Good evening Believers and doers of Gods word! What's your read/study? 

This a LONG ONE y'all! But it's GOOD!! 

Proverbs 14 starts out with HER or hER! The wise woman and the foolish woman. A wise woman BUILDS (Brings Up Intellectual Loving Daily Successors)!! She keep her eye and intent on God and His principals as she prepares her home to thrive! While the foolish woman TEARS (Thoughtless  Effortless  Aimlessly Raising Substandard) DOWN with her own hands because she ignores Godly principals! She lacks spiritual insight and wisdom. 

Proverbs 14:1 KJV

[1] Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

Let's talk about the Heart for a moment. Proverbs 14:10-14 is pulsating! The heart is more than that organ that keeps us physically alive. It is the pathway to spiritual, moral, and logical righteousness or wickedness. Remember! Hope deferred makes the heart sick right?! So let's see what takes us to sickness or out of it! I want to take four verses, out of order, group them together and share how it was given to me by the Holy Spirit. 

Proverbs 14:10 reads that "The heart knows it's own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy" it goes on to say in Proverbs 14: 13 that "Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, and the end of joy may be grief."

We KNOW our heart! Be it good or bad! Think of all the people hurting though that wears a mask of "joy" "laughter" "anger" "boldness" "carelessness" "confidence" and so on! This is why it is NEVER up to us to say "well they seem fine to me!" or "They had time to post or go to that gathering so they must be fine"! Or "They're really good people" "You can trust them". Only WE individuals with our own hearts KNOW our own bitterness!! That bitterness can be from constant hurt, pain, disappointment, fear, abandonment. Or it can be from our own wickedness we battle but keep hidden! 

Proverbs 14:12 reads "There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but it's end is the way of death. Because as 14:11 reads "the house of the wicked will be overthrown, But the tent of the upright will thrive. When your "right ways" that seem "straight" leads to death...death of others, hope, faith, purpose...chances are, you ain't in right standing with God. Because with God...we THRIVE! 

 You can tell when someone isn't happy with their own life. They're the ones who have to always stir up strife, confusion, plot against others and are on the run from all things God! They appear to be happy with their own wickedness but when the room clears and the silence fills the room...they can't even stand to look in the mirror! That's why they're always busy in everybody else's business! 

"The backslider in heart will have his fill with his own [rotten] ways, But a good man will be satisfied with his ways [the Godly thought and action which his heart pursues and in which he delights]" -Proverbs 14:14 

Want to ENJOY life?! Consistently and diligently pursue God! With your HEART! To know if one is truly "okay". To know if you're in right standings with God! To defeat and remove your own wickedness and then the wickedness of others! The one who is satisfied with their life, are the ones who seek God in all they say and do and go to God for readjustments DAILY! It's always a matter of the H E A R T!

We are committed to being committed to God and God's Word. Let's GROW!
