Proverbs Chapter 23 Discussion

Thank You!

Hello spiritual individuals, Peace

Verse 22-Parents have the responsibility to train their children, but children are expected to listen to the good advice and training from their parents.

Verse 24 and 25 show that when parents have trained their children in the discipline of Jehovah God and they have children that have followed their advice, they rejoice over the outcome of their children.

It's actually speaking about life and obeying the Holy Spirit and God's response to His children that obey Him! While not listening to the devils lies and doing his will Shalom!

To Fred: excellent comment on that verse!

I will remember that forever. Thank you.

You can google some commentaries on this. My 2 minute take: whores are unstable; stay a away from people who devalue things that God meant to be good and within the bond of marriage.

a deep ditch you will will not get out of , a narrow pit you may have yet a chance.

''For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.''

How do I interpret this?

Verse 15-This verse shows that we have the opportunity to make God's heart glad. What we do or don't do doesn't go unnoticed by Jehovah God.

This is one of God's law that we are supposed to honor, but people these days are so opposed to his laws and commandments because people have moved further away from God.

Amen Amen Amen

27 a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

Old saying: "Sin will take you FARTHER than you wanted to go; KEEP you longer than you

wanted to stay, and COST you more than you wanted to pay." That is the true nature of sin.

Verse 23: to obtain the truth found in God’s Word it takes hard work and sacrifice.

The Bible Proverbs 23:4 doesn't oppose hardwork. It rather wisely advice us not to stretch ourselves beyond limit in quest for wealthy else, one may worn out, becomes greedy, a miser, and above all one may have little or no time for God. It's important to note that it's not hardwork though it's a requirement that brings riches, but God's favour and opportunities Ecclesistes 9:11 .

"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Consider if you strive all your life to make money and never have time for your kids and family, they will suffer and so will you. Because all the money in the world can not make up for time and love.

Verse 20: The Bible condemns drunkenness so it is important to be moderate in our use of alcohol.

Proverbs 23
10-27
Summary: In the depths of the "Earth" the wicked is awaken in the "Eyes" of the wicked comes the sins of the "World". Casting out their deadly holds, the "World" becomes a new on the "Back" of the new "Son". Counting amoung your "Peers" holds the secrets of tomorrow. Proverbs 23_ 10-27

20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

This is wrong

I too have sin of gluttony. Andrea I hear you loud and clear. I always have to remember physically that my stomach is only as big as my fist. And that is what I try to remember when I eat anything. As long as we have enough food to fill that you can control eating and most of all talk with the Lord before during and after. Remember Your body belongs to the Lord. :) Not the devil.

first try to accept we are human and not perfect. So when fears creep in call on God. Be as patient as you can and let God handle the situation in his time and not yours.

For Andrea: I will keep you in prayer. Believe and know that your life is changing now!

God bless you!

PROVERBS IS A AWESAME EXPERIENCE TEACHING OF A HOLY LIFE . to have faith in mind and soul ,having a full assurerance of faight having our hearts sprinkled from evil conscience . blessed be tha name our father.

I was led here because of the sin of gluttony or overeating. It's a sin that I've been plagued with since childhood. It's a sin many Christians endure, yet many preachers aren't talking about this severe sin at their pulpits. I can attest that gluttony brings poverty. The spirit of poverty is upon my family, I'm constantly tired, and I dress in same clothes daily. Please pray for me,

Buy the truth, and sell it not; be willing to part with any thing for it. Do not part with it for pleasures, honours, riches, or any thing in this world. The heart is what the great God requires. We must not think to divide the heart between God and the world; he will have all or none. Look to the rule of God's word, the conduct of his providence, and the good examples of his people.

nothing can hinder God children from achieve their gold in life

the thoughts he thinks in his heart speaks of him of how he is

Im going through serious medical issues and proverbs 23 6 7 is exactly what I needed to clarify things.

God is always willing to supply all your needs, forget what you might be going through at the particular moment and thank Him that there is an End

Wow!very awesome!this is pure wisdom.reading proverbs is an daily requirement for my children. You can 't go wrong sharing this with your children, It backs up what we are supposed to be teaching them.They may not believe us all the time but Surely they will fear the word of God as this proverb tells us .leaving the child alone will only make them woarse and hell bound.
