Proverbs 11 Part 2 of our 31 Proverbs in 31 days

🌱Simply put...doing good and living a Godly life has many rewards and leads to good things! Even long life. A wicked life leads to destruction. No good can come from doing wrong and living a wicked life. 

Proverbs 11:5-10 KJV
[5] The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. [6] The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. [7] When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. [8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. [9] An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. [10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Balance.

Proverbs 11 part 1 of our 31 Proverbs in 31 days 

🌱Greetings Believers and doers of Gods word. What's your read? What are you studying? 
My favorite is verse 1! God does not like false scales but loves accurate weights. False scales are an abomination to God! Everything must have balance. One can't outweigh the other and claim to be equal. This is so relevant today! This can be applied to race, economics, business, education, and the functions of the home. If you have to lie about the balance or imbalance...you already know. 
Proverbs 11:1-3 KJV
[1] A false balance is abomination to the Lord : but a just weight is his delight. [2] When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. [3] The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

🌱"Leave off, simple ones [forsake the foolish and simpleminded] and live! And walk in the way of insight and understanding." -Proverbs 9:6

I had to share the Easy Read Version on Proverbs 9:1-9 because many will miss it in the KJV. I will say this! Verse 1-6 is what I model my life on in these areas with pride! 7-9 are principles I live with and of. We need WOMEN to build up! Not tear down! Women bring in and raise every man and woman on this earth! Take that in! We have the power alone to change this world just by how we conduct ourselves and the examples we set. What we stand for and not what we lay for. Let's get back to building strong homes! Having high standards and living as God needs us to! Confronting those who

condemn and criticize. Correcting the wise and not idolizing wicked regardless to the person or persons. Instruct those willing to learn and love. 

Wisdom’s Invitation

9 Wisdom has built her house; she has made it strong with seven columns.[a] 2 She has cooked meat, mixed wine, and put food on the table. 3 She has sent her servant girls to announce from the highest hill in the city,[b] 4 “Whoever needs instruction, come.” She invites all the simple people and says, 5 “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have prepared. 6 Leave your old, foolish ways and live! Advance along the path of understanding.”

7 Criticize a person who is rude and shows no respect, and you will only get insults. Correct the wicked, and you will only get hurt. 8 Don’t correct such people, or they will hate you. But correct those who are wise, and they will love you. 9 Teach the wise, and they will become wiser. Instruct those who live right, and they will gain more knowledge.

🌱Hate evil. Love God. Hating evil is PROOF that you LOVE GOD! 

Wisdom is far more valuable than anything on this earth! So many trust in chariots some in horses. But when you trust in and depend on GOD!!! You can't go wrong! I will FOREVER be one who speaks Truth because I know how valuable it is. My lips will continue to part the sea of lies, doubt, and plots against us with the truth! Right things! Positive things! The truth sets us free so clearly anything opposite that binds us and keeps us bound! 

 Proverbs 8:6-13 KJV

[6] Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. [7] For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. [8] All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. [9] They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. [10] Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. [11] For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. [12] I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. [13] The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

We make life complicated. Not God! Us! We can be blessed beyond measure if and when we choose to live our lives for God. Being conscious and aware of what God desires, requires, and has for us. Anyone who is constantly waiting for God to guide them and walks that path will be BLESSED and Favored! For when we sin and wrong others, we're only harming ourselves! We may not see the results of it because we're too spiritually blind but we are. One way or another it comes back to hurt us more than those we hurt. Hating God only means you Iove death. 

Proverbs 8:34-36 KJV

[34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. [35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. [36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

🌱I can hear the song Proverbs 3 Tablet of Your Heart by Todd Dulaney when I read Proverbs 7:3 and I LOVE IT!  "I will hide your word in my heart!" 

Listen, God has given us all we need to face this world and the enemy. All we have to do is "keep my words and treasure my commandments within you [so they are readily available to guide you]. Keep my commandments and live and keep my teachings and law as the apple of your eye. Bind them securely on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart." (Proverbs 7:1-3)

When we read, listen, study, obey, keep, and love the word of God, we will not fail. God needs our focus daily. Our commitment daily. Our fight daily! To war with principalities daily. It's easy when we've taken God's word and hid it in our hearts. It's possible when we allow God to use us! To use us in this time for His purpose! Choose His word in all we say and do.

🌱God knows we forget or get distracted. That's why He urges us to keep His commandments embedded in our hearts, minds, and daily ins and outs. 

When we live a life pleasing to God and for God we take His commandments with us everywhere we go! In every decision, every conversation, every relationship, every endeavor. Gods word and His commandments must be rooted in love and individual respect. His commandments will keep us on the right path as long as we apply them to our lives. 

Proverbs 6:20-23 KJV
[20] My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [21] Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. [22] When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. [23] For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

🌱Words to encourage us all to NOT choose laziness! 

Procrastination are the excuses for laziness! God has provided so many examples to show us what the benefits of WORK is! He created every creature and insect that show us work ethics daily. Proverbs says go look at the ants! How many of us have ant piles in the yard right now?! Go disturb one at ANY time of the day and watch them. They are constantly at work! We are to be like ants. Constantly working, building, and providing together! 

Today's world is filled with men and women but especially men who are lazy and never learned to work so they do everything to not work but want to gain the benefits of working. Smh being lazy leads to poverty in some way shape or form. Financially, spiritually, mentally, socially, substantially. Instead of finding ways to go around God's word; let us choose discipline, devotion, dedication, and determination to live by the word of God! Let's take those dreams God has given and work them like the ants until they pile into fruition. 

Nothing is accomplished in sleep other than rest and dreams. Don't allow sleep to be more consistent than your work! And don't choose to be like the men of today, lazy, weak, and deceptive because they lack wisdom, discipline and work ethics. 
Proverbs 6:6-11 KJV
[6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: [7] Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, [8] Provided her meat in the summer, and gathered her food in the harvest. [9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? [10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: [11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelled, and thy want as an armed man.

🌱Here, men are warned of the ways of the loose woman. 

The adulterer. The woman who serves no higher power and aims to destroy with words that soothes the flesh and tickle the ears. God warns through others every trap the enemy sets for each and every one of us! It is up to us to take heed and pay attention to those warning. To "attend" to this wisdom. Women have the power to produce life and death by the very gift that brings life! We are more powerful than we realize which is why it's all the more important to pay attention to who and what we are. Men have fallen to the seduction of the "loose" woman since …forever! Lol but history proves that laying with a woman while married (being the man or woman) leads only to destruction. God says don't even go near her home! Knowing temptation will easily draw you in. 

You'll lose your entire future planned by God running behind the loose woman! Your wealth, your family, your friends, respect, and honor will be lost! Peace and joy will be hard to find. 
Proverbs 5:3-14 KJV
[3] For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: [4] But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. [5] Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. [6] Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. [7] Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. [8] Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: [9] Lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: [10] Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger; [11] And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, [12] And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; [13] And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! [14] I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

🌱To have God is to gain wisdom and to have wisdom is to have discernment and understanding! If you don't have God....you can't have understanding or wisdom! 

Proverbs 4:5

Get skillful and Godly Wisdom, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation); do not forget and do not turn back from the works of my mouth.

It's impossible to even be able to accept discipline without God!  

Proverbs 4:13 KJV

[13] Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

Here are those much needed words for every young man!! Young woman too but especially young men! Read this for yourself and have your children hear it and speak it daily! LOVE instruction! Instruction is disciplined learning. Instruction is turning your ear and heart to guidance and knowledge to learn how to obtain it and keep those instructed principles for yourself. 

It serves no one but the enemy to sit eat and become envious of the ways of the wicked. Wicked doesn't even know they're wicked because they are too busy causing division, confusion, setting traps, and drawing others to hell. We have to teach our young people and ourselves to discern good and wicked ones that are disguised as "friends" or acquaintances. So many are being led astray by the wicked because they can't even identify the ways of the wicked and are easily fooled. 

Wicked men can't even sleep because they busy themselves plotting and planning wicked traps for the day ahead. Don't be like the wicked! It's path leads only to destruction! Value and love all instruction that leads to God and hold to it all your life! 

Proverbs 4:13-20 KJV

[13] Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. [14] Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. [15] Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. [16] For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. [17] For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. [18] But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. [19] The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. [20] My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

🌱Believers and Doers!! 

God said in ALL your ways acknowledge Him! Whew! That's deep! In every plan, thought, action, desire, success, failure, trial, attempt, journey! All your ways! I just imagine the world today if we all acknowledged God in all our ways! A world of milk and honey!!

 A world of agape love and peace and wisdom! God requires us to acknowledge Him so that we can be less of us and more of Him! Each time God gets the glory or "shoutout" it draws others near to Him! But look at us today. Men and women are so anxious to be seen themselves and to get the glory themselves! That's what 

everything falls short and has short life! Because we don't acknowledge God! We don't allow God to advance us as a people or a nation! We keep trying to give man the glory smh. Let us refocus our attention and eyes and our lives! Not on the world but on and of Him! God! 

Proverbs 3:6-8 KJV

[6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. [8] It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

I aim to live like this! A life of safety and protection from all hurt harm and danger! A life where living for, with, and by God that we're able to sleep peacefully in the midst of all the chaos, fear, pain, sorrow, etc. when we live to honor God we can have true, internal peace. God gives me this confidence! To fear no one and nothing! Knowing that with God I have everything I need to LIVE a healthy life. 

Proverbs 3:23-26 KJV

[23] Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. [24] When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. [25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. [26] For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
