Shalom,

We read Proverbs 11 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. The entire chapter is SO good! Here are just a few of the encouraging TRUTHS found here! Verses 5-6:

5 The righteousness of the blameless shall rectify and make plain their way and keep it straight, but the wicked shall fall by their own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright [their rectitude in every area and relation] shall deliver them, but the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity and greedy desire.

Then we have verses 20-21:

20 They who are willfully contrary in heart are extremely disgusting and shamefully vile in the eyes of the Lord, but such as are blameless and wholehearted in their ways are His delight! 21 Assuredly [I pledge it] the wicked shall not go unpunished, but the multitude of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be delivered.

And verses 27-28:

27 He who diligently seeks good seeks [God’s] favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come upon him. 28 He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident in his riches shall fall, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like a green bough.

And finally verses 30-31:

30 The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men—he gathers and receives them for eternity]. 31 Behold, the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be recompensed on earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!

Those who have received JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR have been made RIGHTEOUS with HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! SO let's operate as the RIGHTEOUS and walk in all of the promised blessings that come with that, knowing that all of the promises for those who have, and continue, to do evil SHALL also be fulfilled! OUR GOD is seeing to it all! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with a song that calls us all to make sure that we are surrendered continually to HIS Word and HIS will! "Resurrender":

Shalom in Him!
