Proverbs 3 : 9-19
KJV


9 Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies:
and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth;
by understanding hath he established the heavens.





Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for ruling us with your shepherd's staff
so that again and again we can be refreshed and
can delight in what you are doing for us.
We thank you that we can have eager, joyful faith
even when sorrows come,
looking again and again to the good you give us.
We are thankful and want to be thankful always.
Be a mighty Lord over the peoples, we pray,
and protect our country.
Show your sovereignty by guarding the flock
close beside you and by pouring out your grace
to give life to the dying and resurrection to
those who have died.
O Lord God, hear and bless us.
May your will be done on earth as in heaven,
so that your kingdom may break in and everything
may come right, according to your great purpose."


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

Amen
