Herald Broadcasting Network presents BibleBanquet, a Devotional on the book of Proverbs

Let’s read Proverbs Chapter 17:

Here are some beautiful lessons we may draw from this reading:

1. The wise servant is more deserving, and more likely to appear one of the family, than a profligate son.



2. God tries the heart by affliction. He thus has often shown the sin remaining in the heart of the believer. Flatterers, especially false teachers, are welcome to those that live in sin.

3. Those that laugh at poverty, treat God's providence and precepts with contempt. It is an honour to children to have wise and godly parents continued to them, even after they are grown up and settled in the world.

4. A fool, in Solomon's Proverbs, signifies a wicked man, whom excellent speech does not become, because his conversation contradicts it. Those who set their hearts upon money, will do any thing for it. What influence should the gifts of God have on our hearts!

5. The way to preserve peace is to make the best of every thing; not to notice what has been said or done against ourselves. A gentle reproof will enter, not only into the head, but into the heart of a wise man.

6. Satan, and the messengers of Satan, shall be let loose upon an evil man. Let us watch over our own passions, and avoid the company of furious men. To render evil for good is devilish. He that does so, brings a curse upon his family.

7. What danger there is in the beginning of strife! Resist its earliest display; and leave it off, if it were possible, before you begin. It is an offence to God to acquit the guilty, or to condemn those who are not guilty.

8. Man's neglect of God's favour and his own interest is very absurd. No change of outward circumstances should abate our affection for our friends or relatives. But no friend, except Christ, deserves unlimited confidence. In Him this text did receive, and still receives its most glorious fulfillment.

9. Let not any wrong their families. Yet Christ's becoming Surety for men, was a glorious display of Divine wisdom; for he was able to discharge the bond. If we would keep a clear conscience and a quiet mind, we must shun all excitements to anger. And a man who affects a style of living above his means, goes the way to ruin.

10. There is nothing got by ill designs. And many have paid dear for an unbridled tongue. This speaks very plainly what many wise and good men feel very strongly, how grievous it is to have a foolish, wicked child.

11. It is great mercy that God gives us leave to be cheerful, and cause to be cheerful, if by his grace he gives us hearts to be cheerful.

12. The wicked are ready to part with their money, though loved, that they may not suffer for their crimes. The prudent man keeps the word of God continually in view. But the foolish man cannot fix his thoughts, nor pursue any purpose with steadiness.

13. Wicked children despise the authority of their father, and the tenderness of their mother. It is very wrong to find fault for doing what is duty.

14. A man may show himself to be a wise man, by the good temper of his mind, and by the good government of his tongue. He is careful when he does speak, to speak to the purpose. God knows his heart, and the folly that is bound there; therefore, He cannot be deceived in His judgment as men may be.

Herald Broadcasting Network presents BibleBanquet, a Devotional on the book of Proverbs
Let’s read Proverbs Chapter 15:
Here are some beautiful lessons we may draw from this reading:

1.A right cause will be better pleaded with meekness than with passion. Nothing stirs up anger like grievous words. He that has knowledge, is to use it aright, for the good of others.
2.Secret sins, services, and sorrows, are under God's eye. This speaks comfort to saints, and terror to sinners. A good tongue is healing to wounded consciences, by comforting them; to sin-sick souls, by convincing them; and it reconciles parties at variance.
3.If instruction is despised, reprove men rather than suffer them to go on undisturbed in the way to ruin. He that hates reproof shall perish in his sins, since he would not be parted from them.
4.The wealth of worldly men increases their fears and suspicions, adds strength to their passions, and renders the fear of death more distressing.
5.We use knowledge aright when we disperse it; but the heart of the foolish has nothing to disperse that is good. The wicked put other things in the stead of Christ's atonement, or in the place of holy obedience. Praying graces are his gift, and the work of his Spirit, with which He is well pleased. There is nothing that can be hid from the eyes of God, not even man's thoughts.
6.A scorner cannot bear to reflect seriously within his own heart. A gloomy, impatient, unthankful spirit, springing from pride and undue attachment to worldly objects, renders a man uneasy to himself and others.
7.A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself.
8.Some are much in affliction, and of a sorrowful spirit. Such are to be pitied, prayed for, and comforted. And others serve God with gladness of heart, and it prompts their obedience, yet they should rejoice with trembling.
9.Believers often have enough when worldly eyes see little; the Lord is with them, without the cares, troubles, and temptations which are with the wealth of the wicked.
10.He that is slow to anger, not only prevents strife, but appeases it, if kindled. Those who have no heart to their work, pretend that they cannot do their work without hardship and danger. And thus many live always in doubt about their state, because always in neglect of some duty.
11.Those who treat an aged mother or a father with contempt or neglect, show their own folly. Such as are truly wise, study that their thoughts, words, and actions should be regular, sincere, and holy. If men will not take time and pains to deliberate, they are not likely to bring any thing to pass. Wisdom is needed to suit our discourse to the occasions.
12.A good man sets his affections on things above; his way leads directly thither. Pride is the ruin of multitudes. But those who are in affliction God will support. The thoughts of wicked men offend Him who knows the heart.
13.The covetous man lets none of his family have rest or enjoyment. And greediness of gain often tempts to projects that bring ruin. A good man is proved to be a wise man by this; he governs his tongue well. God sets Himself at a distance from those who set Him at defiance.
14.How delightful to the humbled soul to hear the good report of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ! Faithful, friendly reproofs help spiritual life, and lead to eternal life. Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body.
15.The fear of the Lord will dispose us to search the Scriptures with reverence; and it will cause us to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. While we humbly place all our dependence on the grace of God, we are exalted in the righteousness of Christ. Hallelujag! Amen.

Herald Broadcasting Network presents BibleBanquet, a daily devotional on the book of 1 Chronicles
Let’s read 1 Chronicles chapter 5:
Of all we have read, this is the sum: Genealogies of the two tribes and a half
Here are some beautiful lessons we may draw from this reading:
1. Sin is indeed a reproach to any people: the relegation of the tribe of Reuben ought to serve a warning to fathers. This chapter further gives some account of the two tribes and a half seated on the east side of Jordan. Observe that they were made captives by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord.
2. Only two things are here recorded concerning those tribes. First: They all shared in a victory because they dwelt in unity. Lesson: Happy is that people who live in harmony together, who assist each other against the common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord, and calling upon Him.
3. Second: They shared in Assyrian captivity. Since they would have the best land, not considering that it lay most exposed, their desire for earthly objects drew them away from God's ordinances, and thus prepared them for destruction. Caution!
Prayer: May divine mercy avert every judgment we deserve due to our ancestral sins. And may divine grace usher in those favors we do not deserve. May the Holy Spirit empower us to unite both in true worship and obedience unto God, in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.
