Proverbs 20, HE guides our way!

Pro 20:6, MOST MEN WILL PROCLAIM EACH HIS OWN GOODNESS, BUT WHO CAN FIND A FAITHFUL MAN? 

Once, I asked this guy if he was a good person? He responded, “YES, I’m not a drug dealer”! IN ORDER TO RAISE HIMSELF UP HE HAD TO COMPARE HIMSELF TO SOMEONE HE CONSIDERED LOWER THAN HIM! A drug dealer would respond, Yes, I’m not a murderer! BUT, A FAITHFUL MAN DOESN’T NEED TO BOAST, HIS WORKS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!

Gal 6:9, And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 

Pro 20:9, WHO can say, “I HAVE MADE MY HEART CLEAN, I AM PURE FROM MY SIN”? 

Only a fool who is deprived of knowledge can proclaim this; for scripture says that ALL HAVE SIN AND FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY!

1Jn 1:8, IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NO SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 

Pro 20:12, The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The LORD has made them both. 

God made the ear and eye that we may observe and listen! Look around was all you see created by mere chance or by a designer? Wisdom enters from the eye and ear, but are we paying attention?

Psa 19:1-3, The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.

Pro 20:15, There is gold and a multitude of rubies, BUT THE LIPS OF KNOWLEDGE ARE A PRECIOUS JEWEL. 

Gold, and riches are all short-lived, but the knowledge of GOD is true wisdom which leads to eternal life!

Pro 8:11, For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

Pro 20:24, A man’s steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way?

It’s a good thing to have plans and to walk in them, but the LORD guides our walk!

Pro 16:9, A man’s heart plans his way, BUT THE LORD DIRECTS HIS STEPS.

Proverbs 6:20-35, Wisdom will guide your life!

Pro 6:20, MY SON, KEEP YOUR FATHER’S COMMAND, AND DO NOT FORSAKE THE LAW OF YOUR MOTHER.

Loving parents always want the best for their children; they are always teaching and molding! Our heavenly FATHER does the same with HIS word; HE is always teaching, and correcting for HE loves HIS children!

Pro 3:12, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CORRECTS, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. 

Eph 6:1, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 

Pro 6:21-22, BIND THEM CONTINUALLY UPON YOUR HEART; TIE THEM AROUND YOUR NECK. WHEN YOU ROAM, THEY WILL LEAD YOU; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, THEY WILL SPEAK WITH YOU.

Know and meditate on HIS word. Ponder its teachings for they will guide you and protect you in life! These are not just words in a book, but the living power of GOD!

Psa 119:11, Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. 

Pro 6:23, FOR THE COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP, AND THE LAW A LIGHT; REPROOFS OF INSTRUCTION ARE THE WAY OF LIFE, 

BIBLE stands for, “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”! HIS word will lighten the path we take in this dark world!

Joh 8:12, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” 

Pro 6:24-26, TO KEEP YOU FROM THE EVIL WOMAN, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. FOR BY MEANS OF A HARLOT A MAN IS REDUCED TO A CRUST OF BREAD; And an adulteress will Prey Upon His Precious Life.

An immoral woman with her beauty promises so much but can’t deliver on anything. She maybe the vessel in which you lose everything; your family, your wealth, your life! HIS word will guide you in the correct path!

Pro 6:32,34-35, WHOEVER COMMITS ADULTERY WITH A WOMAN LACKS UNDERSTANDING; HE WHO DOES SO DESTROYS HIS OWN SOUL. FOR JEALOUSY IS A HUSBAND’S FURY; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will accept no recompense, NOR WILL HE BE APPEASED THOUGH YOU GIVE MANY GIFTS.

Psalm 23, The SHEPHERD!

Psa 23:1, …THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT. 

In ancient times being called a shepherd was considered to be the lowest of the low. It was an abomination to the Egyptians to be known as a shepherd (Gen 46:34)!

YET, JESUS called himself “THE GOOD SHEPHERD”! The KING OF kings, the CREATOR of the universal willingly took this position because of HIS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE!

Psa 23:2-3, He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Sheep do not lie down when they fear, when they feel anxiety or when they feel hungry! BUT, THE GOOD SHEPHERD PROVIDED EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED!

Isa 40:11, HE WILL FEED HIS FLOCK LIKE A SHEPHERD; HE WILL GATHER THE LAMBS WITH HIS ARM, AND CARRY THEM IN HIS BOSOM, AND GENTLY LEAD THOSE WHO ARE WITH YOUNG. 

Psa 23:4, Yea, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. 

THE GOOD SHEPHERD protected the sheep with HIS rod and guided them with HIS staff! Notice that we, the sheep, are WALKING THOUGH THE VALLEY NOT STAYING IN IT! Also notice it JUST A SHADOW; FOR JESUS TOOK THE STING OF DEATH ONTO HIMSELF!

Joh 10:11, “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. 

Isa 53:6, ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED, EVERY ONE, TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. 

WITHOUT THE SHEPHERD WE ARE LOST IN OUR OWN SINS, LOST IN OUR OWN DEPRAVITY, CONDEMNED TO DEATH! YET WE HEARD HIS VOICE AND BELIEVED IN HIM! WE TOOK SHELTER IN HIM AND ARE DEPENDENT ON HIM FOR EVERYTHING! WE ARE HIS!

Joh 10:27, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME.
