Remember tomorrow is trunk or treat! It starts at 6:30 and it ends at 8: 30. You can dress up as well. Pastor Lee said his internet isn't working and when he fixes it, he will be on consistently.

Proverbs 30

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Verse 4 is obviously reffering to Jesus. Verses 11-14 is what goes on in school, and sin in school, like I said not too long ago, is like a virus, or wild fire, or whatever you want to call it. To me its discusting, absolutly discusting how sin and rebellion are in this world, and continue to grow. What is God trying to tell us people? Wake up Christians? Wake up wall street? Maybe nothing is trying to be said here, just fitting everything in to place so His kingdom can come. Whatever it may be, it will ALL work together for His glory. Amen!

i want to comment on one verse that spoke to my heart in this and that is verse 5.verse 5 says"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." what this says to me is that everything that the lord says is guaranteed to be true and he wasnt exactly a"potty mouth".and the second part is what got me wher it says,he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."that says that if you trust in the lord he isnt gonna let anything come between you and him.!!!!!! that is exciting isnt it?!? it is so upplifting to know that even if we have obsticles we are able to defeat them if weve got God on our side!!WOW!!!

well i am mega excited for tomorow and i hope you love your new house pastor lee!!

I think what this passage is mainly talking about is how we should not be ashamed of god no matter where we are or what were doing. a verse that caught my eye was 5. it is so cool. like God is pure and holy and loving and all we need to do is put him in our hearts and trust him and all our lives will fall into place!!!


Ill see all u peeps at trunk or treat!!
PEACE OUT

This passage spoke to me about trusting in God and realizing that every word in he speaks is pure and true. It reminded me that we need to be happy with what God gives us like verse 8 says whether we have poverty or riches, God will always provide for us.

I liked verse 4 and 5 the most in this passage. Verse 4 is talking about Jesus and verse 5 says that every word of God is pure meaning that its all righteous and clean without evil. It also says that He is a shield to those who TRUST Him! So if you didn't get the hint yet...TRUST GOD!!! He will help you get through life every second of everyday!! And if something doesnt go how you wanted it to go just remember everything happens for a reason! We should all be excited and happy that we are able to know He is with us all the time and hopefully we are able to know where we will go when we die! I know where I am going! Remember God has a plan for our life and can help us out everyday if we just simply trust in Him! Well I cant wait till tomorrow! TRUNK OR TREAT, we will have so much FUN!!!!!!! Hope to see y'all there!!! bye for now!!!

Hmm so verse 8 remind me of a bigggg issue i have.
Even though its not exactly all about this, it somehow just reminds me that i need to work on it;
I have a problem with always wishing to myself for the extreme of everything, saying i want to be unbelievablyy amazinggggggly beautiful, amazzzingly and incrediblyyyy smart, and fit in just absolutely PERFECTLY with everyone when really i shouldnt have that in the front of my mind all the time. I should completelyyyy fix my focus on the one who already IS the extreme of everything and beyond, and sometimes i lose that focus and it gets really hard.
Im not completely sure how to fix that quite yet :/ but im working on it.

Ew;
Verse 17 gives me some pretty graphic imagery right thurr.
It says to those to are disrespectful to their father/mother will have their eyes gorged out by ravens and be eaten from there by eagles.
EW. i dont want that to happen to me so maybe i should obey (:
