Proverbs 30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted,
and for four which it cannot bear:
Four sorts of persons are very troublesome. Men of
low origin and base spirit, who, getting authority,
become tyrants. Foolish and violent men indulging
in excesses. A woman of a contentious spirit and
vicious habits. A servant who has obtained undue
influence. Let those whom Providence has
advanced from low beginnings, carefully watch
against that sin which most easily besets them. Matthew Henry Concise Bible Commentary.

22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when
he is filled with meat;
A servant does not have the training to be a king.
If a servant were to rise suddenly to power, he
might likely be a harsh ruler.
By definition a fool is wicked and stupid.
In his heart, he believes there is no God.
He’s got what he wants, and will not care for
the needs of others.
4
Warnings of traps we could fall into.
A servant who suddenly finds himself
promoted above his real ability is in trouble
and will cause trouble.
Be content at your natural top rank.
5
23 For an odious woman when she is married; …
Proverbs 21 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide
house.
There is nothing worse than a bitter and
hateful woman who finally gets married.
Her husband and children will suffer.
Does she have to be such a wife? Choices!
6
23b and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Like the servant, she is not prepared to run a
household.
She will expect special privileges.
We must each expect to pull our weight and more.

24 There be four things which are little upon the
earth, but they are exceeding wise: 25 The ants are a
people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the
summer; 26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet
make they their houses in the rocks; 27 The locusts
have no king, yet go they forth all of them by
bands; 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces.
God gifted each one with needed abilities.

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare
their meat in the summer;
Ants survive because of their foresight.
I know it’s instinct and not reasoning, but they
do put up food during the summer.
Proverbs 10 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise
son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that
causeth shame.
Do whatever you can do at the time.
10
Excuses won’t help when trouble comes.
“I was going to cut the grass,
but it looked like rain.”
Did it rain?
No, but it was cloudy.
11
Don’t waste God’s Provision.
Spot waste and
cut it out.
Even a few $
per payday.
Look
ahead
for
future
needs.
