I recently had a pleasant encounter with this scripture

Luke 15:7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

It was joyous.

This verse is topical at the moment...

I pray for wise and knowledeable leaders for the nation, may your will be done O Lord!

2 When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.
But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.

13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy

Proverbs 28:

Amen.

Amen!!!! God help our nations and our leaders to look to HIM for guidance and protection. (((hug)))

5 Evil men do not understand justice,
But those who seek the Lord understand all.

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

Proverbs 28:

Ignoring the Poor and the Suffering.

God sees ALL things. When we walk past, avert our eyes, turn the channel, ignore, rendering the poor, the cast aside, the dejected and rejected, and the suffering "invisible", we bring condemnation on ourselves. Even if the suffering ones say not a word, their heart cries are heard by God, and their "heart cries" condemn us for leaving them in suffering misery, in silence, and invisible, as if they nor their suffering exists.

"He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse." ~Proverbs 28:27

I pray for the poor and the suffering; our Church supports the suffering abroad, it is so terrible to see, Lord have mercy

This is soooooooo timely right now.

Amen.

Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse. Prov. 28:6

If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable. v.9

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. v.13

9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.

Amen. We can't try to "fool" God, and not take Him seriously and then attempt to "pray" to Him.

Proverbs 28.

"Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things." ~Proverbs 28:5
