  Hello friends. Hello Avon and hello friends.

  Great to have your company, both of you.
• 0:17
  Thanks so much. Here we are.
• 0:20
  What what are we the? Is it the 18th of December?
• 0:23
  Oh wow. No, it's the 19th of December.
• 0:26
  I'm not even keeping up. Yes, it's Friday.
• 0:28
  It's the 19th of December. That means this time next week,
• 0:32
  oh, we'll be we'll be sleeping and Christmas done, but we are
• 0:37
  not there yet. We have got well, Yvonne sitting
• 0:41
  beside me and Friday on the calendar, which means.
• 0:44
  It's Proverbs Day. Parade and we are continuing in
• 0:49
  chapter 19 reading through the proverbs and this is going to be
• 0:53
  our journey well through most of next year as well.
• 0:56
  And I think that's when we'll reach the end of all these
• 0:58
  proverbs. Am I right?
• 0:59
  Is it another year after that? Oh wow, so much wisdom.
• 1:04
  So much wisdom. Well, all we need to do is read
• 1:07
  it. It's been prepared and passed
• 1:09
  down for generations. So how about let's do that,
• 1:11
  shall we? It's a plan.
• 1:13
  All right, let us read together Proverbs 1913 to 18.
• 1:27
  A foolish child is a calamity to a father.
• 1:31
  A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping.
• 1:36
  Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and
• 1:40
  wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.
• 1:46
  Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.
• 1:53
  Keep the commandments and keep your life.
• 1:56
  Despising them leads to death. If you help the poor, you are
• 2:03
  lending to the Lord and He will repay you.
• 2:08
  Discipline your children while there is hope, otherwise you
• 2:11
  will ruin their lives. And again.
• 2:18
  A foolish child is a calamity to a father.
• 2:22
  A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping.
• 2:29
  Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and
• 2:33
  wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.
• 2:39
  Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.
• 2:46
  Keep the commandments and keep your life.
• 2:50
  Despising them leads to death. If you help the poor, you are
• 2:55
  lending to the Lord and He will repay you.
• 3:02
  Discipline your children while there is hope, otherwise you
• 3:05
  will ruin their lives. Boy, there is all this
• 3:19
  encouragement in here to do these hard things that deep down
• 3:22
  we know are the right thing, but not the easy thing, right?
• 3:26
  Like lending to people who who are struggling or disciplining
• 3:30
  when we need to. Yes.
• 3:33
  And I think just that there's consequences if we don't make
• 3:37
  some of those good choices like lazy people.
• 3:39
  Sure, you'll get to rest and sleep soundly, but because you
• 3:43
  haven't done any work, you're going to be hungry.
• 3:45
  There's consequences for that. Yeah, you bet.
• 3:50
  Oh, Holy Spirit, thank you for your wisdom.
• 3:53
  Thank you for good wives. I think it's fair to say.
• 3:57
  And thank you that you give us such clear commands to follow
• 4:02
  your ways, to be kind to those who are struggling to to do the
• 4:09
  hard work of caring for our children or whatever situation
• 4:12
  we find ourselves in, Lord, and doing the hard things that we
• 4:16
  know are right. And that that is what builds
• 4:19
  your Kingdom and that is what builds good outcomes for us here
• 4:23
  and now. So, Lord, I pray that you give
• 4:26
  us your wisdom, give us your heart, give us your motivation,
• 4:31
  and draw us ever closer to you and your ways so that our lives
• 4:35
  can really reflect you and the hard work that you do for us.
• 4:40
  And we thank you for the hardest work that you've done in giving
• 4:43
  up your son so that you can draw us permanently back into your
• 4:47
  presence and your embrace. Here we are, and we love you,
• 4:51
  and we thank you. And we pray all of this in his
• 4:54
  name, Amen. Amen.
