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.

Proverbs 3:13,14

Proverbs 3:13,14 (KJV)
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

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)

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.

Proverbs 2:1-3

Proverbs 2:1-3 (KJV)

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)

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.”

Psalm 148:11-13 (KJV)

Praise God

Because the Lord knows us and loves us so much, He also has prepared a way for us to find true happiness. Those that discover the Lord, are healed from all their sins.

Psalm 146:1,2 (KJV)

The Lord is the giver of all things good. His love is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. He has offered me and you His living water, that we may not thirst.

Fight Against Temptation

With the Lord on our side, we become valiant fighters for His kingdom. We understand that the Lord knows us well and is able to see through our weaknesses and give us strengths.

Psalm 143:7,8

Psalm 143:7,8 (KJV)
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Come And Pray

Pray this hour and cry out to God. Stretch forth your hands to heaven and say, “my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land.”

Psalm 142:5,6

Psalm 142:5,6 (KJV)

I am with David, in that the Lord is my refuge also. He is my strength. When I am in trouble, I can always come to God and find peace.

Are You Ready For Judgement?

Those whose hearts are closed off to God’s will, in their life, are on a slippery slope to hell. Unless they open their hearts to God, they will surely die in their sins.
