THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

DATE: Tuesday, October 15, 2019.

THEME: The Wise And The Poor.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”
Ecclesiastes 9:18.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Proverbs 28:6-7.
“Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered the poor and the righteous, we observe that the poor and the righteous will always have a place in God’s heart. Although, one can be poor and be righteous, or rich and still remain righteous. Meaning that there are poor righteous people and there are rich righteous people also.
Meanwhile, Ecclesiastes 9:14-16 tells us a story saying, *”There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.”* That is, to be wise is to be knowledgeable and full of experience in most human endeavors. As you can see from the story above, it was the poor wise man that delivered the city by defeating the great evil king. But it saddens the heart, that afterward no one remember him, a wise person don’t fight or shout over gift, reward or position, rather he or she prefers silence and always contented.
Conclusively, our memory verse emphasize that, _’Wisdom is better than the weapons of war and sin destroys much good.’_ And also our today’s text declares that, *”Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways…”* May you continue to walk in uprightness of heart now and always in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
The fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom.

PRAYER POINT:
Gracious Father, please fill me wisdom, knowledge and understanding. That I may be of great help to my community and the world at large in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
