Sometimes we have good days and sometimes not so good, right? Yet we can't let it get us down. We have to give ourselves a few minutes of sulk time then it's off to the races. I know now that being depressed about our past, present, or even future won't help anybody. But developing a plan of action, will. Just remember, there is something that can done about something.  Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”

Won't God do it? Won't God take His people from "nothing" to something, in an instant? He did it all throughout the bible. There are many stories about the nothing, low, underdogs who triumphed over undeniable feats (1 Corinthians 1:27-29). Don't you just love the the spirit of the underdog? I know I do.

Today I want to share a little about what Proverbs 3:13-18 says. Maybe it'll bless you with something that is on your mind today. 

Proverbs 3:13-18:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed."

Proverbs 16:3 says, "commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."  You know what that means, right? It means great things for you and I when we do the work. Yes that means when we're not sitting around like I used to do. It means living every day to achieve all that God has for us. Yesssssss.

Have you ever heard Habakkuk 2:2/3? It's scripture that talks about seeing a vision, writing it down, working towards it, and waiting for it to come. Now waiting doesn't just mean sitting around. It means working, because remember, faith without works is dead, right? The scripture says: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay."

Has anyone ever told you, your words have power? If not, I'm coming to tell you to start believing they in fact do have power, much power. Proverbs 18:21 says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

Do know God is watching our every move? Yes, and do you know He's with us when we do things right and when we do things wrong? I don't know about you, but that gives me peace and solace especially when some of my days are not good. Yes, I know He will never leave me or forsake me. How about you? Are you aware of that? I'm sure you are, but listen to this: Psalm 121:7/8 says, "The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever."

Once upon a time I didn't think the Lord was pleased with me. You see, I had made some mistakes. I had dropped the ball. And I had made some stupid decisions. I wasn't feeling too hot about myself either at that time, because I had disappointed even myself and I eventually forgave myself. Yet, I was wrong about God. Yes, Psalm 139:14 is proof of that. And I know it, because Romans 8:1 also tells me there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. So, yes, the Lord is pleased with me, that I know.

Proverbs 9:9 says, "give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning." That verse is saying, put your energy into a person who is open to hearing and accepting wisdom. Doing so will get better results, because such a person is interested in doing what God would have him to do, and will become wiser as a result. Yes. A scoffer, on the other hand, is the opposite. That person doesn't believe God or the wisdom that comes from God.

Are you seeking anyone? God, perhaps? Who are you seeking? Because Proverbs 8:17 says, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me." Yes, Proverbs 8:17 is God talking. Do you hear Him?
