Proverbs 4:1,2

Proverbs 4:1,2 (KJV)
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

Gain Understanding From God

The only way we can know if we are on the right path or not is if we are reading the Bible and praying to God on a regular basis.

Proverbs 31:10-12

Proverbs 31:10-12 (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

Happy Mother’s Day

To be married to a virtuous woman, is what all men that look to God look forward to. Rich or poor, this married couple is still happy, because they have each other and God’s peace in their lives.

Be Vigilant And Sober Minded

We are to “watch and be sober”. Understand that the night crowd can easily lead you astray, so stay vigilant and go to bed when it is night.

Proverbs 4:14,15

Proverbs 4:14,15 (KJV)
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.

Be Wise In the Lord And Do What He Says

The Bible makes it clear how we can know how to live and act for God. He teaches us to “take fast hold of instruction” and “let her not go” but keep it.

Proverbs 3:5,6

Proverbs 3:5,6 (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Luke 11:27,28

Luke 11:27,28 (KJV)
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The Bible Leads Us To Christ

Both Jesus and the Bible are called the “Word of God”. You cannot even have one without the other. It would be incomplete.

Proverbs 3:27,28

Proverbs 3:27,28 (KJV)
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Revelation 19:11-13

Revelation 19:11-13 (KJV)
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Our Confidence In God Helps Us

A Christian will not choose to do harm towards another person but show kindness instead. We pray that our speech is uplifting and our actions are considerate to other people’s needs.

1 John 2:9-11

1 John 2:9-11 (KJV)
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Live In God’s Love

If we are to believe that we know God personally, then we are also living in His will. There is a conviction “that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”

Proverbs 3:13,14

Proverbs 3:13,14 (KJV)
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

The Wisdom From God Brings Joy

The knowledge we gain from God is worth every penny. “For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.”

Proverbs 3:1-4

Proverbs 3:1-4 (KJV)
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust In God Over Yourself

If your focus is on God, you won’t help it but desire to live by His laws. By doing so, you are showing your trust in Him above all else.

Today’s Inspiration #2 (05/03/2018)

Have you read the Bible today? There is much learning to be had. Dive into God’s Word and allow the Lord to enlighten your mind. Have a prayer in your heart, that you may gain understanding. Wisdom can be achieved when we make time for God. But know that we can only learn when our hearts are open to the Lord’s message. God bless you.

Proverbs 2:1-3

Proverbs 2:1-3 (KJV)
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

When Do You Come To God?

Hearing the Father speak to our hearts is vital to our salvation. How can we even think that we are saved if the Lord is not with us?

Proverbs 1:22,23

Proverbs 1:22,23 (KJV)
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Proverbs 1:5-7

Proverbs 1:5-7 (KJV)
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Come To God For Understanding

To gain knowledge, we must first understand the meaning of fear. We learn that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

Finished My Study On Psalms

Praise God. After a year of studying and writing on Psalms, I just finished the last devotional message today with Psalm 150.

Psalm 150:1,2

Psalm 150:1,2 (KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Earnest Prayers To God

In your prayers and worship, acknowledge that the Lord is all powerful. He surely is mighty and can do all things for our lives.

Psalm 149:4-6

Psalm 149:4-6 (KJV)
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
