Isaiah 19, Wait and see, for it will surely come to pass!

Isa 19:1-2, The burden against Egypt. BEHOLD, THE LORD RIDES ON A SWIFT CLOUD, AND WILL COME INTO EGYPT; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

As the LORD struck the land of Egypt with the 10 plagues, HE will strike them again!

Isa 19:3-4, The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a CRUEL MASTER, And A FIERCE KING WILL RULE OVER THEM,” Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Often the LORD strikes a nation by destroying their wise counsel and by giving a bad leader! This looks like the United States today!

Isa 19:14-15, The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt TO ERR IN ALL HER WORK, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit. NEITHER WILL THERE BE ANY WORK FOR EGYPT…

Egypt’s economy will be completely crushed, and the fear of the LORD will come upon them!

Isa 19:20b, …for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and HE WILL SEND THEM A SAVIOR AND A MIGHTY ONE, AND HE WILL DELIVER THEM. 

Egypt, currently a Islamic country, will come to know the LORD!

Isa 19:21, THEN THE LORD WILL BE KNOWN TO EGYPT, AND THE EGYPTIANS WILL KNOW THE LORD IN THAT DAY, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it. 

NOT ONLY EGYPT, BUT ALSO ASSYRIA!

Isa 19:24-25, IN THAT DAY ISRAEL WILL BE ONE OF THREE WITH EGYPT AND ASSYRIA—A BLESSING IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND, WHOM THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL BLESS, SAYING, “BLESSED IS EGYPT MY PEOPLE, AND ASSYRIA THE WORK OF MY HANDS, AND ISRAEL MY INHERITANCE.”

This may seem impossible today, but wait, just wait; for it will surely take place! HE KNOWS THE END FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!

Hab 2:3, FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME; BUT AT THE END IT WILL SPEAK, AND IT WILL NOT LIE. THOUGH IT TARRIES, WAIT FOR IT; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY.

Isaiah 10, GOD can use anyone!

Isa 10:3, WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE DAY OF PUNISHMENT, AND IN THE DESOLATION WHICH WILL COME FROM AFAR? TO WHOM WILL YOU FLEE FOR HELP? AND WHERE WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR GLORY? 

GOD CAN USE ANYONE even a wicked nation, Assyria, to bring judgement on HIS own people. WHAT WILL YOU DO? WHO WILL HELP YOU? This are HIS people, but Israel refuses to listen; Judgement is coming, Hab 1:5-11

Hab 1:5-6, “Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you. FOR INDEED I AM RAISING UP THE CHALDEANS, A BITTER AND HASTY NATION ….

Isa 10:4, WITHOUT ME THEY SHALL BOW DOWN AMONG THE PRISONERS, And they shall fall among the slain….

They forsook the LORD who protected them, Now they will be brought low!

Lev 26:17, I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. 

Isa 10:5-6, “WOE TO ASSYRIA, THE ROD OF MY ANGER AND THE STAFF IN WHOSE HAND IS MY INDIGNATION.

Again, GOD can use anyone to do HIS will! But, Assyria came up in pride conquering nations and making their princes into kings

Isa 10:8, For he says, ‘ARE NOT MY PRINCES ALTOGETHER KINGS? 

2Ki 19:10-12, … ‘DO NOT LET YOUR GOD IN WHOM YOU TRUST DECEIVE YOU, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” LOOK! YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT THE KINGS OF ASSYRIA HAVE DONE TO ALL LANDS BY UTTERLY DESTROYING THEM; and shall you be delivered? HAVE THE GODS OF THE NATIONS DELIVERED THOSE WHOM MY FATHERS HAVE DESTROYED…

Pro 16:18, Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 

Isa 10:15, SHALL THE AX BOAST ITSELF AGAINST HIM WHO CHOPS WITH IT? Or shall THE SAW EXALT ITSELF AGAINST HIM WHO SAWS WITH IT? AS IF A ROD COULD WIELD ITSELF AGAINST THOSE WHO LIFT IT UP, OR AS IF A STAFF COULD LIFT UP, AS IF IT WERE NOT WOOD! 

if GOD uses you, do not boast or brag, but remember, GOD used a donkey to speak to balaam and HE can use you as well!

1Co 1:27, But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

Proverbs 30, Do you know HIS name?

Proverb 30 is not associated with Solomon, these are the words of Agur who is not mentioned in any other part of scripture!

Pro 30:2-3, Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

It takes humility to know GOD, Agur compared himself to a beast in his knowledge of GOD! What he knows about GOD is very minimal; not just for him but for All of us! As Job has said, “THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS”

Job 26:14, INDEED THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM! BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?” 

Pro 30:4, WHO HAS ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, OR DESCENDED? WHO HAS GATHERED THE WIND IN HIS FISTS? WHO HAS BOUND THE WATERS IN A GARMENT? WHO HAS ESTABLISHED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW? 

The only answer for these five questions is GOD HIMSELF! For HE is the only ONE capable of doing this! But the last question shows that this humble man knew that GOD has a SON; “WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW”?  DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME? HIS NAME IS JESUS, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD!

Isa 9:6, FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN; AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER. AND HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.

Pro 30:7-8, TWO THINGS I REQUEST OF YOU (DEPRIVE ME NOT BEFORE I DIE): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;

Agur just wanted two things from the LORD while he lived on the earth! He didn’t want any lies in his life; he just wanted to know the truth. Also, he didn’t want riches nor poverty.

Pro 30:9, LEST I BE FULL AND DENY YOU, AND SAY, “WHO IS THE LORD?” OR LEST I BE POOR AND STEAL, AND PROFANE THE NAME OF MY GOD. 

People with great wealth are often dependent on it, but wealth can never protect you from death! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM THE LORD? Remember when GOD asked Solomon this question (1Kings 3:1-15)! Solomon replied

1Ki 3:9, THEREFORE GIVE TO YOUR SERVANT AN UNDERSTANDING HEART TO JUDGE YOUR PEOPLE, THAT I MAY DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. FOR WHO IS ABLE TO JUDGE THIS GREAT PEOPLE OF YOURS?”

Proverbs 29, Be doers of the Word!

Pro 29:2, When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan

This is where we are at as a nation; the wicked are ruling. Today I read that judges have sided with the Biden admin forcing Christian colleges to allow men to take showers with the ladies? ALL THEY WANT IS TO PERVERT THE MINDS OF THE YOUNG AND VULNERABLE!

Deu 16:18-19, “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. YOU SHALL NOT PERVERT JUSTICE; YOU SHALL NOT SHOW PARTIALITY, NOR TAKE A BRIBE, FOR A BRIBE BLINDS THE EYES OF THE WISE AND TWISTS THE WORDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

Pro 29:7, The righteous considers the cause of the poor, BUT THE WICKED DOES NOT UNDERSTAND SUCH KNOWLEDGE.

The righteous man understands that he lends to the LORD when he is generous to the poor. But a wicked man can’t see how giving to the poor would benefit anything?

Psa 41:1, …BLESSED IS HE WHO CONSIDERS THE POOR; THE LORD WILL DELIVER HIM IN TIME OF TROUBLE. 

Pro 29:15, THE ROD AND REBUKE GIVE WISDOM, BUT A CHILD LEFT TO HIMSELF BRINGS SHAME TO HIS MOTHER.

He who disciplines their child loves them enough to correct them. It’s up to the parents to direct their children in the way of righteousness!  For whom the LORD loves HE corrects, Pro 3:12 / Heb 12:6

Pro 22:15, Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. 

Pro 29:18, Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. 

Without guidance from the LORD, people would do what is right in their own eyes! But the word of GOD gives us direction if we do what it says! Knowing and not doing doesn’t benefit anyone!

Jas 1:22, BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES.

Ezr 7:10, FOR EZRA HAD PREPARED HIS HEART TO SEEK THE LAW OF THE LORD, AND TO DO IT, AND TO TEACH STATUTES AND ORDINANCES IN ISRAEL.

Proverbs 28, you did it onto ME, says the LORD!

Pro 28:1, The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. 

One who is wicked is always looking around, and scared at police sirens; for they know they’re guilty and are afraid of getting caught! Bold are the righteous for they have nothing to fear!

Psa 27:1, …THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? 

Pro 28:4, THOSE WHO FORSAKE THE LAW PRAISE THE WICKED, BUT SUCH AS KEEP THE LAW CONTEND WITH THEM. 

Were seeing a lot of this today in our society where lawlessness is praised, and common sense is thrown out the door! This is one of the signs of the end of days!

Mat 24:12, AND BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD. 

Pro 28:13, HE WHO COVERS HIS SINS WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY. 

HE already knows what you have done, confess your sins and turn from them! HE WILL NOT FORGIVE A SIN THAT YOU HAVE NOT ASKED HIM TO FORGIVE!

Psa 32:5, I ACKNOWLEDGED MY SIN TO YOU, AND MY INIQUITY I HAVE NOT HIDDEN. I SAID, “I WILL CONFESS MY TRANSGRESSIONS TO THE LORD,” AND YOU FORGAVE THE INIQUITY OF MY SIN. SELAH 

Pro 28:26, HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS OWN HEART IS A FOOL, BUT WHOEVER WALKS WISELY WILL BE DELIVERED. 

I have heard many say, “DO WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL BE FINE”? 

Jer 17:9, “THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT? 

Pro 28:27, HE WHO GIVES TO THE POOR WILL NOT LACK, BUT HE WHO HIDES HIS EYES WILL HAVE MANY CURSES. 

The LORD sees all and knows all! If you give to the poor your actually giving it to the LORD!

Mat 25:38-40, When did we see YOU a stranger and take YOU in, or naked and clothe YOU? Or when did we see YOU sick, or in prison, and come to YOU?’ And the KING will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, INASMUCH AS YOU DID IT TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, YOU DID IT TO ME.’

Heb 13:16, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO DO GOOD AND TO SHARE, FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES GOD IS WELL PLEASED.

Proverbs 27, Iron sharpens Iron with the word of GOD!

Pro 27:1, Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. 

It’s human nature to think, “there always tomorrow”? But life isn’t guaranteed to any of us, and according to scripture it’s but a vapor!

Jas 4:13-15, Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY. Instead you ought to say, “IF THE LORD WILLS, WE SHALL LIVE AND DO THIS OR THAT.”

Pro 27:6, Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 

A true friend will always tell you the truth even if it hurts. But it takes a wise man to except that truth! Be careful, for the kisses of an enemy conceals hatred!

Mat 26:48-50, Now HIS betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “WHOMEVER I KISS, HE IS THE ONE; SEIZE HIM.” Immediately he went up to JESUS and said, “GREETINGS, RABBI!” AND KISSED HIM. But JESUS said to him, “FRIEND, WHY HAVE YOU COME?” Then they came and laid hands on JESUS and took HIM.

Pro 27:11, My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him who reproaches me. 

It’s always a beautiful thing to see our children walk in the way of wisdom, but a foolish son makes his parents look bad!

3Jn 1:4, I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN TRUTH. 

Pro 27:17, AS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO A MAN SHARPENS THE COUNTENANCE OF HIS FRIEND. 

Iron is sharpened with another piece of iron; when we stand together as the men of the church. We sharpen each other with the word of GOD, the sword!

1Sa 23:16, Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and WENT TO DAVID IN THE WOODS AND STRENGTHENED HIS HAND IN GOD. 

Heb 4:12, FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD…

Wisdom, knowledge, understanding comes from the LORD! Seek HIM always!

Pro 2:6, FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM; FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING;

Proverbs 25, The volume of the book is written of ME!

Pro 25:1, These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied: 

Solomon was the wises man, beside JESUS, to have walked this earth, Yet not all of what he wrote was preserved.  Hezekiah, added other proverbs of Solomon that to this collection.

1Ki 4:30-32, Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men… He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.

Pro 25:2, IT IS THE GLORY OF GOD TO CONCEAL A MATTER, BUT THE GLORY OF KINGS IS TO SEARCH OUT A MATTER. 

GOD conceals a matter, not to keep us from finding out, but that we would search out its secrets! It’s HIS way to draw us closer to HIM! It is said that if we search we can find JESUS in every page in the OLD testament!

Heb 10:7, THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME—IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME—TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’

Rom 11:33, OH, THE DEPTH OF THE RICHES BOTH OF THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD! HOW UNSEARCHABLE ARE HIS JUDGMENTS AND HIS WAYS PAST FINDING OUT!

Pro 25:11-12, A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.

The right word at the right time has the power to heal, strengthen, to guide, and rescue!

Isa 50:4, “THE LORD GOD HAS GIVEN ME THE TONGUE OF THE LEARNED, THAT I SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SPEAK A WORD IN SEASON TO HIM WHO IS WEARY. HE AWAKENS ME MORNING BY MORNING, HE AWAKENS MY EAR TO HEAR AS THE LEARNED. 

Pro 25:25, As cold water to a weary soul, SO IS GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY. 

Hearing good news from a far away family member is great for the heart, Yet the best news comes from the LORD! HE HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS, AND HAS GIVEN US A WAY TO THE FATHER! IT’S A FREE GIFT, TAKE IT IS YOURS IF YOU WANT IT!

Joh 1:12, BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD, TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME: 

Are you HIS? Call out to HIM for HE is waiting on you; for the time is near and the door is about to close!

Proverbs 24, Warning those who are going to the slaughter!

Pro 24:1-2, Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.

There are times when evil men seem to prosper, and many would become envious of their prosperity. Know this, it’s only temporary, there is no future for them and their lives will be put out!

Pro 24:20, FOR THERE WILL BE NO PROSPECT FOR THE EVIL MAN; THE LAMP OF THE WICKED WILL BE PUT OUT. 

Pro 24:3-4, Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

By understanding & wisdom a home is built with the schematics of an architect; it’s the same for the moral values of a home! Building a family in the wisdom and understanding of the LORD is true wisdom; for the foundation of our homes are built on the ROCK!

Mat 7:24-25, “THEREFORE WHOEVER HEARS THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to A WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, FOR IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE ROCK.

Pro 24:11, Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.

There are so many people headed the wrong way, and have no clue what’s awaits them in the end! AS CHRISTIANS WE MUST WARN PEOPLE OF THE COMING JUDGEMENT

Pro 24:12, IF YOU SAY, “SURELY WE DID NOT KNOW THIS,” Does not HE who weighs the hearts consider it? HE who keeps your soul, does HE not know it? And will HE not render to each man according to his deeds?

If, we don’t warn people of the coming judgement then their blood is in our hands! We can’t say, “We didn’t know”; for we know HIS word!

Eze 3:18-19, When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ AND YOU GIVE HIM NO WARNING, NOR SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS LIFE, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; BUT HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND. YET, IF YOU WARN THE WICKED, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; BUT YOU HAVE DELIVERED YOUR SOUL.

Rev 22:12, “AND BEHOLD, I AM COMING QUICKLY, AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.

Proverbs 22, Whom the LORD loves HE chastens!

Pro 22:2, THE RICH AND THE POOR HAVE THIS IN COMMON, THE LORD IS THE MAKER OF THEM ALL. 

People often treat a person of wealth with more dignity and respect than a poor man! GOD has made them both! Never show favoritism to any person, (James 2:2-5)!

Deu 10:17-18, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD OF GODS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE GREAT GOD, MIGHTY AND AWESOME, WHO SHOWS NO PARTIALITY NOR TAKES A BRIBE. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT. 

We, as parents, need to teach our kids the proper path to take in life. Teaching them the word of GOD, and being examples on how to live life! They made depart for a season or two, YET, when they get older and wiser they will return!

Deu 6:7, YOU SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND SHALL TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE UP. 

Pro 22:15, FOOLISHNESS IS BOUND UP IN THE HEART OF A CHILD; THE ROD OF CORRECTION WILL DRIVE IT FAR FROM HIM. 

Our children are beauty in our eyes, but they are little sinners at heart! It’s up to the parent to drive away foolishness with the rod of correction; NOT THE ROD OF ABUSE!

Heb 12:11, Now NO CHASTENING SEEMS TO BE JOYFUL FOR THE PRESENT, BUT PAINFUL; NEVERTHELESS, AFTERWARD IT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT. 

Pro 19:18, CHASTEN YOUR SON WHILE THERE IS HOPE, AND DO NOT SET YOUR HEART ON HIS DESTRUCTION. 

It may not be joyful for the parent or child, but it is a necessary thing to do! Remember, even the LORD disciplines those HE loves!

Heb 12:6, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.”

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.
