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.

He who tills his land will have plenty. As Christians we should be faithful to God and work for the glory of His name. Those who do not work lack every single thing in life. Work hard even when it hurts. God is please if you do it all for the glory of His name. Our houses should be a places of prayer and fasting. If you die then all your possesions should be used as houses of worship and prayer. All our hard work should prove that we were faithful to God and give back to Him all He has given us. Thank you Jesus for all you have give us in this life. You gave us strenght to work and have the things we have now. Thank you so much. We are certainly so grateful to you and praise your holy name. May all our possesions and belongins will be turned back to you because you are the real owner. In Jesus name. Amen

Whoever loves correction loves knowledge. No one loves correction at all. When we loose our jobs, or our health is down the drain even our marriages are on the brink of failing. All trials and tribulations on this earth proves that God is in control. He made us in His own image and we are His dear children who need to be corrected. May be we did not feed the hungry or clothe the naked nor visited the sick in the hospitals. Something we did not do and God is trying to tell us something when He send trouble in our life. Some of us love money too much and indulge ourselves in a lot of worldly pleasures rather in serving God. Dear Jesus, we want to be faithful to the end. Forgives us our sins of forgetting your commands and doing the wrong things. Please show us the way to You and to live a life that is pleasing to you. Help us to lead others to Christ and to live a holy life while we wait for your coming to take us home to heaven. In Christ name. Amen

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. How do we use our mouth? 12.14 Are praising God and then cursing others? Dear Lord shows your ways to be and act in this world. If you start your day in prayer and suplication to God for a good day and doing good deeds then everything will be OK.for you and all the people that surrounds you. We are the salt of the world and if the salt looses its flavor.. with what truth the unbeliever will come to God?  Dear Jesus ...I have committed many sins in my life. But I come to you humbly and repent of them all. Please forgive me for not using my mouth to preach the gospel, for not telling others about Jesus, and for not thanking you for what we have in our lives. Forgive me Lord. I come to you...who are all good and perfect. All holy and merciful. Create in me Oh lord a clean heart. Please... I believe in you.  I trust in you alone. Come unto me.. please.

Lord guide my thinking and help me to remain humble and thirsty for correction. Amen.

 

[Millicent]

Breathe in me oh Lord my God, your power and mercy.  That all my thought be holy and true. That I may be a true witness for your glory and honor.  Act in me oh Lord my God, so other will see you through me. That all my work and my life be a true offering for your glory and honor. He who utters truth, shows forth righteousness. 12.17  May my mouth utters only true words that comes from you and your righteousness will be shown on the earth. Draw my heart closer to your oh Lord my God, that I may love others just as you love them. Care for them just as you care for them. Strenghten my heart and life so I will be a true soldier of Jesus Christ in this lost world of ours. Where shall I go? And with whom should I run with?  Only You oh Lord are my guide and my deliverer. Rescue me when I am fallen. Guard my life so I will be preserved till you call me home to heaven where I will be with you forever and ever. Amen

We as Christian should live one day a time because if we worry about the future and what it will bring our mind will be so distressed for no reason at all. So, we should enjoy the moment we are living right now. Yesterday is gone forever and there is only a memory of it. Of course there is always a hardship in our way and we take it as a gift from God. So we should turn around and up and look at our home in heaven, with God, in peace and joy everlasting. He who tills the land will have plenty of bread. 12.11 So, let us till our land witnessing others about Jesus, loving our neighbors as ourselves, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and visiting the sick and the infirm. If we till our land with good deeds... then God will be so pleased with us and will bless us with all kinds of blessings that we will not be able to hold it. Trust our heavenly Father that he will make things go right and will keep us from sin. Let us surrender our will to His and everything will be just fine.
