#1. The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. Proverbs 27:7
Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness (Matthew 5:6) or are you filling your self with the things and spirit of this world (1 Corinthians 2:12)?
#2. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. Proverbs 27:8
Be careful how much time you spend wandering around on the internet, for you may get caught in a trap. Stay close to the Lord Jesus Christ and his word and don't wander away from the counsels of God.
#3. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored. Proverbs 27:18
Are we waiting on the master or are we demanding and wanting the master to wait on us? To many of so called "Christians" today demand of God, though they would never say this, and expect God to move at their every whim. God help us to be a yielded vessel fit for the masters use.
2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
#4. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepluchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleaness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Matthew 23:27-28
Are you a hypocrite? Do you look all beautiful and nice on the outside, yet are filled with dead men's bones on the inside. Do you hide your iniquities behind your nice christian appearance? Repent and turn from you wicked ways and be washed in the blood of the Lamb of God.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

What Is Your Desire?
What are you desiring today? Is it the things of God or the world?
The bible says in Matthew 4:4:
"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
How important then is God's word? How much time are you spending in your bible? The devil tried to get the Lord to satisfy his flesh by tempting him to turn the stones into bread. What is the devil trying to get you to be satisfied with today? Trying to be satisfied with anything but the word of God and salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ will leave you empty, lost and hopeless!
Don't fall prey to the enemies tactics! You can never be satisfied with anything this world has to offer to you.
Ecclesiastes 1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The world is always putting out a new movie, T.V. show, website, music, beautiful woman or handsome man, magazine, car, and house to try and make you think that you can be satisfied with these things, but it is not so my friend!
Ecclesiastes 4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
No matter how much money you have or will make, it will never satisfy!
Proverbs 27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Our desire should be towards God's word and His righteousness!
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
