Daily Bible Reading “Walk in Integrity” (Proverbs 19:1-7)

Walk in Integrity

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 19:1-7. In this Scripture, we are reminded that better is the poor who walk in integrity, than one who is perverse in their lips, and is a fool.

Also, that the soul without knowledge is not good; and those who are hasty with their feet sin.

The foolishness of a person corrupts their way: and their heart frets against the LORD.

Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor. Have you ever noticed how wealthy people seem to have many friends, but poor people have very few friends?

A false witness will not go unpunished, and those who speak lies will not escape. Lying will catch up with you. Even if you don’t get caught immediately, the truth will eventually come out and you will be caught in a lie.

Many will plead for the favor of a prince: and every person is a friend to those who give gifts.

All the brethren of the poor hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? He pursues them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from the enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 contains thirty-one Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or groups.
