This morning we will be taking a brief review of proverbs 19
I will just be sharing the highlights of what ministered to me
Verse 1: Integrity should be my watchword as a child of God
Verse 2: Knowledge is powerful
Verse 11: I should be slow to anger; I don't have to react to everything
Verse 20: Me paying attention to instructions & counsel is necessary to make right decisions
Verse 23: When I fear God, I won't do certain things & as such I am spared the consequences of pertaining in such
Verse 24: I can't afford to be lazy as a Christian
Verse 26 tells me to honour my parents. Instructions are key.
They may not look palatable,
Verse 18 passes for a good guide in the spirit of father's day. Correction has no alternative
But we must obey, even when it doesn't make sense
Cos the blessing comes when we obey
Most times we react to issues instead of responding
Proverbs 19:20 (KJV) Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
Hear counsel.
Your wisdom may not show now, but it will in the end
Proverbs 19:20 Take good counsel and accept correction - that's the way to live wisely and well.
Accepting corrections is a mandate of growth and development
Verse 13a also tells us that to despise wisdom is to put calamity upon our fathers so we need to receive brain to make our Father's proud
Proverbs 19:2 Ignorant zeal is worthless; haste makes waste.
Zeal without wisdom is like a door without a key
Verse 14, I believe this scripture is saying that you may inherit great riches from your father & have a big home, but you cannot buy a good woman. A wise wife is a result of divine blessing
Verse 3, it is a man & his own foolish lust that causes sin in his life
Verse 26, He that waste his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth same, and bringeth reproach
Proverbs 19:11 Smart people know how to hold their tongue; their grandeur is to forgive and forget.
Proverbs 19:12 Mean-tempered leaders are like mad dogs; the good-natured are like fresh morning dew.
Of a truth, the chapter is filled with wisdom & we keep digging in
That's why the Bible says thy word is a light unto my path meaning as long as we keep walking, we need the word especially in these dark times
Our eyes of understanding are continually changed by the word
Prayers: We thank you Lord for your word! Bless this words in our hearts & May it not depart from our mouths in Jesus name! Amen
Don't forget to drop your comment and share
