“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense? Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭ 6‬, ‭9‬, ‭16‬, ‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God #truth #wisdom

“All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his work. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.” ‭ Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬-‭3‬, ‭7‬, ‭11‬, ‭19‬, ‭24‬-‭25‬, ‭33‬ ‭ESV‬‬ This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. #truth #wisdom

“Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭ 4‬, ‭12‬, ‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭ ESV‬‬

So this is going to be extremely satisfying to watch RFK do some special things inside HHS. I just realized Fauci will report to him.

“One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth, but a poor man hears no threat. Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭ 7‬-‭8‬, ‭11‬, ‭24‬ ‭ ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom

I love how my nostr followers are decreasing in numbers. Could it be the content that I post? Soli Deo Gloria

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust. Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die. Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered. Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭6‬, ‭12‬-‭13‬, ‭19‬, ‭21‬-22 ‭ESV‬‬ #truth #wisdom

If it’s found that the US actually has less debt than is reported that would be very helpful. It’s being reported that on the way to the Super Bowl, Trump said something along the lines that DOGE may have found irregularities in the US Treasury market, which Trump said “maybe we have less debt than we thought.” He’s also reported to have stated, “There could be a problem, you’ve been reading about that, with Treasuries. That could be an interesting problem because it could be that a lot of those things don’t count.” Business owners know that nothing can continue operating if you don’t know where the money goes, or how much is owed. This is like what Elon said, pick a target and shoot in any direction, everything you hit needs to be gone through.

“The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth. When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is established forever.” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭2‬, ‭4‬-‭5‬, ‭9‬, ‭19‬-‭20‬, ‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing. She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town, calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, ‘Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!’ And to him who lacks sense she says, ‘Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.’ But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭ 7‬-‭10‬ , 13-18 ESV‬‬

Kinda wondering if Ron Paul is going to help lead the audit at the federal reserve. This would be the best news since bitcoin became a real thing. @ODELL @asknostr

“To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right, for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. ‭‭ The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. ‘And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.’” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭ 4-7,13-14, 32‬-‭36‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #wisdom #truth

“My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’ and call insight your intimate friend, to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words. ‭‭ With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭7‬:‭ 1-5, 21‬-‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #wisdom #truth

My favorite tea tea 🫖 for the winter respiratory crud: 1 cup fresh turmeric root 1 cup fresh ginger root Enough water to blend into a paste Take the paste and put in a tea strainer. Pour hot water through into your favorite tea cup. Add local honey to flavor. Prepare to feel some heat going down. 😛Store extra in an airtight jar for next time. I served some cold to my little girl and she loved it. Next time: green smoothie for kids who won’t eat anything green

“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭6‬:‭ 6-9, 27‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #wisdom #truth

“My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless… Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭1-4, 8-9, 15, 21‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

One thing that indicates a lot about a society as a whole is HOW its people live out their faith. Bear with me because I’m going to talk about children and people with special needs. There is a possibility that an mRNA vaccine will “help prevent” children that have special needs. Do not stay asleep on this possibility. This is absolutely controversial and could easily divide cultures and subcultures. I pray we do not go down this path. When my wife and I had a child with special needs there was an effort made to get us to change course, to exercise the “options” related to continuing the pregnancy. The perinatal center, well, her conversation with us made me mad and 🤢. How parents cope, deal, handle and work through the situations God puts before them with their unborn children says a lot about a culture. It says a lot about their faith. All people believe in something, the question is what or who. So as you move through your day today, think about this: are you living out your faith? Are you prepared to answer for your actions? All of us need to be on our knees with respect to how we have sinned. There is not one human that is worthy, not even one (Romans 3:10-12). It’s only by his mercy and grace He he freely offers that anyone can come even close. Boldly live out your faith today. “The grass withers and the flower fades but the word of our God will stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8
