    Esther 6-10: Coincidence? I Think Not

    Transcript Podcast Introduction This is history Tuesday, and we will finish the book of Esther by reading chapters 6-10, which will also complete our reading of the entire Bible for season 12 of the Lifespring Family Audio Bible, the last “live” season of the show. I’m calling today’s show, “Coincidence? I Think Not.” Design: Steve Webb | Photo: Tim Webb Comments on Esther 6 Do you believe that God orders events in the lives of people to accomplish His plans? There are some people who believe that once God finished His work of creation, He stepped away and let events on earth happen on their own. Seems like a foolish notion to me. Here in Esther 6, we have an example of how God orchestrates the events of man for His purposes. The king is unable to sleep on the very night that Haman is plotting to kill Mordecai, so he does what many of us do. He decides to read a book, hoping that will make him sleepy. Think of it. Ahasuerus is the king of the most powerful kingdom on earth, so he could have done almost anything for a diversion, but he chooses to read a book. He orders that a book of remembrances be brought to him. He had a kingdom of 127 provinces, so I can imagine that this book of remembrances had several volumes, can’t you? But the person who was tasked with bringing the book brought the volume that included the account of how Mordecai saved the king from assassination. And the servant opened the book to the very page with that record. What are the odds? Well, with God, the odds are 100%. Without God, who knows? There had to have been many remembrances in the book, but on this specific night, this specific page was opened.  Do you believe that God orders events in the lives of people to accomplish His plans? Of course He does. Has God ever intervened in your life like this? Can you remember a time where the course of your life was changed by a seemingly random event? Let me tell you about a time this happened to me. It happened in 2004. It was a Saturday in September, I think. I turned on the radio to listen to a talk show about technology. It was normally a call-in type show where people would ask the host for help with their tech devices. But when I turned on the radio, the host was interviewing a guy, and the guy was telling the host about new thing he had invented where radio-type shows could be automatically downloaded to people’s computers. And better still, every time a new show was created, the new episodes would just show up on their computers. And then, they could transfer the new shows to their portable mp3 player and listened to whenever they wanted. This idea sounded pretty interesting to me, having been in radio in the late 70s and early 80s.  Of course, this new invention was podcasting. The interviewer was Leo Laporte and the interviewee was Adam Curry, whom I am now happy to not only call my friend, but ecstatic to call my brother in the Lord, but that’s a different story. Or is it?  Just a week or so before I heard this interview, I had asked God what more I could do to serve Him. I was already the tech guy at my church and putting a lot of time into that, but I wanted to do more for God since He had been so very good to me and had blessed me with a wonderful wife, great kids, a business that paid the bills and a home. I just wanted to be available to do whatever God had for me. I prayed and asked God what more I could do, and His answer was a very clear, almost audible, “Proclaim my name.” So, was it just a random event when I heard Adam Curry telling Leo Laporte about podcasting? I don’t think so. God prompted me to turn on the radio at just the right time, and on November 13, 2004 I uploaded the world’s first Christian podcast to my church’s website. Within days I received emails from around the world telling me stories of how God was using my podcast to bring them to Jesus. God was using my little podcast in miraculous ways.  But the story doesn’t end there. From the first podcast, that I called “Lifespring!”, I created several other podcasts, one of which was the Lifespring Family Audio Bible. Because of that show, a person asked me to record the entire Douay Rheims Bible, and because of that project, I wrote Webb’s Easy Bible Names Pronunciation Guide, which was published in 2012 and has helped many, many people as they study and teach and preach God’s Word. Also, because of podcasting, I have a career doing voice overs for radio and TV commercials, videos for companies around the world, church videos, and so much more, something I never dreamed could happen. My life was changed when God orchestrated events on that September Saturday in 2004. Do you believe that God orders events in the lives of people to accomplish His plans? I most certainly do.

This is History Tuesday, and we’ll finish the book of Esther by reading chapters 6 through 10 which will also complete our reading of the entire Bible for season 12 of the Lifespring Family Audio Bible, the last live season of the show. More about that a bit later. I’m calling today’s episode “Coincidence? I Think Not.” As promised on yesterday’s show. I’ll be talking about my plans for the future after my comments on Esther today. I’ll be sharing some of the ideas that came in from the “The Next Step” emails you sent in. And of course, we’ll have a time of prayer. Today’s show notes page is at lifespringmedia.com/s12e363. Let’s begin. ESTHER 6 (ESV) – 1:12 Esther, chapter 6. (1) On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. (2) And it was found written how Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. (3) And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king’s young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” (4) And the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s palace to speak to the king about having Mordecai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him. (5) And the king’s young men told him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” (6) So Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What should be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” (7) And Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, (8) let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set. (9) And let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king’s most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, proclaiming before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.’” (10) Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry; take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.” (11) So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.” (12) Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered. (13) And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him.” (14) While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared. ESTHER 7 (ESV) – 3:35 Esther, chapter 7. (1) So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther. (2) And on the second day, as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again said to Esther, “What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.” (3) Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. (4) For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.” (5) Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and wher

Afterward, he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east, and behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the East. His voice was like the sound of many waters in the earth shown with his glory. It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the river key bar, and I fell on my face, and the glory of the Lord came into the temple by the way of the gate, which faces toward the east. The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Then I heard him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne in the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defiled My Holy Name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry, or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places. When they set their threshold by my threshold, and their doorposts, by my door post, with a wall between them and me, they defiled My Holy Name by the abominations which they committed, therefore, I have consumed them in my anger. Now, let them put their harlotry in the carcasses of their kings far away from me, and I will dwell in their midst forever, Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities, and let them measure the pattern. And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design in all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws, write it down in their site, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances and perform them. This is the law of the temple, the whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy, behold, this is the law of the temple. These are the measurements of the altar in cubits, the qubit is one qubit and a handbreadth. The base one qubit high and one qubit wide with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar. From the base on the ground to the lower ledge two qubits, the width of the ledge, one qubit, from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits and the width of the ledge one qubit. The altar hearth is for qubit tie with four horns extending upward from the hearth. The altar hearth is 12 qubits long, 12 wide square at its four corners, the ledge, 14 cubits long in 14 wide on its four sides, with a ram of half a qubit around it. Its base one qubit all around, and it steps face toward the east. And he said to me, Son of man, Thus says the Lord God, these are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it. You shall give a young bowl for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of say, Doc who approached me to minister to me, says the Lord God, You shall take some of its blind and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge and on the rim around it. Thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it. Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering and burn it in the appointed place at the temple outside the sanctuary. On the second day, you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall cleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bowl. When you have finished cleansing it you shall offer a young bowl without blemish and a ram from the flock without blemish. When you offer them before the Lord, the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. Every day for seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young boy And around from the flock, both without blemish. Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar in purified and so consecrated. When these days are over, it shall be on the eighth day and thereafter that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar. And I will accept you says the Lord God. Steve Webb 5:20 Ezekiel chapter 44. Then he brought me back to the aggregate of the sanctuary, which faces toward the east, but it was shut. And the Lord said to me, this gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it, therefore it shall be shot. As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before the Lord, he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway and go out the same way. Steve Webb 5:51 Also, he brought me by way of the North Gate to the front of the temple. So I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell on my face. And the Lord said to me, Son of man, Mark, well see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all its laws. Mark Well, who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary. Now say to the rebellious to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, oh, House of Israel, let us have no more of your abominations. When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary to defile it, my house, and when you offered my food, the fat and the blood, then they broke my covenant because of all your abominations, and you have not kept charge of my holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you. Thus says the Lord God, no foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh shall enter my sanctuary, including any foreigner who was among the children of Israel, and the Levites, who went far from me when Israel went astray, who strayed away from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity, yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house, they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them, because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity. Therefore I have raised my hand in an oath against them, says the Lord God, that they shall bear their iniquity, And they shall not come near me to minister to me as priest, nor come near any of my holy things, nor into the most holy place, but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed. Nevertheless, I will make them keep charge of the temple for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it. But the priests, the Levites, the sons of say, Doc, who kept charge of my sanctuary, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat in the blood, says the Lord God, they shall enter my sanctuary, and they shall come near my table to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge. And it shall be whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen garments, no wolf shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court, or within the house. They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat. When they go out to the outer court, to the outer court, to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and put on other garments, and in their holy garments, they shall not sanctify the people, they shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long, but they shall keep their hair well trimmed. No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court. They shall not take his wife, a widow or a divorced woman, but take versions of the descendants of the house of Israel, or widows of priests, and they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. In controversy, they shall stand as judges and judges according to my judgments. They shall keep my laws and my statutes and all my appointed meetings, and th

    Proverbs 14-15: Shelter From the Storm

    Transcript Podcast Introduction Today our reading is Proverbs 14-15. Afterwards, I’ll have some thoughts to share with you, and I’m calling today’s episode “Shelter From the Storm.” Design: Steve Webb | Photo: Dorin Vancea on Unsplash Comments on In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence and his children have a refuge. Proverbs 14:26  HCSB In doing background study on these chapters that are so full of wisdom, I came upon some notes by Joseph Parker in “The People’s Bible” about this verse. The Fear of the Lord “In no book probably is the fear of the Lord so elaborately described as to its nature and its application as the book of Proverbs. Throughout the whole of the Bible the fear of the Lord is declared to be the beginning of wisdom. It is not a servile fear; the worshiper here is not a croucher, waiting in an abject position in order to be noticed by a tyrannical despot: fear means reference, veneration, awe, a sense of the grandeur and majesty of the Lord, not only as that term stands for infinity, brilliance, and attributes of an intellectual kind, but as it stands for holiness, truth, purity, justice, and every expression that indicates moral supremacy.  Not Afraid He who fears the Lord is strong in the confidence of ultimate justice; he is confident also in the final exposition of Providence, being assured that the way of God to man will be so revealed at last that it will be seen to have been the right way, the only true way, notwithstanding the varieties of the road, the steep hills, the bleak deserts, the stony paths, the cold rivers that had to be crossed in the dark night, the afflictions that had to be endured when the heart and flesh had failed and strength had been exhausted —at the last it will be seen that God has not given one stroke too much, taken away one treasure too many, or dug one grave too deep; the righteous will be the first to confess that God has done all things wisely, well, and lovingly. A Loving Father A beautiful expression is “his children.” Here in the very midst of the Proverbs we find the sublime doctrine of the fatherhood of God. Here too we find that God’s children need a place of refuge; they have often to flee from the storm, from the wrath of man, and from an apparently angry nature, for every law seems to fight against them; blessed be God, when all outward things are marked by an excitement of an apparently uncontrollable kind, are heaving and tossing as if shaken by an earthquake, the children of God can go not to law but to the lawmaker himself, yea, to the very heart of God, and there can rest in hope and confidence, and while the storm howls without around the rock of the sanctuary, that holy place can be filled with sacred and triumphant song. Have we really endeavored to find a refuge in God?” There are many places where the fear of the Lord is spoken of. Remember Joseph Parker’s beautiful words the next time you read the phrase “the fear of the Lord.” Today’s Bible Translation Bible translation used in today’s episode: Ch. 14-15 HCSB Support This a value for value podcast.

Steve Webb 0:12 Hello, this is the Lifespring family Audio Bible coming to you from Riverside, California, podcasting since 2004. I am your OG God Gaster Steve Webb, welcome what’s new. This is the daily show where we’re reading through the entire Bible in a year. Today’s show will be longer than yesterday’s, but still somewhat abbreviated, I hope to have a complete show for you tomorrow. Today our reading is Proverbs 14 and 15. And I will have some thoughts to share with you afterward. I’m calling today’s episode shelter from the storm. Let’s get started. Steve Webb 0:45 Proverbs chapter 14. Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands. Whoever lives with integrity fears the Lord, but the one who is devious in his ways despises him. The proud speech of a fool brings a rod of discipline, but the lips of the wise protect them. Where there are no oxen the feeding trough is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of an ox. An honest witness does not deceive but a dishonest witness others lies. a mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it. But knowledge comes easily to the perceptive. Stay away from a foolish man, you will gain no knowledge from his speech. The sensible man’s wisdom is to consider his way but the stupidity of fools to seize them. Fools mock it making restitution, but there is goodwill among the upright. The heart knows its own bitterness, and no outsider shares in its joy. The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will stand. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Even in laughter a heart may be sad, and joy may end in grief. The disloyal one will get what his conduct deserves, and a good man what his deeds deserve. The inexperienced one believes anything, but the sensible one watches his steps. A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil. But a fool is easily angered and is careless. A quick tempered man acts foolishly, and a man who schemes is hated. The inexperienced inherit foolishness, but the sensible are crowned with knowledge, the evil bow before those who were good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous. A poor man is hated even by his neighbor. But there are many who love the rich, the one who despises his neighbor sins, but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy. Don’t those who plan evil go astray? But those who plan good find loyalty and faithfulness. There is profit in all hard work, but endless talk leads only to poverty. The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the foolishness of fools produces foolishness. The truthful witness rescues lives but one who utters lies is deceitful. In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence and his children have a refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning people away from the snares of death. A large population is a king’s splendor, but a shortage of people is a rulers devastation. A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick tempered one promotes foolishness. A tranquil heart is life to the body. But jealousy is rottenness to the bones. The one who oppresses the poor person insults his maker, but one who was kind to the needy honors him. The wicked one is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous one has a refuge in his death. Wisdom resides in the heart of the discerning she is known even among fools. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. A king favors a wise servant, but his anger falls on a disgraceful one. Steve Webb 4:23 Proverbs chapter 15. A gentle answer turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up rap. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge attractive, but the mouth of fools blurts out foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere observing the wicked and the good. The tongue that heals is a tree of life, but a devious tongue breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father’s discipline, but a person who accepts correction is sensible. The House of the righteous has great wealth, but trouble Companies the income of the wicked, the lips of the wise broadcast knowledge, but not so the heart of fools. Steve Webb 5:09 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves the one who pursues righteousness. Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path. The one who hates correction will die. She olan a baton ly opened before the Lord, how much more human hearts. a mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him, he will not consult the wise. A joyful heart makes a face cheerful, but a sad heart produces a broken spirit. A discerning mind seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. All the days of the oppressed are miserable. But a cheerful heart has a continual feast. Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with turmoil. Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fat and docks with hatred. A hot tempered men stirs up conflict, but a man slow to anger calms strife. A slackers way is like a thorny hedge of the path of the upright is a highway. A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother. Foolishness brings joy to one without sense but a man with understanding walks a straight path. plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisors they succeed. A man takes joy in giving an answer and a timely word, how good that is. for the discerning the path of life leads upward so that he may avoid going down to she’ll the Lord destroys the house of the proud, but he protects the widows territory. The Lord detests the plans of an evil man. But Pleasant words are pure. The one who prophets dishonestly troubles his household, but the one who hates bribes will live. The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things. The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous, Bright Eyes cheer the heart. Good news strengthens the bones. One who listens to life giving rebukes will be at home among the wise. Anyone who ignore His discipline despises himself, but whoever listens to correction acquires good sense. The fear of the Lord is what wisdom teaches and humility comes before honor. Steve Webb 7:53 Today, I’m just going to focus on one verse, Proverbs 14:26, which says, in the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence and his childre

Lord, through all the generations you’ve been our home, Before the mountains were born before you gave birth to the earth and the world from beginning to end. You are God. You turn people back to dust saying returned to dust you mortals for you. 1000 years are as a passing day. as brief as a few night hours. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They’re like grass that springs up in the morning. In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and weathered. We wither beneath your anger. We are overwhelmed by your fury. You spread out our sins before you our secret sins, and you see them all. We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a grown 70 years are given to us. Some even live to 80. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble. Soon they disappear and we fly away. Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life so that we may grow in wisdom. Oh Lord, come back to us. How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants. satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love. So we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery. Replace the evil yours with good. Let us Your servants see you work again. Let our children see your glory. And may the Lord our God, show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful. Steve Webb 3:10 Psalms chapter 91. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, my place of safety. He is my God and I trust him for he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers, he will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor in protection. Do not be afraid of the terrorists of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes it mid day, though 1000 fall at your side, though 10,000 are dying around you. Those evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge if you make the Most High your shelter, No evil will conquer you know plague will come near your home for he will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in My Name. When they call on me I will answer I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Steve Webb 4:42 Psalms chapter 92. It is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim Your unfailing love in the morning. Your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by a 10 stringed instrument, a harp and the melody of a liar You thrill me, Lord with all you’ve done for me, I sing for joy because of what you have done. Oh, Lord, what great works you do, and how deep are your thoughts? Only a simpleton would not know and only a fool would not understand this. Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But You oh Lord will be exalted forever. Your enemies Lord will surely perish. All evil doers will be scattered, but you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil. My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies. My ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents, but the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon, for they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age, they will still produce fruit, they will remain vital in green, they will declare the Lord is just he is my rock. There is no evil in him.

This is a daily show where we are reading through the entire Bible in a year. And this is going to be a truncated episode. I’m afraid I’m having some more atrial fibrillation today.

If you’d be so kind as to pray for me that would be very much appreciated. So for now, I’m going to say See you later and until tomorrow when our reading will be Ezekiel 31 through 36. May God bless you richly. Thank you for being here. My name is Steve Webb, bye. Steve Webb 0:59 Proverbs chapter 11. Steve Webb 1:01 The Lord hates people who use dishonest scales. He is happy with honest weights. People who are proud will soon be disgraced. It is wiser to be modest. If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can’t be trusted or destroyed by their own dishonesty. riches will do you no good on the day you face death, but honesty can save your life. Honesty makes a good person’s life easier, but the wicked will cause their own downfall. Righteousness rescues those who are honest, but those who can’t be trusted are trapped by their own greed. When the wicked die, their hope dies with them. Confidence placed in riches comes to nothing. The righteous are protected from trouble, it comes to the wicked instead, you can be ruined by the talk of godless people, but the wisdom of the righteous can save you. A city is happy when honest people have good fortune. And there are joyful shouts when the wicked die. A city becomes great when the righteous give it their blessing. But a city is brought to ruin by the words of the wicked. It is foolish to speak scornfully of others. If you’re smart, you will keep quiet. No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret but you can put confidence in someone who was trustworthy. A nation will fall if it has no guidance. Many advisors mean security. If you promise to pay a stranger’s debt, you will regret it. You are better off if you don’t get involved. A gracious woman is respected but a woman without virtue is a disgrace. Lazy people will never have money but aggressive people will get rich. You do yourself a favor when you’re a kind. If you’re a cruel you only hurt yourself. Wicked people do not really gain anything. But if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded. Anyone who was determined to do right will live but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die. The Lord hates evil minded people, but loves those who do right. You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the righteous will escape. Beauty and a woman without good judgment is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. What good people want always results in good. When the wicked get what they want. Everyone is angry. Some people spend their money freely and still grow richer. Others are cautious and yet grow poorer. Be generous and you will be prosperous, help others and you will be helped people curse someone who hoards grain waiting for a higher price, but they praise the one who puts it up for sale. If your goals are good, you will be respected. But if you’re looking for trouble, this is what you will get. Those who depend on their wealth will fall like the leaves of autumn, but the righteous will prosper like the leaves of summer. Those who bring trouble on their families will have nothing at the end. Foolish people will always be servants to the wise. Righteousness gives life but violence takes it away. Those who were good are rewarded here on Earth, so you can be sure that wicked and sinful people will be punished. Steve Webb 4:21 Proverbs chapter 12. Steve Webb 4:24 Those who love discipline, love knowledge, and those who hate correction are stupid. The Lord favors good people, but he condemns schemers. No one is established by wicked acts, but the roots of the righteous can’t be disturbed. A strong woman has a crown to her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like rot in his bones. The plans of the righteous are just but the guidance of the wicked is deceptive. The words of the wicked are a deathtrap but the speech of those who do write rescues them. The wicked are destroyed and are no more But the family of the righteous will endure. A person is praised for his insight, but a warped mind leads to contempt. Steve Webb 5:10 Better to be held in low regard and have a servant than to be conceited and lack food. The righteous care about their livestock needs, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel. Those who work their land will have plenty to eat. But those who engage in empty pursuits have no sense. Desiring evil is a trap for the wicked, but the root of the righteous and doers. The wicked are trapped by the transgressions of their lips, but the righteous escaped from distress. From the fruit of their speech, people are well satisfied their work results in reward. Fools see their own way is right. But the wise listen to advice. Fools reveal their anger right away, but the shrewd hide their contempt. Those who state the truth speak justly, but a false witness deceives. Some chatter on like a stabbing sword, but a wise tongue heals. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who plan evil, but there is joy for those who advise peace. No harm happens to the righteous, but the wicked receive their fill of trouble. The Lord detests false lips. He favors those who do what is true. The shrewd conceal their knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims their stupidity. A hard worker is in charge, while a lazy one will be sentenced to hard labor. Anxiety leads to depression, but a good word encourages the righteous offer guidance to their neighbors, but the path of the wicked makes them wander. The lazy don’t roast their prey, but hard workers receive precious riches. The way of the righteous leads to life. But the detestable path leads to death.
