We have been going through Proverbs now in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. Proverbs contains so much Wisdom, both in what to do and what NOT to do! Look at today's Proverb 22 in verse 7:
7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Notice that this is the way of the world! If we decide to rely on the world's system, then THIS will be our truth! BUT, if we rely completely on the LORD our God, then we'll have the results of verses 4 and 9:
4 The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
9 He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.
AMEN! Always remember, as you read and study in Proverbs, that both sides of an issue, the obedient to God side and the disobedient to God side, are presented as contrasting the good and Godly and the evil. Remember the words of JESUS in John 10:10 and refuse to be intimidated by a lying enemy!
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
THAT is God's desires for YOU! Dare to believe and expect Godly favor and anointing at every turn! After all, HE said that He would never leave us or forsake us! I choose to BELIEVE and RECEIVE! AMEN! Now let's close with a look at Proverbs 22:17-21:
17 Listen (consent and submit) to the words of the wise, and apply your mind to my knowledge; 18 For it will be pleasant if you keep them in your mind [believing them]; your lips will be accustomed to [confessing] them. 19 So that your trust (belief, reliance, support, and confidence) may be in the Lord, I have made known these things to you today, even to you. 20 Have I not written to you [long ago] excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 21 To make you know the certainty of the words of truth, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
AMEN! Stay 'tuned in' daily, and moment by moment, to the still small voice of God the Holy Spirit as he proceeds to lead, guide and direct you through every moment of every day! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with another Christmas song called "Saviour of The World":
Shalom in Him!
