Proverbs, Chapter 21

21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of Yahweh as the watercourses: He turns it wherever he will.

21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Yahweh weighs the hearts.

21:3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

21:4 A high look, and a proud heart, [Even] the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by those who seek death.

21:7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.

21:8 The way of him who is laden with guilt is exceedingly crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.

21:9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

21:10 The soul of the wicked desires evil: His fellow man finds no favor in his eyes.

21:11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

21:12 The righteous man considers the house of the wicked, [How] the wicked are overthrown to [their] ruin.

21:13 Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, He also will cry, but will not be heard.

21:14 A gift in secret pacifies anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.

21:15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

21:16 [The] man who wanders out of the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the spirits of the dead.

21:17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man: He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

21:18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the betrayer [comes] in the stead of the upright.

21:19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

21:20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But [a] foolish man swallows it up.

21:21 He who follows after righteousness and kindness Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

21:22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the strength of its confidence.

21:23 Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.

21:24 The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He works in the arrogance of pride.

21:25 The desire of the sluggard kills him; For his hands refuse to labor.

21:26 There is one who covets greedily all the day long; But the righteous gives and does not withhold.

21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is disgusting: How much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

21:28 A false witness will perish; But the man who hears will speak so as to endure.

21:29 A wicked man hardens his face; But as for the upright, he establishes his ways.

21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Yahweh.

21:31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Yahweh.

You who fear the Lord, praise Him. All you offspring of Jacob, glorify Him. And stand in awe of Him. Psalm 22.23   Let us all praise the name of our Lord.  For His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting to those who fear Him.  Prov. 21.3  To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.  Yes Jesus, let us all follow after righteiousness and people will see our good deeds and they will glorify God.
 
For in Him all the fullnes of the Deity dwells in bodily form.  In Him you have been made complete. And He is the head over all rule and authority.  Col. 2.9  Let us rejoice that Jesus is the ruler of all things and even of our own lives.  He will redeem us from all evil and destruction that will come to earth because of sin.  Prov. 21.12a  The righteous man considers the house of the wicked. Let us all pray for all the wicked we find in the streets and every where else we are found.  Pray and fast for the salvation of their souls.  So Jesus will be magnified in them also. 
 
God has a reason for allowing things to happen in our lives. We do not know it yet, but Jesus is on His throne and He will bring all things to pass according to His will. There is no wisdom, nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh. Prov. 21.30 Just trust God for all the real reasons life brings along our path.
 
We know that the Lord our God is holy and pure and serves as our source of perfection and standard of guidance for life.  Then, is he not worthy of our praise, honor and glory because He has shown us better things in life?  Let us start praising Jesus each morning. Just when we get up.  Lift up your voice and say.  I praise you lord Jesus for your wonderful love for me and the whole family of God.  Proverbs 21.10a  The soul of the wicked desires evil.  Continue to pray for all sinners you see on the street.  Some are bad, some are good.  But all need Jesus in their hearts.  Specially the wicked ones who desire evil.  Instead of desiring evil, they should desire to be filled with the precious Holy Spirit to cast out devils that make them do evil.   Please Jesus, save the souls of all sinners we pray ..   Amen
 
Lord Jesus, please calm our heart and souls.  Take away all anxiety, fear, worry and unbelief from the bottor of our hearts and start rising up and see the wonders God has stored for each one of us.  Bless us with your holy presence in our homes, at work and in our churches.  Proverbs 21.17a He who loves pleasure will be a poor man.  Please God, help us not to have pleasure in our lives where we spend our hard earned money on jewelry, liquor, parties, expensive watches and expensive cars and motorcycles.  Let us use that money to support missionaries and the homeless to feed them, clothe them and help all widows we can find.  In Jesus name. Amen
 
Family worship is coming together. Children are being instructed in the word of God and peace starts in our hearts when we bow down in worship and praise with all our family members. Bless our families we pray. Keep them safe and take away all temptations and evil from them. Proverbs 21.31b But victory is from Yahweh. Yes Lord, we have victory in our lives through the precios blood of Jesus. Use our talents for your glory and honor today and forever. Amen
