Listen when I correct you.
I will tell you what’s in my heart.
I will tell you what I am thinking.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest,
then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
But the wicked walk in thick darkness,
like those who travel in fog,
and yet don’t have a clue why they keep stumbling!
MY MUSINGS
"Jesus said, 'I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life '" (John 8:12 AMP). Give the order of your steps "to Him who is able to keep you from st
But the wicked walk in thick darkness,
like those who travel in fog,
and yet don’t have a clue why they keep stumbling!
MY MUSINGS
"Jesus said, 'I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life '" (John 8:12 AMP). Give the order of your steps "to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 1:24 NKJV).
Glory to God!
He will die for lack of instruction (discipline),
And in the greatness of his foolishness, he will go astray and be lost.
MY MUSINGS
Lord, give me direction for my way
AND the discipline to follow it.
For truth is a bright beam of light
shining into every area of your life,
instructing and correcting you to discover the ways to godly living.
There he was in the twilight as darkness fell,
convinced no one was watching
as he entered the black shadows of hell.
MY MUSINGS
Do not deceive yourselves, "For [God's] eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps. There is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves!" (Job 34-21-22 NKJV)
"I will show my love to those who passionately love me. For they will search and search continually until they find me.
Unending wealth and glory come to those who discover where I dwell. The riches of righteousness and a long, satisfying life will be given to them.
Those who love me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I w
"I will show my love to those who passionately love me. For they will search and search continually until they find me.
Unending wealth and glory come to those who discover where I dwell. The riches of righteousness and a long, satisfying life will be given to them.
Those who love me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I will fill their lives with treasures.
But those who stumble and miss me will be sorry they did! For ignoring what I have to say will bring harm to your own soul.
Those who hate me are simply flirting with death!”
Abandon your foolish ways and live!
Walk in the way of understanding.
A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;
a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
The speech of a good person clears the air;
the words of the wicked pollute it.
MY MUSINGS-Same scripture, different version
The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skillful and godly Wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut
A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;
a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
The speech of a good person clears the air;
the words of the wicked pollute it.
MY MUSINGS-Same scripture, different version
The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skillful and godly Wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut down [like a barren and rotten tree].
The lips of the [uncompromisingly] righteous know [and therefore utter] what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked knows [and therefore speaks only] what is obstinately willful and contrary (Proverbs 10:31-32 AMPC).
A kindhearted woman gains honor,
but ruthless men gain only wealth.
Those who are kind benefit themselves,
but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
A passive person won’t even complete a project,
but a passionate person makes good use
of his time, wealth, and energy.
Righteousness is like a shield of protection,
guarding those who keep their integrity,
but sin is the downfall of the wicked.
When your heart overflows with understanding
you’ll be very slow to get angry.
But if you have a quick temper,
your impatience will be quickly seen by all.
A foolish person rejects his father’s correction.
But anyone who accepts correction is wise.
You can avoid evil through surrendered worship and the fear of God,
for the power of his faithful love
removes sin’s guilt and grip over you.
Let a man meet a [ferocious] bear robbed of her cubs
Rather than the [angry, narcissistic] fool in his folly.
A full strong tower is the name of the Lord;
a just [or rightwise] man runneth to him, and [he] shall be enhanced.
Go ahead-be lazy and passive.
But you'll go hungry if you live that way.
You may have an abundance of wealth,
piles of gold and jewels,
but there is something of far greater worth:
speaking revelation-words of knowledge.
The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage,
But everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.
The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord
Is riches, honor, and life.
Embrace the truth and hold it close.
Don’t let go of wisdom, instruction, and life-giving understanding.
MY MUSINGS
"'Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6 NKJV)'"
Embrace Jesus. Hold on to the Truth.
Those enlightened with wisdom have spoken these proverbs:
Judgment must be impartial,
for it is always wrong to be swayed by a person’s status.
If you say to the guilty, “You are innocent,”
the nation will curse you and the people will revile you.
But when you convict the guilty,
the people will thank you and reward you with favor.
When you discover something sweet,
don’t overindulge and eat more than you need,
for excess in anything can make you sick of even a good thing.
It’s good to eat sweet things,
but you can take too much.
It’s good to be honored,
but to seek words of praise is not honor at all.
An undeserved curse will be powerless to harm you.
It may flutter over you like a bird,
but it will find no place to land.
When your soul is full, you turn down even the sweetest honey.
But when your soul is starving,
every bitter thing becomes sweet.
MY MUSINGS
"O taste and see that the LORD is good:
Blessed is the man that trusteth in him" (Psalm 34:8 KJV).
Guilty criminals experience paranoia
even though no one threatens them.
But the innocent lovers of God,
because of righteousness,
will have the boldness of a young, ferocious lion!
The source of strife is found in an angry heart,
for sin surrounds the life of a furious man.
Stirring milk makes butter.
Twisting noses makes them bleed.
And stirring up anger makes trouble.
She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat.
