DAY 26 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 26 I read Proverbs 26 from the New Living Translation and the Message. Fools, foolish behavior, and being lazy! Let's identify these traits so we can avoid them, in ourselves and in others: Honor is not associated with a fool. Honor - The esteem due or paid to worth; high estimation; A testimony of esteem; any expression of respect or of high estimation by words or actions; Dignity; exalted rank or place; distinction; Reputation; good name; Reputation; good name

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!

“It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit—depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].” (Deuteronomy 31:8 AMPC) In 2023 we can be assured that, as believers, God is with us, and He will not abandon us. No matter what is going on in our lives we can have this confidence, God is for me. Through every test we are never

DAY 25 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 25 I read Proverbs 25 in the New Living Translation, Amplified Classic, and the Message. My thoughts on Proverbs 25: Don't have a high opinion of yourself or make yourself out to be more than you are to impress people. Don't praise yourself, leave that to someone else. Be who you are and let your actions, how you carry yourself, speak to who you are. "Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips." (Proverbs 27:2 AMPC) "So

CHOICES AND DECISIONS!

“What delight comes to those who follow God’s ways! They won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. Their pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,” meditating day and night in his true revelation of light.” (Psalm 1:1-2 TPT) As you continue setting goals for 2023 consider your choices, the decisions you make, how you make them. Psalms 1 is a reminder to believers about how to make choices and

Read Proverbs 24 I read Proverbs 24 in the New Living Translation and King James. My thoughts on Proverbs 24: Don't envy sinners, what they have, their success, or what it seems like they are getting away with. Don't desire to be with them they have no future. Stay on your path with God. "Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long." (Proverbs 23:17 AMPC) "Don’t bother your head with braggarts or wish you coul

BUILDING FAITH!

One of the most important goals you can have for 2023 is to develop a stronger, more productive faith life. Everything God does for you, or requires from you, is grounded in faith. What you believe is what will manifest in your life. Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.” (Matthew 9:29 AMPC) The more you hear the Word the stronger your faith will become. "So then fait

DAY 23 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 23 I read Proverbs 23 from the New Living Translation and the King James. My thoughts on Proverbs 23: To really make sense of verse one I had to dig deeper into the meaning of some of the words. This verse reminds us to know who we are interacting with and to diligently consider how to handle them and the circumstances. We must have a plan. Pay attention to who you are interacting with. Eat - lâcham, to feed on; figuratively, to consume; by implication, to battl

I AM WHO GOD SAYS I AM!

Knowing who you are in Christ is the foundation for standing strong in the face of adversity. In your goals for 2023 include the "I Am's" in Christ and walk in them. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) I AM: Created in His image (Genesis 1:27) God’s masterpiece created with purpose to do great works for the Kingdom (Ephesians 2:10) Fearfully and wonderfully made (

Read Proverbs 22 I read Proverbs 22 in the New Living Translation. My thoughts on Proverbs 22: Your reputation, having a good name, is important and more valuable than riches. Do everything you can to protect it. Reputation - Good name; the credit, honor or character which is derived from a favorable public opinion or esteem; With the loss of reputation, a man and especially a woman, loses most of the enjoyments of life (Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary) When you're prudent you f

Read Proverbs 21 I read Proverbs 21 in the New Living Translation, Amplified Classic and Message. My thoughts on Proverbs 21: The kings, the rulers, heart is in God's hands and uses them for His purpose. You see this throughout the Old Testament. Two come to mind, Pharoah and Cyrus. No matter what it looks like God's Word is truth and will come to pass. Sometimes we only see from our perspective and think we are right. The Lord examines the heart seeing the hidden motives, th

Read Proverbs 20 I read Proverbs 20 from the New Living Translation. My thoughts on Proverbs 20: We should not let anything control us. If it impacts your thoughts, words, and actions in a negative way you need to stay away from it. We don't need to participate in every disagreement or argument that comes our way. Sometimes silence is the best response. Sometimes people don't want to understand or listen and there's nothing you can do to change that. "A [self-confident] fool

YOU CAN TRUST GOD'S TIMING!

In 2023 determine to make a quality decision to trust God's timing in everything you do. Your level of obedience will impact God’s timing in your life! Disobedience delays it while obedience contributes to your walking in His timing. Remember the children of Israel in the wilderness. Their disobedience not only delayed their walking in the promise it also caused some to never do so. “All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.” (Job 14:14b KJV) Waiting

THE WISDOM OF GODLY COUNSEL!

As you consider goals for 2023 remember to include how you process life’s challenges. You cannot go to just anyone for insight and direction. Who you are connected to can either catapult you into your destiny or derail you. Godly connections are critical. "Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of sco

My thoughts on Proverbs 18: To have no interest in understanding, and wanting to only air your own opinions is the behavior of fools. Fool - kᵉçîyl, properly, fat, i.e. (figuratively) stupid or silly:—fool(-ish).

SURRENDER LEADS TO DIRECTION!

As you continue to create and evaluate your goals remember to listen to God's voice. When you make goals based on His Word and His counsel then you will have His power to fulfill them. Make sure your goals have a Kingdom focus because only what you do for Christ will last! Let 2023 be the year that you never forget just how much God loves you: Decide to make 2023 the year you surrender totally to God's guidance in every area of your life. “I’ll be a personal guide to them, di

He knows our motives. Trieth - bâchan, to test (especially metals); generally and figuratively, to investigate:—examine, prove, tempt, try (trial) (Strong's H974) Biblical usage of this word gives us a clearer understanding of it's meaning: to examine, scrutinize; to test, prove, try (of gold, p

CHANGING SEASONS!

I was asked a very good question a couple of years ago about friends that’s worth revisiting: Have you ever found that you have friends in your life, but realize that you have outgrown them? If so, how did you deal with that? Maybe you’ve been asked this question also. As you’re looking at 2023 and making goals, know that your relationships are important. I talked about this in my last two posts on Divine Connections. I hope this answer helps you. When common interests change

Sometimes what seems right and appears to be the best way isn't. Holy Spirit wants to guide us and help us avoid pitfalls. "There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death." (Proverbs 14:12 AMPC) God knows what we don't

DIVINE CONNECTIONS – CONCLUSION!

I know I touched on personal relationships, divine connections yesterday. This topic is so important I want to revisit it again today. As you continue setting 2023 goals continue to examine your connections. "Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33 AMPC) "It is God's pleasure to connect you with people who can take you deeper in your relationship with Him,
