Proverbs 27

(W)
Key Verses that jumped at me
Pro 27:5,19
5 Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
19 As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.

What spoke to me in the verses
The verse 5 reminded me of the time where the Lord rebuked the pharisees with the strongest language. He didn't rebuke the hypocrites. He came to rebuke the hypocrisy for what they were not. And the Lord loves them, and He rebuked not at the hypocrites but at the hypocrisy. This reminded me once again that the Lord wants us to go to Him as we are. For whatever struggles and difficulties we may face, we just have to let go. And let God. We go to Him as we are, and the Lord will restore us. Just as He restored Peter. The goodness of God led Peter to repentance. And there along that line, when we are under grace of the Lord, sins will have no dominion over us. And we will be head, not be tail, and not beneath.
The next verse 19, I was reminded of the water having that similarity to being the law. Where it shows us our weaknesses. But because of the Lord's perfect finished work at the cross. He came to fulfill all laws. And the Lord's sacrifice at the cross, that divine exchange, where we are made righteous once and for all. And when we are conscious always of the Lord's unfailing love seeing Him through His grace at the cross, all His grace superabounds in us. And we receive the abundance of grace and gift of righteousness from the Lord, that we will reign in life through Lord Jesus. Amen! Hallelujah! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Key Verses that jumped at me
Proverbs 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

What spoke to me in the verses
This verse reminds me of Matthew 6:34 where Jesus reminded us not to worry about tomorrow. The Lord loves us so much that He wants us to take each day at a time, each moment at a time and know that His grace will be fresh for every need that is in place. And just like the people of Israel when they were in the wilderness, God blessed them with daily manna and so our posture is to live each day at a time and trust that the supply will be there tomorrow when tomorrow comes, for our God is faithful! 
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

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 ืจָืคָื (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
