Proverbs 26

(W)
Key Verses that jumped at me
Pro 26:12
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

What spoke to me in the verses
This verse spoke to me, which says never to rely on our own strength to accomplish things. And never to seek out our own wisdom through our own flesh. But to always seek out the wisdom from above, from the Lord. In Matt 6:33, where it says when we seek out the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things shall be added to us. As we know fools are those who are arrogant, and to say those who are wise by his own effort pale in comparison to those who are fools, it just reminded us of the need to always trust not in our own flesh, but in the Lord. When we have love in our heart, and there comes the provisions of peace, wisdom and other blessings from the Lord. And our other gifts, the Lord will bless us. So, it is important to always seek out the Lord, be conscious of His love for us, keep going to Him to draw from Him. Keep feeding on the words of God. And we will be gifted with the Bible hope, which will sustain and deliver us from times of trials and difficulties. Praise the Lord!

Key Verses that jumped at me
Proverbs 26:1 (VOICE)
Like snow in the summer and rain in the time of harvest,
 so honor is never fitting for a fool.


What spoke to me in the verses
This verse reminds me that there is a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Just like snow is not fitting for summer and rain is not helpful during harvest time, the Lord has also made sure that He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Even the words spoken at the right time brings joy, as mentioned in Proverbs 15:23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! It is a sweet reminder that our God, who is a God of Time and Space, and can all things around for our good so that a right gift at a right time would abundantly bless us! It affirms in me to continue to trust in His timing and His good works in our lives! And it reminds me of Genesis 24 when the servant was helping to seek a bride for Isaac and he prayed "LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham." And the word successful is "qarah" which means right place right time! With the Lord, we will find ourselves successful and being at the right place at the right time for our steps are led by the Lord!

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 ...
