August 26, 2011 - Proverbs 20

S - ⁴ The lazy man will not plow because of winter;
He will beg during harvest and have nothing.
⁷ The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him.
O - David says here that the lazy man will have nothing but that the children of the righteous father will be blessed because him.
A - These two scriptures go hand and glove. If I am a man that neglects to do what I need to do to support my family, I and they will have nothing and beg for our needs. But it goes even further than this. I have not only been placed here to support my family but also to show them what it means to be righteous and to do what I have called to do. When I go to that level, not only will our needs be met but my children will be blessed because of it. I want to bless my children and future generations abundantly!
P - Lord, I come to you asking for help in these times to not only give me a desire and will to provide for my family but the ability and strength to be righteous and complete what you have call me to do. I pray for finances and for peace. Take away any of the anxieties that I have with our future and how we can provide for our family. I give you my body and spirit to do with me as you would please to further your kingdom.
