WORD DIARY: TUESDAY MAY 19, 2026

 

#Beware of greed!..

Prov. 23:1-3 When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.

#Beware of deception!

Prov. 23:4-5 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

#Beware of greed!

Prov. 23:6-8 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you,     but his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.

#Beware of invitations!

Prov. 23:9 Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace for productivity in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather be content?

2. Would you rather allow greed?
