PROVERB OF THE DAY

(Proverbs 17)

1. Better is a dry morsel with quietness,
Than a house full of feasting with strife.

2. A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame,
And will share an inheritance among the brothers.

3. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
But the LORD tests the hearts.

4. An evildoer gives heed to false lips;
A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue.

5. He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker;
He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.

6. Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father.

7. Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
Much less lying lips to a prince.

8. A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

9. He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

10. Rebuke is more effective for a wise man
Than a hundred blows on a fool.

11. An evil man seeks only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12. Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his folly.

13. Whoever rewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.

14. The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.

15. He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.

16. Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom,
Since he has no heart for it?

17. A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.

18. A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge,
And becomes surety for his friend.

19. He who loves transgression loves strife,
And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20. He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,
And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil.

21. He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

22. A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.

23. A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back
To pervert the ways of justice.

24. Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25. A foolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her who bore him.

26. Also, to punish the righteous is not good,
Nor to strike princes for their uprightness.

27. He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

28. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

Ellen G. White
To those who are contending with the power of habit, God says: “Would you walk by and by the streets of the holy city? Then obey the command, Come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing. I, the infinite God, the Creator of the universe, will receive you.
I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters.” “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” Connect with Heaven. Thus you may become children of the heavenly King.
Do you want higher honor, greater exaltation? Riches God has in abundance for those who overcome; for the streets of the holy city are paved with gold. It is your privilege to enter this city, to partake of the tree of life, to listen to the voice that is sweeter and richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ears. There is strength in the arm of the Lord. Take hold upon it, and you will one day stand victors in the city of God, each wearing on his brow a crown of immortal glory. ST January 30, 1901, par. 9

A Nugget of Truth.
GOD’S WARNING AGAINST QUICK-PROFIT INVESTMENTS, WHAT CAN MONEY STEAL BEFORE IT IS EVER LOST?

“He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” — Proverbs 28:20

God does not condemn honest business, careful saving, or wise investment.

He warns against speculation—reckless ventures driven by haste, greed, excitement, and the dream of wealth without patient labor.

The greatest danger is not an empty account.

It is a heart emptied of Christ.

Inspiration warns that the feverish desire to become rich quickly is contrary to the faith God’s people profess.
---

① IT AWAKENS A HUNGER MONEY CANNOT SATISFY

Speculation whispers:

“One more gain—then I will have enough.”

But covetousness never says, “Enough.”

“They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare.” — 1 Timothy 6:9

When money becomes necessary for peace, identity, or security—

Christ is no longer treated as sufficient.
---

② IT REPLACES FAITH WITH FINANCIAL EXCITEMENT

Faith asks:

“Lord, what is Your will?”

Greed asks:

“How quickly can this multiply?”

Soon charts are watched more carefully than Scripture.

Prayer becomes hurried.

Family worship weakens.

Mission is postponed.

“Trust… not in uncertain riches, but in the living God.” — 1 Timothy 6:17

Satan need not make us openly deny Christ—

only too absorbed in gain to walk closely with Him.
---

③ IT RISKS THE MASTER’S PROPERTY

Everything belongs to Christ.

We are stewards—not owners.

“It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2

Speculation treats God’s entrusted means as though no account must be given.

Stewardship asks, “How can this serve Christ?”

Greed asks, “How much can this serve me?”

Every peso carries a responsibility.
---

④ IT PROMISES FREEDOM—BUT OFTEN CREATES BONDAGE

Quick-profit ventures may begin with hope—

then produce anxiety, secrecy, debt, sleeplessness, damaged homes, and desperate attempts to recover losses.

Inspiration warns that speculative enterprises become a snare and may bring financial and spiritual ruin.

Failure can empty the pocket.

Success can enthrone greed.

The worst bankruptcy is not financial.

It is spiritual.
---

⑤ IT TRAINS THE CONSCIENCE TO COMPROMISE

When profit rules the heart, conviction becomes negotiable.

Truth may be softened.

Dishonesty may be excused.

Giving may feel like loss.

The Sabbath may become inconvenient.

“Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” — Matthew 6:24

Money is a useful servant—

but a merciless master.

A venture may earn greatly and still destroy the soul.

“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36
---

⑥ GOD’S WAY BUILDS BOTH PROVISION AND CHARACTER

God’s path is not reckless haste, but:

honest labor, patient diligence, careful planning, contentment, generosity, integrity, and trust in His providence.

“Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.” — Proverbs 13:11

Speculation wants the harvest without cultivation—

the reward without discipline,

the crown without the cross.

But God is preparing more than our finances.

He is preparing our characters for eternity.
---

CHRIST IS THE TREASURE THAT CANNOT COLLAPSE

Jesus did not grasp for gain.

He surrendered everything to save us.

“Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” — 2 Corinthians 8:9

He exchanged heaven’s glory for Bethlehem’s poverty—

and Calvary’s cross for our eternal life.

No earthly return can equal the riches found in Christ.

Therefore:

Work honestly.
Plan wisely.
Reject greed-driven risk.
Live within your means.
Give generously.
Seek Christ first.

“Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” — Matthew 6:20

The safest investment is not the one promising the fastest return.

It is the one you can place before Jesus with a clear conscience, manage without covetousness, use to bless others, and explain faithfully in the judgment.

Beloved, before asking,

“How much can I earn?”

Ask:

“Will this strengthen my faith and serve Christ—or quietly make money my master?”

A fortune gained while faith is lost is not profit. It is eternal bankruptcy.

St. Stephen of Hungary

St. Stephen was from a very noble family and was born in the year 997 to father Prince Geza and mother Sarolt of Hungary. He married Giselle, the daughter of Duke Henry-Ii of Bavaria. He took very sincere efforts to spread Christianity and extended patronage to Church leaders. St. Stephen was anointed as king of Hungary by Pope Sylvester-II on the Christmas day in the year 1001, with the consent of the Holy Roman Emperor Otto-III. St. Stephen dedicated his crown to Holy Mary, during the coronation. His only son Emeric died after being wounded in a hunting expedition in the year 1031. Therefore St. Stephen was having no son left to rule his Kingdom. So in his death bed he raised the Holy Crown by his right hand and prayed to the Holy Mary to take the Hungarians as Her subjects and to become the Queen of Hungarians. He died on August 15, 1038, on the commemoration day of the Assumption of Mary.

St. Stephen's right hand is kept as a relic and is called as the "Holy Right" by Hungarians. His right hand remains uncorrupted due to the reason that with this hand he raised the Holy Crown towards heaven and prayed to the Virgin Mary. The right hand is now in the Basilica of King Saint Stephen in Budapest.

He is venerated as the patron saint of masons, stone cutters and brick layers. He was canonized by Pope Gregory-VII on August 20, 1083.
