1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
We pray that God’s name would be hallowed. The book of proverbs began with: Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. We are told that the name of the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of the wicked will rot. We are told that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. We are also told that the name of a proud and arrogant person is “mocker”. Esther 10:3 Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews. Because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews. Daniel 9:23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision: That’s right, Daniel was highly esteemed by God, therefore as soon as he prayed an answer came.
2 Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. 3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
Do not confuse prudence with cowardice, or unfaithfulness. Noah was prudent, he saw the danger and he took refuge. That meant be began working on a boat based on God’s design. Taking refuge is active.
4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.
We are told that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, now we are told that humility is the fear of the Lord. Those who claim to be wise are often arrogant, proud, mockers. Those who don’t claim to be wise are often walking in humility and the fear of the Lord.
5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
Let’s consider these snares and pitfalls. The democrats have voted to impeach Trump for a second time, and if successful they will remove him from office. The problem is that he has already been removed from office. There is no constitutional standing to impeach a citizen but they did it anyway. But think about the pitfalls and snares in this approach. First, if you can impeach citizens you can impeach Obama for the FISA warrant scandal. Second if you can impeach an elected official for using the word “fight” in a speech then you can impeach virtually every elected official there is. Third if you can impeach a person for inciting violence because they said “we are going to walk down to the Capitol and peacefully and patriotically make our voices heard” then you can impeach Pelosi, Waters, Biden, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer for things they have said which were very clear incitement to violence. But fourth, and the biggest mistake they have made is that impeaching Trump for putting forth the falsehood of election fraud. This claim indicates that the election is not over and they have given a platform for Trump to support this claim.
6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
It is essential that the Bible become an integral part of elementary school education. Either Sunday school at church or home school. There is a reason that the enemy has attacked the Bible in school and is trying to control the public school education and pull kids into their education sooner and sooner.
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Too many don’t understand this. Many government policies are designed to make the government the lender. For example the democrats have recently put forth legislation concerning elections. They can’t order the states to adopt it but they are saying that if you do they’ll give you money. So by lending money to the states the federal government is able to rule over them. They did the same thing with No Child Left Behind.
8 Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.
We are seeing injustice being sown right now. Facebook and Twitter are censoring people for saying things they don’t agree with. That would be fine if they were a publisher but they have told the government they are a platform, not a publisher and have therefore received exemptions from liability. Since they are exempt from liability how will they reap calamity? Well first, they have suspended, banned and shadow banned tens of thousands of accounts. This reduces the activity, a key metric by which their stock is valued. Second, tens of thousands, maybe even millions of people have left the platform. This is not a guess. Dan Bongino recently moved his channel to Rumble and in a month's time had 1.3 million subscribers. Trump with over 100 million subscribers is also moving from Twitter. Subscribers, viewers and posts are key metrics by which these platforms are valued by both advertisers and stockholders. You might think that these conservative voices and channels only represent 30% of Twitter, but you would be wrong, very wrong. Many of the posts and tweets are people who disagree with these ones trolling them and attacking them. If they move the posts to other platforms will they go too? But that is not all. States are now considering legislation concerning censorship and shadow banning of conservative voices. Twitter, Facebook and Google have responded that they would not be able to do business in those states with that legislation. If 23 states pass this legislation you will see a tremendous drop in users of these platforms. It will open the door for competitors. Also, the value of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube is that everyone can see what you are posting. If they are prohibited in 23 states why would anyone use them? So even if it is not prohibited in your state you would use the competitors and might stop using them altogether. Likewise foreign countries (Australia, Uganda, Poland, Germany, France and Mexico) have also proposed legislation, expressed their disapproval or already taken action against this.
9 The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
Mike Lindell was attacked by the Daily Mail and banned from these platforms because he is generous and supports the causes of free speech and investigating election fraud allegations. As a result as much as they try to cancel him people are responding by supporting him.
10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.
People voted out Trump for this reason, but guess what the strife, quarrels and insults have not ended. Clearly the real mocker has not been driven out yet.
We pray that God’s name would be hallowed. The book of proverbs began with: Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
