(Day 30 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -

The ant is diligent and has initiative - it knows that it has to work consistently to prepare for the future.
It doesn’t procrastinate or wait until the last minute to prepare its provisions.
That’s the practical life wisdom we can learn from the ant.
“Go to the ant, O lazy one; Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Overseer or ruler, She prepares her food in the summer And brings in her provisions [of food for the winter] in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]?” (PROVERBS 6:6-9 AMP)
These 7 traits best describe the devil. The first sinful trait described is linked to the sin of pride.
That’s the sin that caused Lucifer’s fall to become the devil today.
“These six things the LORD hates; Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him: A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that creates wicked plans, Feet that run swiftly to evil, A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths], And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.” (PROVERBS 6:16-19 AMP)
We are to listen to the godly teachings of our parents, but not if they are worldly teachings.
“My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction) And do not reject the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts), And tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they (the godly teachings of your parents) will guide you; When you sleep, they will keep watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.” (PROVERBS 6:20-22 AMP)
When the devil (the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy) robs you of something good in your life, he has to repay 7 times the value of what was stolen from you.
God will restore you 7 times as much for your losses - believe God for that and be excited to receive it!
“People do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry; But when he is found, he must repay seven times [what he stole]; He must give all the property of his house [if necessary to meet his fine].” (PROVERBS 6:30-31 AMP)
