The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, “You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.” Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. 

He had warned Solomon specifically about worshiping other gods, but Solomon did not listen to the Lord’s command.

Every word of God proves true.He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.6Do not add to his words,or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart to hear your instruction and follow your way wholeheartedly. Give me discernment to know your desire and follow your truth above the lies of this world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.

Mockers can get a whole town agitated,but the wise will calm anger.

It is evil to make mindless offerings to God. 25:2 Verses 5:2-20 are numbered 5:1-19 in Hebrew text.Don’t make rash promises, and don’t be hasty in bringing matters before God.

Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.

Lord God my Father,

Direct me to your peace, display my poor thoughts and beliefs and take them from me, allow me to carry your peace only. Bring direction, the direction you designed for me to the surface so I may do your will in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To one who listens, valid criticismis like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.

If the godly give in to the wicked,it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.

Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools,or you will become as foolish as they are.

There is more hope for foolsthan for people who think they are wise.

A quarrelsome person starts fightsas easily as hot embers light charcoal or fire lights wood.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart and allow me to hear you, give me the wisdom I need to grow past my own ways and live wholeheartedly for you. May my hope come from you and not argue with your desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Sing to the Lord a new song.Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

For the Lord delights in his people;he crowns the humble with victory.

Lord God my Father,

You are joy and life, protect my spirit from attack and keep me in your glory so I may delight in you in all things that happen in my day. May all my thoughts praise you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from the desire Satan has to place darkness on my thoughts and keep me in your light so darkness has no place to stick.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.

“May your eyes be open to my requests and to the requests of your people Israel. May you hear and answer them whenever they cry out to you.

May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.

Lord God my Father,

You are the beginning and the end, You are,,,,,,,, Just serving you is enough purpose to live. Grant me a wholeness of heart to do your will above my desire. Give me a pure heart that only is filled with your desire, the desire you created for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“This must be a magnificent Temple because our God is greater than all other gods. 6But who can really build him a worthy home? Not even the highest heavens can contain him! So who am I to consider building a Temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices to him?

“It is because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king! 12Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, gifted with skill and understanding, who will build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.

Lord God my Father,

You are amazing beyond my ability to understand, Help me to not try to understand you but to simply follow you. I can never do anything to honor you properly but give me the desire to give you my all. Give me the ability to spread your glory to this dark world without sinking in it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Don’t waste your breath on fools,for they will despise the wisest advice.

O my son, give me your heart.May your eyes take delight in following my ways.

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,a little folding of the hands to rest—34then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me in your thoughts, protect me from poor decisions. Allow me to be your will in this world around me, keep me busy in your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;people who cherish understanding will prosper.

Discipline your children while there is hope.Otherwise you will ruin their lives.

You can make many plans,but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

The Lord directs our steps,so why try to understand everything along the way?

Lord God my Father,

I am a fool on my own, I need you to give me direction. Expose my way that separates me from you, make my plan and protect me from straying. It is in your plan I find peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

We can make our own plans,but the Lord gives the right answer.2People may be pure in their own eyes,but the Lord examines their motives.3Commit your actions to the Lord,and your plans will succeed.

Lord God my Father,

May my plans only honor you, show me where I have strayed and bring me completely under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
