Proverbs 23 : 4-9
KJV
   
4 Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
for riches certainly make themselves wings;
they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool:
for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We gather in your presence,
coming from this world so full of suffering, grief,
and misfortune that we could well be afraid.
But we do not have to rely on this world.
We can come to you, the almighty God.
You are our Father,
and no matter what may come,
we remain your children and receive your blessing.
So protect us in this present time.
Even if a flood of evil seems about to break over us
and our hearts are heavy, you will uphold us.
You will strengthen us so that we can bear this time
patiently, hoping in you and in what you do for all people,
who are your people just as we are.
May the praise of your name be in our hearts
for ever and ever.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
