Proverbs, Chapter 12

12:1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge; But he who hates reproof is brutish.

12:2 The good will obtain favor of Yahweh; But a man of wicked devices he will condemn.

12:3 Man will not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous will not be moved.

12:4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she who brings shame is as rottenness in his bones.

12:5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; [but] the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

12:6 The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood; But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

12:7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not; But the house of the righteous will stand.

12:8 A man will be commended according to his wisdom; But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

12:9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a slave, Than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

12:10 A righteous man regards the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

12:11 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread; But he who follows after vanities is void of understanding.

12:12 The wicked desires the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yields [fruit].

12:13 In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous will come out of trouble.

12:14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of man's hands will come back to him.

12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he who is wise harkens to counsel.

12:16 A fool's vexation is presently known; But a prudent man conceals shame.

12:17 He who utters truth shows forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.

12:18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.

12:19 The lip of truth will be established forever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil; But to the counselors of peace is joy.

12:21 No mischief will happen to the righteous; But the wicked will be filled with evil.

12:22 Lying lips are disgusting to Yahweh; But those who deal truly are his delight.

12:23 [A] prudent man conceals knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

12:24 The hand of the diligent will bear rule; But the slothful will be put under slave labor.

12:25 Heaviness in the heart of a man makes it stoop; But a good word makes it glad.

12:26 The righteous is a guide to his fellow man; But the way of the wicked causes them to err.

12:27 The slothful does not roast what he took in hunting; But the precious riches of man [is] diligence.

12:28 In the way of righteousness is life; And in its well-built road there is no death.

[Galeh]

Every night before I go to sleep, I look up to heaven and think. How far is heaven to get there ourselves?  Jesus love reaches all the universe that we see. Only stars and galaxies are there. Our lord Jesus have created all of them. My heart if full of praise and honor for the wonders of His works. How deep is His love toward us? He opened his arms and said. This wide. As far as the east is from the west He has taken away our iniquities. All of this is because of His love toward us all.  My strenght, my health and all of my life belongs to Him. Open up your heart and give it all back to Him to do His holy will and to serve Him in every possible situation. But the root of the righteous will not be moved. 12.3  May my root be stablished in your heart oh Lord. May my will be in line with whatever you want me to do. To minister to millions, to be a humble servant of God in your church, a door keeper at your gates. Sunday school teacher, counselor. Whatever You want me to do Lord Jesus. I am at your feet. You said to my heart... If you turn to me with your whole heart... certainly I will heal all your pain. Confort all your sorrow. I will be a friend for ever and ever. Amen   What a friend we have in Jesus......

 

[Marsha]

The heart that prays soars high up to God and He hears the pleas of His children. No wonder Jesus told us to pray without ceasing. He himself went outside of towns and away from people to pray alone. Talking to God is one of the sweetest things we cand do in life. It is there we can find a strange and sweet rest for our souls and away from the troubles that life brings. The heart that prays in trusting self surrender to all things of this earth, then finds rest in God because we are only foreigners and strangers on earth. Material possesions we will not take to heaven above. Only our good deeds done in the name of Jesus. Through prayer God breaths His secret to the depts of our souls and we can tell others the truth of the will of God. 12.1 Whoever loves correction, loves knowledge. The correction of the Lord is a blessing to our lives. Because without correction we will wander away from Him. Dear God, may the knowledge of your holy presence teach us how we should live and act in this world. Only through your love and mercy we will find true peace and joy.

No more we doubt Thee, glorious prince of life. Life if nothing without Thee glorious prince of peace. Make us more than conquerors, aid us in our strife. Through thy deathless love. Only Jesus give us the victory in the midst of our problems. Everything changes. Nothing stays the same. We must strive for heaven, our eternal home is waiting for us. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. James 4.8 Let us continually live closer to God because if we go away from Him then trouble will come to our lives. Prov. 12.19 The lip of truth will be established forever. Let us pray for ous pastors to tell us the truth from the Bible. Lots of false teachers are around and they are telling us half truth and lies. Dear God, save the souls fo scammers and thieves. They need God in their hearts. This we pray in Jesus name. Amen

We just love to read all the comments and the prayer requests. It is such a blessing to know that God is inspiring people to draw closer to Him. Pray without ceasing is working very well and we know that God is listening to all prayers. Praise His holy name. Amen

The hand of the diligent will bear rule. Prov. 12.24  Let us all have a dilligent hand to work for God and do His will. Remember Jesus is coming soon to take us home to glory and we must be dilligent working hard for Him. What are we gona tell God when He ask us. What did you do for me when you were on earth?

 

[Lambert]

Preciuos Jesus. Your work makes my day. It is a lamp to my feet and food to my soul. I praise and honor you for letting us read it every day. A righteous man regards the life of his beast. Please take good care of the cats, dogs and parrots. They are Gods creatures and we must take good care of them.
