Job 21 (KJV)

13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Psalm 77 (KJV)

1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore (pain) ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I said, This is my infirmity (weakness): but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

Matthew 8 (KJV)

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked (strongly corrected) the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.


Our Lack of Faith Makes Us Afraid ~ Karmen

Ecclesiastes 10 (KJV)

1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary (pharmacy) to send forth a stinking savour (sour smell) : so doth a little folly (stupidity, madness) him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.

2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding (humbleness) pacifieth (makes peace for) great offences.

12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

Sometimes scriptures are shared to give knowledge or insight.  With this one, King Solomon is referring to what matters in this world.  Celebrations usually involve food and entertainment.  Also, to really enjoy the festivities people offer alcoholic beverages.  With those two it's specifically for enjoyment.  It can not offer much more.  Money on the other hand can do so much more than entertain.  It pays the bills, etc.; it relieves debt which brings peace. You can't go very far in this world without money.  Far, in the sense of success and having access to things you would not have without it.   Money gives people the ability to control and have power.  Even over others.   This is simply dropping knowledge. Of course it will be misinterpreted and twisted to fit Satan's followers and mislead the lost.   This scripture is simple, it is not condoning the love of money it is simply providing insight ~ Karmen

20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Don't gossip.  Even if it's the truth.  Don't share your inner most thoughts aloud because someone around may hear it and spread the news.  ~  Karmen

Psalm 131 (KJV)

1 Lord, my heart is not haughty (conceited), nor mine eyes lofty (pompous): neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned (separated) of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned (foster) child.

Deuteronomy 22 (KJV)

5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

Psalm 107 (KJV)

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed (restored) of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed (won back, discharged, exchanged, purchased, retrieved, repossessed, recaptured) from the hand of the enemy;

8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned (hated) the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder (cut in two).

15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder (cut in two).

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

39 Again, they are minished (humbled) and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
