If you are ready to ask Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, you can pray a simple prayer like this to God.

Dear God, 

I know I have sinned and my sin separates me from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive. God please forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior and Lord. I will obey You and live for You the rest of my life, Thank You in Jesus' name I Pray.
Amen

GOD BLESS OUR NATION
