PROVERBS 30
30 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance.
This man’s utterance to Ithiel:
“I am weary, God,
but I can prevail.
2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Whose hands have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is the name of his son?
Surely you know!
5 “Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
10 “Do not slander a servant to their master,
or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.
11 “There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers;
12 those who are pure in their own eyes
and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
13 those whose eyes are ever so haughty,
whose glances are so disdainful;
14 those whose teeth are swords
and whose jaws are set with knives
to devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among mankind.
15 “The leech has two daughters.
‘Give! Give!’ they cry.
“There are three things that are never satisfied,
four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
16 the grave, the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
17 “The eye that mocks a father,
that scorns an aged mother,
will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,
will be eaten by the vultures.
18 “There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
19 the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
20 “This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
21 “Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king,
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23 a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.
24 “Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25 Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;
26 hyraxes are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts have no king,
yet they advance together in ranks;
28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces.
29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.
32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”
PROVERBS 31
31 The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!
3 Do not spend your strengt on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Goal: Lead other men

DEVO
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”—Proverbs 31:25-30
Mom, there is no one quite like you. You are amazing in all your ways, and your calling in this chapter of the Proverbs is one that is beyond noble. While you may at moments during the year question your ability and see only your deficiencies—today I see you through the eyes of "strength and dignity;" it is after all your "clothing." Your perspective is beyond others "laughs" at the impossibilities of the future. "Wisdom" only comes from your mouth, and I hang on every word. You "teach kindly," and I never catch you sitting "idle." I, your child, love you. And today you surpass them all. Happy Mother's day. Be perfect today; you are in my eyes.
DO THIS: Tell your mother, you love her—precisely the way she is.
PRAYER: God, thank you for mothers. Today we adore your creation—women & mothers.
Share That You Completed The 35 Day Challenge!
Thank you so much for using your God given talent to put the 35 Day Challenge together and for sharing it. I continue to pray that I will not be a idle Christian man, husband, father, and friend. God Bless All!
Praying for the 20 men in a weekly Bible study that I can get them to accept the challenge
Thank you for helping me build a strong foundation and habits.
5“Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Praying the other men in my group have started this already.
Really enjoyed this 35 day challenge. I feel like I have a good habit in place and tools to continue to grow relationships with other brothers in Christ.
Thank you so much for the 35 Day Challenge! It has both taught me and reinforced habits that will change my life and turn it toward God.
Chapter 30 v 5
Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Thanks for the 35 day challenge! I liked how it made bit sized ‘assignments’ out of the video series.
I completed the challenge and I feel I have added some good habits that I hope to continue for the rest of my life.
(2/27/21) Proverbs 27:17 Amplified Bible
“As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].” This accountability project is making me sharper.
(2/28/21) Proverbs 28:2 The Passion Translation (TPT)
“A rebellious nation is thrown into chaos, but leaders anointed with wisdom will restore law and order.”
Footnotes: or “A rebellious nation will have one leader after another.”
At present America seems to be a “rebellious nation”, “a nation with moral rot” (NLT), “a country in moral chaos” (MSG). Is this why we’re having one-term presidents?
I like Proverbs 31: 10, “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” This proverb is so true. I can attest that my wife, Teresa, is worth far more than rubies. She is accurately described in the verses that follow verse 10. I praise her. She has done so much for our family and others. “Love does” is her motto. I thanks God immensely for her.
I like Proverbs 30:33, “For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.” The lesson for me is NOT to stir up anger in other drivers, because it could cause them to “produce strife” in terms of road rage. I often get frustrated by other drivers, especially when they pull out in front of me while I am going highways speed and have to slow way down to avoid hitting them. I often get frustrated and honk at them and glare at them. But I need to avoid that because they could react with road rage back to me and lead to violence. It is also upsetting to my passengers when I honk at other drivers. They can sense the tension coming from me.
(2/26//21) Proverbs 27:1 The Passion Translation
“Never brag about the plans you have for tomorrow, for you don’t have a clue what tomorrow may bring to you.”
This is a frequent weakness of mine. I often make plans for tomorrow, certain that I will have great results. …Surprise! The day takes a turn for the worst, and it becomes a complete flop. I need to be more flexible in times like these. I would would have fewer headaches.
Our family motto is “Be flexible, not frustrated.” That helps especially while traveling….
Thanks, Don! I’m always on a journey. I’ll try traveling with more joy.
Vince, I have been motivated throughout the 35 Day challenge, I started your teachings summer 2020 and have been trying to increase men in my area in other churches to engage in a men’s ministry. 2 Pastors have followed the teachings and also men in their seasons. In my large church in this area, a weekly email to over 45 men of which only 6 attended from the church, others are from sister churches, friends that were invited. We met weekly for 1 hour and followed 3 of your series teachings via zoom. I was hoping that our senior pastor would encourage more men to join, attend but as my beloved says, “if only one man is impacted it is in obedience to God to continue what you are doing”.
I plan on doing something, your brother in Christ, Mark
Mark, let me know how I can help. I would be happy to call your senior pastor. I have been a pastor and senior leader in a large church so I would know how to speak with him about these challenges and issues. Feel free to email me privately at [email protected]
It has been a pleasure and a joy to go through this the last 35 days. My desire is to continue this either on my own or in with others. Thank you Vince you are great, keep up the good work. 👏🙏
Louis, grab some guys and do it with them!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
“Don’t do nothing”.
That actually says a lot, right? So each of us can continue to meet, to continue to work on these in our lives and to look for opportunities to start and Lead other brothers through the same process.
Vince, thank you for leading all of us on this amazing 35 day journey! I have witnessed growth, not only in my spiritual disciplines, but in my relationship with the Father, with my family, and my brothers in Christ! I plan to incorporate the things you have taught us into the fellowship with my weekly men’s group. Please pray for all of us as we strive to lead our families and become the men that God has called us to be.
Terry, I am proud of you today! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 Be blessed and reach out anytime! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Let me know how to encourage you and your men’s group!
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Thanks to all who have come before and completed this challenge. May we all be better Christian men for it!
Thanks to Vince as well. I look forward to to the daily devos and furthering my faith through your mentoring program!
In Proverbs 30:8,9…these verses are speaking to me about not forgetting God and putting other things before hm. Now Solomon didn’t ask the LORD for riches but he asked him for Wisdom…because of that God blessed Solomon with both riches and honor. Verse 33 is letting me know it’s not good to escalate a situation when a person is angry about somethings this may increase and lead into an argument. Chapter 31 It isn’t good drinking alcohol and becoming drunk and having affairs with different women’s, Isn’t going to help me with my daily problems. Only God can give and help a man find a wife who respect …
him and is honorable and loveable and staying busy to do what is right and helping to support her husband and their family and household.
I COMPLETED THE 35 DAY CHALLENGE!
Vince, thanks for the challenge and encouragement. This has made a significant difference in my life. May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry!!
THANK YOU!
Proverbs 30:8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
All of Proverbs 31 has wisdom. Pray that at my age of 38 that I further listen and continue to learn.
ALL IN❕
Great series. Thank you
It’s been a great 35 days. I took steps that didn’t think I could. I’m looking forward to starting a men’s group in our church. I have the confidence know to reach out to other guys and start this process by just having coffee and asking questions. Thanks Vince for your ministry! Love you my brother in Christ!
Thanks to you Vince for your time and dedication. I also need thank my brother Mike S he ask me to do this and I said I’m all in.The lord saved me 2 years ago along with my wife.I am so blessed. I love my lord Jesus Christ and will honor him till he takes me up to his kingdom. What a glorious day that will be.Cant wait.
Thank you Vince for the opportunity to learn how to worship and build a relationship with other
Christian brothers. You have shown me that God is not done with me yet.
Finished ! Thanks jay for hosting
Thank you, Vince for putting together this challenge! I am thankful for the structure that you have suggested for a men’s group, and will be using this. God bless you and all the men that have participated in this challenge!
Verse 31:30
I cannot be more thankful than to see what God has done and is doing through my wife. I am so thankful to be united with her in marriage. What a great way and reminder verse for me to end this devotional series with.
I won’t do nothing… I’ll keep doing a Nu Thang!
I wasnt sure what to expect when I started this challenge but I have been receiving the daily devo from Vince for over a year now and it has been great so I knew this challenge was going to be great as well. One thing I that I never did before this challenge was pray out loud. Other than praying before meals or in church, it was never something I thought to do on my own. The first time in the challenge when it said to pray out loud it felt kinda weird but as I was praying out load I could feel the emotions of it take over me and had tears in my eyes. It was such a powerful experience. Thank you Vince for doing this challenge and for the daily devo.
to have a good friend, i need to be a good friend. i’m working on this. thanks for the encouragement.
Proverbs 31 says, “It is not for kings to drink wine.” History gives many examples of rulers who made foolish serious mistakes because of drunkenness. Many died early because of drunkenness. Alcoholism is very much hereditary and many of my ancestors were alcoholic, so I definitely should not start drinking alcoholic beverages. Some people were angry at me for this, but I know their anger is an attack from Satan. Jesus will keep me sober.
Keep doing and help lead others into this process is my prayer for all of us.
Thank you Vince for the 35 day challenge and for your prayers and prayers of all on the journey. Great instruction and life lessons I needed to add in my daily devotional life. God bless you
Our 35 days are finished. Now we are to go out and live this challenge for the rest of our lives.
Don’t let this 35 days be the end, but rather the beginning.
Vince, once again thank you for taking the time to putting this together and caring enough to want to see men walking with the Lord.
God’s blessing’s to all the guys who participated. Stay in the Word, talk to Jesus daily and start your day off in Him! Go boldly, for the Lord is with you always!
Blessings
You bet brother!
Wisdom ……..Congratulations everyone this 35 day challenge went fast. I am Happy to have been with you during this time.
Verses to reflect on:
Proverbs 30:
5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Proverbs 31:
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
9 Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
Lastly, Vince I thank our great and loving Lord for bringing you into my life about a year and a half ago, when I was in the midst of a desperate, yet prayerful search, for a biblical and loving men’s group. He answered my prayers! First with a WONDERFUL group, then with studies from Resolute!
You and your team are such a blessing to so many men (and their families)!
I will continue to pray for you, your wife & family, and that the Lord will continue to use you as a vessel of His will and glory!
Matt. 25:23 “Well done, good and faithful servant “
30:33: “For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.” I have definitely done this in my life before, stirred up anger, I was in an unhealthy place with my emotions and not dedicated to serving God at the time, but I have come a long way in the last 5-6 years alone, since I DID dedicate my life to the Lord.
31:17: “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” (talking about wives) This reminds me of ANY loving Christian wife, mine included. Her work ethic surpasses mine more often than not, which is a hard thing to admit, but truth is more important than comfort.
31:30: “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” This verse reminds me of my wife as well, she fears the Lord and I praise her every chance I get. As you talked about in the devo for today Vince, I am going to text my mother, see if she can talk, then call her and tell her how much I love and appreciate her as she is. Not that I haven’t done that before, but as I heard from
Craig Groeschel, in a sermon series we did in my small group, “don’t hold back a compliment from anyone.” We are called to lift each other up with encouragement, why not start with our households, family that raised us, and anyone else that comes to mind.
Maybe we can get the HVBC men together to meet for the P.A.C.T and/or P.A.S.S.
Love it. We are launching a lent or easter one that will be similiar!
Thanks for the challenge. It’s truly inspiring to see an interest in helping men. I’ve been praying for more interest in men’s ministry. I appreciate all the help I can get. Well done!!
This is a very great approach that’s not too heavy for some men. I think this will get men where we want to lead them and build them.
Thanx for the study and insights
Be well !!
I am weary God, but I can prevail. This is the start of Proverbs 30 and later on the proverb speaks of four things that are small or weak yet extremely wise. I am reminded of Paul’s words, “when I am weak, He (God) is strong,” which I believe is in line with the exhortation of this proverb.
In isolation men are at risk and will often fail. We need to be Spirit led, co-laborer challenged, and helping others all along the way. We were created for relationship and when we live in the best context of that we will prevail and God will be seen and glorified.
Thank you so much Vince!
Jordan—thanks for coming along on this journey. And all glory to God.
I have been fortunate to have the wife I have. Her name is Julie and she is amazing. Always there to give our 3 boys and I encouragement, uplifting words and unconditional love.
Thank you Vince very much,
God bless you and all of the men who participated.
#boom
It was good to work through this challenge, I know I have some pieces I hope to take away and some rhythms I’m hoping to keep going in the future. Good stuff!
Proverbs 30:6 says do not add to the words of the Lord, a good reminder to us to push each other as men to follow God more closely, but not become legalists
Vince… Thank U for leading and challenging thru this wonderful 35 day study! It’s been so helpful to slow down.. make it a priority and be blessed because of it. Game of Life ON! I’m sharing the principles with others~
YES YES and More YES! Proud of you.
Thank you Vince for the last 35 Days. I’ve greatly enjoyed it! #AllIn
Take up the cross daily!
#allin
Vince,
This has been a great 35 days!!! It has been a blessing to me to further my connection with the Lord.
God bless you and everyone who accepted this challenge!!!
Me as well. We are always better together
Thank you Vince for taking the time to put together this 35 day challenge. It has been a big encouragement to me, and also a good reinforcement for me, as I do a lot of these things with men already. Community with men is so important, yet it is so underestimated nowadays but it is so needed. Please keep working and helping men be in community with each other . God bless you.
And God’s blessing on you my brother!
Great study, Vince, thanks for your intuitive approach and your passion for teaching men. Blessings on your work to produce books and materials , and on Resolute as a whole.
My honor. And God’s glory!
What a way to finish up Proverbs with the very last verse 31 “Give her the reward she has earned and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” In my office I have a plaque that says “Don’t do anything that wouldn’t make your mother proud”. I just lost my loving mother to cancer five months ago so today I’m reflecting back on what we have learned in a practical way which mirrors my mom’s teaching and her example throughout my life. It has certainly changed my prayer life and my desire to be obedient to God’s Word!
This has been a great journey with you guys! I’m looking forward to meeting with any or all of you to share what we’ve gleaned from this challenge. Let’s keep it going. Like Vince said in his audio this morning, let’s not “do nothing”. We all know the results we get from “nothing”. Grateful for God’s Word, Vince’s teaching and all of you guys! All In!
I have been taught, trained, rebuked, and corrected the past 35 days. Knowing that other men have been in this journey as well has been very encouraging. Thank you all for your comments throughout the challenge.
Thank you Vince!!
You are welcome.
I have enjoyed this challenge, and I believe it will be useful in our men’s ministry.
Thank you Vince for the challenge! I’m looking forward to using these tools in the fellowship of men in my town.
This has been a great 35 days, I can’t wait to share this with other men.
Thank you
#appreciated. Keep moving forward.
Thanks for the leadership Vince. This was great.
You are welcome. We cannot do this without you!
Vince –
Thank you for showing us the way to go ALL IN!
And, now, apathy stand clear. God is on the move in many groups of mighty men. Let the transformations unfold.
P.S.
BAM!
Apathy just went down a notch. The battle is on.
Don’t do nothing….
According to Proverbs 28, I think the author is saying there is or should be fear, which leads to selfishness, in the heart of the wicked…and the righteous live by confident truth, which leads to generosity.
I wonder if my understanding of justice (conviction) has been poor because I haven’t been seeking God with my whole heart? (Verse 5)
Realizing that I wasn’t spending time with Jesus specifically had a changing affect several weeks back.
I thank God for this ministry, its leadership, and for the men who took this journey together.
Want to study Jesus together?
Agur, the author of Prov 30 obviously studied Solomon’s work and greatly embraced it. Verses 5-9 especially capture the life message for me.
vs5 – Every word of God is flawless vs6 – Do Not add to them vs7 – Two things I ask of you God vs8 – keep falsehood and lies far from me and give me neither riches or poverty but give me only my daily bread vs9 – Otherwise I may have too much and disown you or I may become poor and steal and dishonor the name of my Lord.
This challenge has been a powerful start to 2020. I feel that Our Lord has called us to a discipleship that will yet open our eyes,ears and heart to Him more and more. I’m with Ben and Wayne to keep this moving forward, growing our friendships, brotherhood and accountability.
Thank you Vince……………..
Best of God’s Will to all you Men!!!!!!!
Proverbs 30:5 5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Our shield is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Great verse, my friend.
Done… for the moment. Much to do.
Deny self, Take up your cross daily, Follow me. Now go out as I have shown you and make disciples.
Lord you give us what we need! My house is thankful! I have grown to be more consistent in my time with you through this 35 day challenge. I seek your wisdom daily!
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Surround yourself with positive influences. Don’t fall prey to the deceptive influences. Thank you Toby brothers in Christ for the daily strength you give. Let us continue our journey by being shining examples of Christ.
Thanks again, Vince!
#brothers
This has been a great learning experience, and as you guys know, each time we read the same verses in the Bible we get new knowledge from it. I was told to seek wisdom and knowledge and I need you guys to hold me accountable. Let’s do it!
It’s great to be “All in”!
I’d say, don’t do it alone!
May we act like men as God calls us each to engage. Everyday. Amen!
Interesting. Here we are as a group going through the Q source to get instruction on leadership and at the same time we’re doing this challenge to be leaders. I’m grateful for each of you to have joined me, I I appreciate and need men in my life who aren’t afraid to pull leadership lessons from the Bible. I’m a better leader when my soul is centered and focused on God, spreading his word with an intention of partnership.
This has been very helpful, and I’m glad I worked through it to the end. Nice to have this in bite-size chunks to consider each day these last five weeks.
Proverbs has been a great book to read and study in the last 35 days. It will also be a book that I will get something more out of it, each time I go into it ! God please keep me focused on your call for my life , that I will not become complacent , but an active MAN for your glory , the rest of my days.
Vince, Thank you for sharing your wisdom in this challenge. God has used your challenge in my life; God speaks to me more clearly when I pray out loud, He has also shown me more in my scripture reading, I have a better perspective on accountability and God is leading me to put that into action, God is actively building brotherhood between me and two other men, and I am excited to see what ministry God has planned for me. Thank you for this time to focus on God’s hand taking real action in my life.
You are loved my friend. #gogod
What a great 35 days this had been. I am amazed at how much I have learned and enjoyed this time. Thank you Vince for all of your time and effort and the amazing job you did presenting this. It’s my hope and prayer that God continues to shine down on you, your family, and your ministry.
Be blessed today. You went all in
Proverbs 30:8 “…give me neither poverty or riches but only my daily bread. ” Thanks Vince for giving us our “daily bread.” Praying for this group to continue to spread the bread to other hungry men!
You are loved. Thanks for being God’s man and living all in
I honor Carla, my wife of 33 years, she has been faithful to me when I was in the ministry, homeschooled our two sons, taught Sunday school for years and most of all has loved me. What a gift the Lord has given me, she is more precious than rubies. I love her with all my heart.
Completed the 35 day challenge and feeling great about my future as a husband and father! My wife is a very noble strong woman of God and my children are beautiful. I’m going to continue to step it up and be All in for Jesus! Thanks Vince!
What an amazing journey. Glory be to God! Thank you Vince for leading us on this kick start of the next stage in my life. Do you have any recommendations of what book of the Bible to read through next? I would have never thought proverbs to be so life changing. Thank you for showing me how to build self confidence through the living word of God. I am looking forward to starting a small group with “7Challenges men encounter”
I want to thank Vince for giving us the opportunity to grow in our faith and become men of action for God.
I want to thank my group of friends that excepted this journey with me and supported me. Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
No more apathy! God, give me passion to continue to grow in my service to you.
These is my prayer: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
This is my Praise. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but my wife, Donna who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Thank you Vince for the Challenge. Thank you for helping us to make it repeatable. Help me to keep the commitments I have made to self-discipline. Blessings to you and your family.
Vince…thank you for your heart to lead men closer to Christ. I appreciate all the time you have put in to this! Thank you!
Feeling the love brother!
I’m All In 😎
Love it!
A woman of the Lord is one is to be revered. Seek the Lord to find her and cherish her. As men, we are to lead those in our care with boldness that is given to us only by God. Thankful for this challenge and look forward to taking the guidance from it and use it in my daily walk with God.
Congratulations to all of you who finished well! Please let me know that you did when you see me.
Thank you Jay.
Paul said “I have run the race, I have finished the course,” but I say I have run the race, but have merely begun the course. Praying that I will finish well.
The 35 day challenge is complete, but my life-long challenge is still a work in progress. Proverbs has taught me to fear the Lord, to seek God’s wisdom, make good decisions, live according to God’s ways, and to Love and Honor my Wife. Proverbs 31:30b & 31 stood out to me. I am so thankful for a wife that loves the Lord.
It is time for me to put into action what I have learned.
Gain wisdom through Gods word, make good decisions based on His teachings and live a Godly life.
There is so much in today’s readings it’s hard to pick one thing that stands out.
30:5. Every word of God is pure: He is a shield to those who out their trust in Him. Amen. The green bar is all the way across the page, so 35 days have passed! I would love to have coffee with whoever made it to the end to help hold me accountable and strengthen friendships and brotherhood.
Over the last 35 days I have learned how to pray better and be able to have my time with God every morning before work
