Proverbs 20

(W)
Pro 20:6,24,26 

V6 spoke to me that all of us in this world, shall not boast in their own strength, but to always to boast in the strength of the Lord, and boast in the goodness and grace of the Lord. His grace is made perfect in our weaknesses and His grace is more than sufficient for us. Another word for faithful (in Hebrew word which is emuwn) is truth. And that is what the Lord want us to do, to always believe in the Lord, and trust in the Lord with all our heart.
What v24 spoke to me is that every child of God, our steps are guided and led by the Holy Spirit. And this reminded me of the verses in Jeremiah 1:6-12, which says that God knows everything about us way before we were formed in our mother's womb. And in Psalm 139:13-18, the verses say God have every good thoughts of us and when sum them all up together, this will be much more than what the sands could be numbered. Praise God! And when we trust in the Lord with all we can with our heart, our ways ahead will be filled with good days!
And moving on to next verse is v26, which says wise king sifting out the wicked and threshing wheel over them. This reminded me of the finest flour, obtained by pounding of the grains, and reminding me of Lord Jesus Christ finished work, where He was "pounded" and God's judgment on Him. And today, we can stand righteous in God's eyes because of Jesus' finished work. Praise Jesus! And threshing wheel reminded me of praying in the spirit which is used outwardly which is referred to as ramah in Greek, and is also associated with threshing teeth when we speak in tongues, that are used against our enemies. Praise the name of Lord Jesus!

Key Verses that jumped at me
Proverbs 20:28 NKJV
Mercy and truth preserve the king,
And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne.

What spoke to me in the verse
The word “mercy” here is the Hebrew word hesed, which means God’s grace. The word “truth” is the Hebrew word “emeth,” which means God's faithfulness. And since we are called to be king priest, I believe that God's grace and His faithfulness would preserve us. And preserve here is referred to as "to watch, guard, keep". Isn't that beautiful? That is is the Lord's grace and faithfulness that would watch over us!

And that reminds me of Psalm 121:4 that indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. We are so blessed to have the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to preserve us, to watch over us, with His grace (unmerited) and His faithfulness (undeserved)!

Proverbs 14

(S) Proverbs 14:30 NKJV A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. A sound heart. Is the key to the body. No wonder it says in Proverbs 4:23 to guard our hearts above all else. Don't you just love how the Lord keeps things simple and straightforward for us? He doesn't give us 101 things to do and be reminded of, He always reminds us of the one thing that is needful. And the hebrew word for "sound" is רָפָא (rapha), which means healed and whole. As our hearts believe that we are healed and whole, by the finished work of Christ, out of it shall flow life and health to our bodies. Proverbs 4:22-23 (NLT) for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. And if we read the verse that comes before verse 22, the Lord reminds us to pay attention to what He says (the Word of God). He wants us to go back to the word and as He has d...

Proverbs 16

Pro 16:7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. What this verse spoke to me is that when we place all trust in the Lord, and be constantly conscious of the Lord's love for us, His grace surely superabounds in us. And God sees us righteous today, becos of the precious and divine exchange between us and Lord Jesus. I was watching the mid-week sermon by Ps Prince earlier on, and Pastor talked about Jesus was at the cross where darkness covered the earth. And this is so that we could walk today and in the future, to be in the shining light of the world. And all favours of God and His blessings will be upon us, the head of righteous (Pro 10:6)! Praise Jesus! Another verse that spoke to me is v9 which says a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. This shows us that every way that we take, the Lord are always ahead of us, for He goes right before us, protecting us and deliver us from every evils and to provide us...

Proverbs 10

(S) For today's proverbs, I wanted to pick out the promises for the righteous ones and claim it in Jesus name! 🙌🏻 🔸 righteousness delivers from death (v1) - the Lord delivered us from death 🔸The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish (v2) - the Lord will not let us go hungry, it is His heart desires to feed us and provide for us, just like how He went to the woman at the well and after ministering to her, He told the disciples, He has food that they do not know of. When we allow the Lord to feed us, He is satisfied... 🔸 Blessings are on the head of the righteous (v5) - the Lord has crown us with blessings, in exchange of the crown of thorns that He bear for us to take away the curse so we can receive blessings upon blessings, grace upon grace! 🔸The memory of the righteous is blessed (v7) - we have the mind of Christ, and even our memory is blessed! 🔸The mouth of the righteous is a well of life (v11) The tongue of the righteous is choice silver (v20) The ...
