The Book of Proverbs
Chapter 6
¹ My child, if you have given your pledge to your neighbor, if you have bound yourself to another, ² you are snared by the utterance of your lips, caught by the words of your mouth.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verse 1 to 2)
Oh God my Father when I gave my word to my wife in Your presence I became bound by such a pledge. Even though today I am legally separated by the rulers of the world before You I am still married. I cannot go back from the word that I gave Amen. Even though I live in a state of separation I still feel bound by my words Amen.
³ So do this, my child, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbors power; go, hurry, and plead with your neighbor.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verse 3)
Oh God, my Father I have apologised to my wife and my daughter, I have explained the reason compelling me to behave in the way I did, however, I have found no mercy on this earth from humans. Therefore I do not look for mercy from humans but only from You my God and Father Amen.
⁴ Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; ⁵ save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 4 to 5)
Oh, brothers and sisters, may it be that we are always found ready to answer to the call of God our Father. May we be always ready to obey even if this calls for obedience and going against our own will Amen.
⁶ Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways, and be wise. ⁷ Without having any chief or officer or ruler, ⁸ it prepares its food in summer, and gathers its sustenance in harvest.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 6 to 8)
Oh God if we were to look at Your creation we would learn big lessons of survival and not end up in the life crises that we are experiencing. Give us this knowledge and motivation to learn my God and Father Amen.
⁹ How long will you lie there, O lazybones? when will you rise from your sleep?
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verse 9)
Oh brothers and sisters how long can we remain in our bubble of alienation in a material world that constantly encourages to lead a life that is Godless, where the only rule or authority is ourselves. When are we going to wake up and realize that we are just a creation subject to the one and only God our Father Amen.
¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, ¹¹ and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want, like an armed warrior.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 10 to 11)
Oh brothers and sisters if we start becoming lax in our way of life slowly we will be overcome by a feeling of apathy and we will be demotivated to even raise up our hands in prayer and thanksgiving let alone in working for our daily bread as You wish us to Amen. Therefore let us be armed and ready against the enemy who tries to achieve a victory over us Amen.
¹² A scoundrel and a villain goes around with crooked speech, ¹³ winking the eyes, shuffling the feet pointing the fingers, ¹⁴ with perverted mind devising evil, continually sowing discord ¹⁵ on such a one calamity will descend suddenly; in a moment damage beyond repair.
(The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 12 to 15)
Oh God my Father when we decide to take control of our lives and eliminating You completely the evil one takes over and makes a complete mess out of that person's life. However, You always try to encourage us to turn back by giving us many signs and by permitting us to meet people chosen by You to help us get back on the road to holiness and salvation Amen.
