1) Proverbs 30 - 31
Proverbs 30
The Sayings of Agur
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle.
The man declares to Ithiel,
to Ithiel and Ukal:
2 (Ps 73:22) Surely I am more brutish than any man,
and have not the understanding of a man.
3 (Pr 9:10) I neither learned wisdom,
nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 (Jn 3:13; Job 26:8; Ps 2:7) Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is the name of His son,
if you know?
5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 (Dt 4:2; 12:32 ) Do not add to His words,
lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I have required of you;
do not deny me them before I die:
8 (Mt 6:11; Lk 11:3) Remove vanity and lies far from me-
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me;
9 (Ex 20:7; Dt 31:20) lest I be full, and deny You,
and say, "Who is the Lord?"
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Do not accuse a servant to his master,
lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 (Pr 20:20; 30:17 ) There is a generation that curses their father,
and does not bless its mother.
12 (Lk 18:11; Pr 16:2) There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 (Pr 6:17; Ps 101:5) There is a generation-oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
14 (Job 29:17; Ps 14:4) There is a generation whose teeth are as swords,
and their jaw teeth as knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
15 (Pr 6:16; 30:21) The leech has two daughters,
crying, "Give, give."
There are three things that are never satisfied,
indeed, four things never say, "It is enough":
16 (Pr 27:20; Hab 2:5) the grave, the barren womb,
the earth that is not filled with water,
and the fire that never says, "It is enough."
17 (Pr 23:22; Dt 21:18-21) The eye that mocks at his father,
and despises to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley will pick it out,
and the young eagles will eat it.
18 (Job 42:3) There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
indeed, four which I do not know:
19 the way of an eagle in the air,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman;
she eats and wipes her mouth,
and says, "I have done no wickedness."
21 For three things the earth is disquieted,
and for four which it cannot bear:
22 (Pr 19:10; Ecc 10:7) for a servant when he reigns,
and a fool when he is filled with food,
23 for a hateful woman when she is married,
and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise:
25 (Pr 6:6-8) The ants are a people not strong,
yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 (Ps 104:18; Lev 11:5) the badgers are but a feeble folk,
yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 (Joel 2:25) the locusts have no king,
yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 the spider takes hold with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which go well,
indeed, four are comely in going:
30 Jdg 14:18 a lion which is strongest among beasts,
and does not turn away for any;
31 a strutting rooster, a male goat also,
and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 (Job 21:5; 40:4) If you have been foolish in lifting up yourself,
or if you have thought evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
33 (Pr 29:22) Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter,
and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood,
so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
[1] The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake
unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
[2] Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the
understanding of a man.
[3] I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
[4] Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the
wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath
established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his
son's name, if thou canst tell?
[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their
trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a
liar.
[7] Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
[8] Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me:
[9] Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be
poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
[10] Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be
found guilty.
[11] There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless
their mother.
[12] There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not
washed from their filthiness.
[13] There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids
are lifted up.
[14] There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth
as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among
men.
[15] The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three
things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
[16] The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
[17] The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
[18] There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not:
[19] The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the
way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
[20] Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
[21] For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot
bear:
[22] For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
[23] For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir
to her mistress.
[24] There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are
exceeding wise:
[25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the
summer;
[26] The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the
rocks;
[27] The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
[28] The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
[29] There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
[30] A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
[31] A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no
rising up.
[32] If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast
thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
[33] Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of
the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth
strife.
Proverbs 31
The Sayings of King Lemuel's Mother
1 The words of King Lemuel, an oracle that his mother taught him:
2 (Isa 49:15; 1Sa 1:11) What, my son? And what, the son of my womb?
And what, the son of my vows?
3 (Dt 17:17; Ne 13:26) Do not give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 (Ecc 10:17; Pr 20:1) It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
nor for princes strong drink;
5 lest they drink and forget the law,
and pervert the justice of any of the afflicted.
6 (1Ti 5:23) Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish,
and wine to those who are of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
8 (Ps 82:3-4) Open your mouth for the speechless
in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 (Lev 19:15; Dt 1:16) Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Epilogue: The Virtuous Wife
10 (Ru 3:11; Pr 12:4) Who can find a virtuous woman?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts in her,
so that he will have no lack of gain.
12 She will do him good and not evil
all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,

and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many daughters have done virtuously,
but you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her own works praise her in the gates.
[1] The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
[2] What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
[3] Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth
kings.
[4] It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor
for princes strong drink:

the afflicted.
[6] Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those
that be of heavy hearts.

hands to the needy.

are clothed with scarlet.

purple.
[23] Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of
the land.
[24] She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the
merchant.

come.

kindness.

LORD, she shall be praised.
[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in
the gates.
2) Our Daily Bread for 1 July 2022
https://odb.org/CA/2022/07/01/celestial-communion
Entitled Celestial Communion
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Lord's Supper
Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20
23 (1Co 15:3; Mt 26:26-28; Mk 14:22-24) I have received of the Lord that
which I delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which
He was betrayed, took bread.
24 When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take and eat.
This is My body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19.)
25 (Lk 22:20; 2Co 3:6) In the same manner He took the cup after He had
supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:27-28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20.)
26 (Jn 21:22; 1Co 4:5) As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
[23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is
my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.
When Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module landed on the moon's Sea of Tranquility
on July 20, 1969, the space travelers took time to recover from their flight
before stepping onto the moon's surface. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin had received
permission to bring bread and wine so he could take Communion. After reading
Scripture, he tasted the first foods ever consumed on the moon. Later,
he wrote: "I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me.
In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully
up the side of the cup." As Aldrin enjoyed this celestial Communion, his
actions proclaimed his belief in Christ's sacrifice on the cross
and the guarantee of His second coming.
The apostle Paul encourages us to remember how Jesus sat with His disciples
"on the night he was betrayed" (1 Corinthians 11:23). Christ compared His
soon-to-be sacrificed body to the bread (v. 24). He declared the wine as a
symbol of "the new covenant" that secured our forgiveness and salvation
through His blood shed on the cross (v. 25). Whenever and wherever
we take Communion, we're proclaiming our trust in the reality of Jesus'
sacrifice and our hope in His promised second coming (v. 26).
No matter where we are, we can celebrate our faith in the one and only
risen and returning Savior-Jesus Christ-with confidence.
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
What has kept you from prayerfully taking Communion in remembrance
of Christ? How does it make you feel to know that a fellow believer
took Communion to honor Jesus on the moon?
Jesus, please help me live boldly for You until You come again!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 6 - Shielded by the Word
Proverbs 30:5
5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
5 Every word of God is pure:
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
A wife of ten years, betrayed by her husband's infidelity, declares that
she will never trust a man again. A teenage son says of his father, "I
can't depend on him anymore! Dad always talk big and makes promises,
but he never does what he says." A career woman, her reputation
undermined by gossip, leaves the church broken, and never returns.
Human beings are weak, volatile, unfaithful creatures; often we
break our word and hurt others in the process. But the Scripture
clearly assures us that God's Word is not like the word of man.
God always remains faithful to his Word, always fulfills his promises,
always does what he says he will do.
God's word is pure (or flawless), Proverbs 30:5 says. His Word
is not distorted with mixed motives or flawed by untruth. God's Word
is dependable, able to support and lift us up, able to speak
encouragement to us. His Word is a "shield" a protection for us
against the onslaughts of the Enemy, a place of refuge from the struggle
and confusion of daily life.
We live in a world that recognises no absolute truth. Morality,
values, relationships, ethics - every decision of life, it seems,
"depends on the situation." But in the midst of the confusion,
God interjects his Word - timeless, pure, trustworthy, reliable.
We can depend upon God's Word. We can turn to him to verify who we are
and the purposes for which we were created. We can find refuge in his truth,
and rest in the knowledge that whatever he says, he will do.
Application
a) In my own experience, how have I found God's Word
to be different from the word of men and women?
b) In what areas of my life do I need the assurance of the validity
and dependability of God's Word?
4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland
Joshua 1:8
8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.
Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all
that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,
and you will be wise.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are discouraged or Depressed
Matthew 11: 25-30
25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things
from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.
26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.
27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me
by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.
And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom
the Son will reveal Him.
28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily
burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.
For I am meek and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).
30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."
because He has dealt bountifully with me.
The Hidden Revelation
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National
Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial
BC - 136493 - 7.5%
AB - 195240 - 11%
SK - 17279 - 1%

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1) Proverbs 30 - 31
Proverbs 30
The Sayings of Agur
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle.
The man declares to Ithiel,
to Ithiel and Ukal:
2 (Ps 73:22) Surely I am more brutish than any man,
and have not the understanding of a man.
3 (Pr 9:10) I neither learned wisdom,
nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 (Jn 3:13; Job 26:8; Ps 2:7) Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is the name of His son,
if you know?
5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 (Dt 4:2; 12:32 ) Do not add to His words,
lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I have required of you;
do not deny me them before I die:
8 (Mt 6:11; Lk 11:3) Remove vanity and lies far from me-
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me;
9 (Ex 20:7; Dt 31:20) lest I be full, and deny You,
and say, "Who is the Lord?"
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Do not accuse a servant to his master,
lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 (Pr 20:20; 30:17 ) There is a generation that curses their father,
and does not bless its mother.
12 (Lk 18:11; Pr 16:2) There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 (Pr 6:17; Ps 101:5) There is a generation-oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
14 (Job 29:17; Ps 14:4) There is a generation whose teeth are as swords,
and their jaw teeth as knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
15 (Pr 6:16; 30:21) The leech has two daughters,
crying, "Give, give."
There are three things that are never satisfied,
indeed, four things never say, "It is enough":
16 (Pr 27:20; Hab 2:5) the grave, the barren womb,
the earth that is not filled with water,
and the fire that never says, "It is enough."
17 (Pr 23:22; Dt 21:18-21) The eye that mocks at his father,
and despises to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley will pick it out,
and the young eagles will eat it.
18 (Job 42:3) There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
indeed, four which I do not know:
19 the way of an eagle in the air,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman;
she eats and wipes her mouth,
and says, "I have done no wickedness."
21 For three things the earth is disquieted,
and for four which it cannot bear:
22 (Pr 19:10; Ecc 10:7) for a servant when he reigns,
and a fool when he is filled with food,
23 for a hateful woman when she is married,
and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise:
25 (Pr 6:6-8) The ants are a people not strong,
yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 (Ps 104:18; Lev 11:5) the badgers are but a feeble folk,
yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 (Joel 2:25) the locusts have no king,
yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 the spider takes hold with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which go well,
indeed, four are comely in going:
30 Jdg 14:18 a lion which is strongest among beasts,
and does not turn away for any;
31 a strutting rooster, a male goat also,
and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 (Job 21:5; 40:4) If you have been foolish in lifting up yourself,
or if you have thought evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
33 (Pr 29:22) Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter,
and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood,
so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
[1] The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake
unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
[2] Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the
understanding of a man.
[3] I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
[4] Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the
wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath
established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his
son's name, if thou canst tell?
[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their
trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a
liar.
[7] Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
[8] Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me:
[9] Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be
poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
[10] Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be
found guilty.
[11] There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless
their mother.
[12] There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not
washed from their filthiness.
[13] There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids
are lifted up.
[14] There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth
as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among
men.
[15] The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three
things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
[16] The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
[17] The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
[18] There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not:
[19] The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the
way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
[20] Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
[21] For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot
bear:
[22] For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
[23] For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir
to her mistress.
[24] There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are
exceeding wise:
[25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the
summer;
[26] The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the
rocks;
[27] The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
[28] The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
[29] There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
[30] A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
[31] A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no
rising up.
[32] If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast
thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
[33] Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of
the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth
strife.
Proverbs 31
The Sayings of King Lemuel's Mother
1 The words of King Lemuel, an oracle that his mother taught him:
2 (Isa 49:15; 1Sa 1:11) What, my son? And what, the son of my womb?
And what, the son of my vows?
3 (Dt 17:17; Ne 13:26) Do not give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 (Ecc 10:17; Pr 20:1) It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
nor for princes strong drink;
5 lest they drink and forget the law,
and pervert the justice of any of the afflicted.
6 (1Ti 5:23) Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish,
and wine to those who are of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
8 (Ps 82:3-4) Open your mouth for the speechless
in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 (Lev 19:15; Dt 1:16) Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Epilogue: The Virtuous Wife
10 (Ru 3:11; Pr 12:4) Who can find a virtuous woman?

all the days of her life.

but you excel them all."

and let her own works praise her in the gates.
[1] The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

[3] Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth

hands to the needy.

purple.

the land.

merchant.

come.

kindness.

the gates.
2) Our Daily Bread for 1 July 2022
https://odb.org/CA/2022/07/01/celestial-communion
Entitled Celestial Communion
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Lord's Supper
Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20
23 (1Co 15:3; Mt 26:26-28; Mk 14:22-24) I have received of the Lord that
which I delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which
He was betrayed, took bread.
24 When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take and eat.
This is My body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19.)
25 (Lk 22:20; 2Co 3:6) In the same manner He took the cup after He had
supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:27-28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20.)
26 (Jn 21:22; 1Co 4:5) As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
[23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is
my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.
When Apollo 11's Eagle lunar module landed on the moon's Sea of Tranquility
on July 20, 1969, the space travelers took time to recover from their flight
before stepping onto the moon's surface. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin had received
permission to bring bread and wine so he could take Communion. After reading
Scripture, he tasted the first foods ever consumed on the moon. Later,
he wrote: "I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me.
In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully
up the side of the cup." As Aldrin enjoyed this celestial Communion, his
actions proclaimed his belief in Christ's sacrifice on the cross
and the guarantee of His second coming.
The apostle Paul encourages us to remember how Jesus sat with His disciples
"on the night he was betrayed" (1 Corinthians 11:23). Christ compared His
soon-to-be sacrificed body to the bread (v. 24). He declared the wine as a
symbol of "the new covenant" that secured our forgiveness and salvation
through His blood shed on the cross (v. 25). Whenever and wherever
we take Communion, we're proclaiming our trust in the reality of Jesus'
sacrifice and our hope in His promised second coming (v. 26).
No matter where we are, we can celebrate our faith in the one and only
risen and returning Savior-Jesus Christ-with confidence.
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
What has kept you from prayerfully taking Communion in remembrance
of Christ? How does it make you feel to know that a fellow believer
took Communion to honor Jesus on the moon?
Jesus, please help me live boldly for You until You come again!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 6 - Shielded by the Word
Proverbs 30:5
5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
5 Every word of God is pure:
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
A wife of ten years, betrayed by her husband's infidelity, declares that
she will never trust a man again. A teenage son says of his father, "I
can't depend on him anymore! Dad always talk big and makes promises,
but he never does what he says." A career woman, her reputation
undermined by gossip, leaves the church broken, and never returns.
Human beings are weak, volatile, unfaithful creatures; often we
break our word and hurt others in the process. But the Scripture
clearly assures us that God's Word is not like the word of man.
God always remains faithful to his Word, always fulfills his promises,
always does what he says he will do.
God's word is pure (or flawless), Proverbs 30:5 says. His Word
is not distorted with mixed motives or flawed by untruth. God's Word
is dependable, able to support and lift us up, able to speak
encouragement to us. His Word is a "shield" a protection for us
against the onslaughts of the Enemy, a place of refuge from the struggle
and confusion of daily life.
We live in a world that recognises no absolute truth. Morality,
values, relationships, ethics - every decision of life, it seems,
"depends on the situation." But in the midst of the confusion,
God interjects his Word - timeless, pure, trustworthy, reliable.
We can depend upon God's Word. We can turn to him to verify who we are
and the purposes for which we were created. We can find refuge in his truth,
and rest in the knowledge that whatever he says, he will do.
Application
a) In my own experience, how have I found God's Word
to be different from the word of men and women?
b) In what areas of my life do I need the assurance of the validity
and dependability of God's Word?
4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland
Joshua 1:8
8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.
Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all
that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,
and you will be wise.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are discouraged or Depressed
Matthew 11: 25-30
25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things
from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.
26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.
27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me
by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.
And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom
the Son will reveal Him.
28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily
burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.
For I am meek and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).
30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."
because He has dealt bountifully with me.
The Hidden Revelation
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
ROMANS 15:13
