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 142, walking in Darkness!

Psa 142:1-2, …I cry out to the LORD with my voice; With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication. I POUR OUT MY COMPLAINT BEFORE HIM; I DECLARE BEFORE HIM MY TROUBLE.

“Caves make good closets for prayer; their gloom and solitude are helpful to the exercise of devotion. Had David prayed as much in his palace as he did in his cave, he might never have fallen into the act which brought such misery upon his later days.” (Spurgeon)

David brought his complaint to the LORD for HE is his refuge and strength in times of trouble!

Psa 46:1-2, …GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT FEAR…

Psa 142:3, When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, THEN YOU KNEW MY PATH. IN THE WAY IN WHICH I WALK They have secretly set a snare for me. 

There are some troubles in life that seem to cripple us, not knowing where to go or what to do. Yet while were overwhelmed and confused, the LORD isn’t! HE knows what to do and HE can guide you if you let HIM!

Pro 3:5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.

Psa 142:7, BRING MY SOUL OUT OF PRISON, That I may praise Your name; The righteous shall surround me, For You shall deal bountifully with me.” 

David wasn’t in a prison, but his own soul seemed imprisoned by the circumstances; in the same way sin imprisons our souls. Externally they may seem find, but internally there is a darkness that seems normal, and they don’t realize they are walking in darkness!

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.” 

We will have trouble in this world, but those that walk in the light know their GOD, and can see that HE is in full control! HE shall never leave us nor forsake us; for HE is faithful to HIS promises found in scripture! Trust in HIM!

Php 4:6, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Psalm 119:129-144, HIS word is pure!

Pe פ, 129-136

Psa 119:129-130, YOUR TESTIMONIES ARE WONDERFUL; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE.

A name given to the coming MESSIAH, JESUS is WONDERFUL (Isaiah 9:6). For JESUS is wonderful, and HIS word a light to our path!

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.

Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE;

Psa 119:133, DIRECT MY STEPS by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 

HE directs those who trust in HIM and HIS promises! Remember, you can be led away by your feelings, lust, friends, circumstances etc. HE wants to lead us by HIS word JESUS!

Pro 3:5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Tsadde צ,  137-144

Psa 119:137-138, RIGHTEOUS ARE YOU, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are RIGHTEOUS AND VERY FAITHFUL.

HIS way is perfect, and HIS understanding is without fail! HE knows all and sees all! HE is faithful to HIS promises for us found in scripture! Trust in the LORD for HE can’t lie!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

Psa 119:140, YOUR WORD IS VERY PURE; THEREFORE YOUR SERVANT LOVES IT. 

For those that know their GOD, HIS word is pure for HE is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!

1Pe 2:2  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 

Your either guided by the cares of this world or by HIS word? We need to choose; remember HE is faithful and can’t lie! Trust in HIM!

Pro 30:5  Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

2Samuel 23, The light of men! JESUS!

2Sa 23:2, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SPOKE BY ME, AND HIS WORD WAS ON MY TONGUE. 

2Sa 23:3-4, THE GOD OF ISRAEL SAID, THE ROCK OF ISRAEL SPOKE TO ME: ‘HE WHO RULES OVER MEN MUST BE JUST, RULING IN THE FEAR OF GOD. And HE SHALL BE LIKE THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING WHEN THE SUN RISES, A MORNING WITHOUT CLOUDS, LIKE THE TENDER GRASS SPRINGING OUT OF THE EARTH, BY CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN.’

Isa 32:1, BEHOLD, A KING WILL REIGN IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PRINCES WILL RULE WITH JUSTICE. 

2Sa 23:5, “ALTHOUGH MY HOUSE IS NOT SO WITH GOD, YET HE HAS MADE WITH ME AN EVERLASTING COVENANT, Ordered in all things and secure. FOR THIS IS ALL MY SALVATION AND ALL MY DESIRE; WILL HE NOT MAKE IT INCREASE?

David knew that his house fell short of being this type of ruler, yet out of David will come One who will rule in righteousness! JESUS!

Isa 60:3, The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 

Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. 

JESUS IS OUR BLESSED HOPE, OUR MORNING STAR, OUR REDEEMER OUR GUIDING LIGHT! FOR WE FOLLOW HIM FOR HE IS THE WAY TO THE FATHER! AND, HE SHALL BE KING OF ALL THE EARTH, Zechariah 14:9! HE IS COMING!

2Samuel 21, The Lamp of GOD!

2Sa 21:15, When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; AND DAVID GREW FAINT.

David was a man of war, yet even the best men grow old!

Psa 73:26, MY FLESH AND MY HEART FAIL; BUT GOD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER.

2Sa 21:16-17, Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, … THOUGHT HE COULD KILL DAVID. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “YOU SHALL GO OUT NO MORE WITH US TO BATTLE, LEST YOU QUENCH THE LAMP OF ISRAEL.”

Psa 132:17, There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. 

Psa 18:28, FOR YOU WILL LIGHT MY LAMP; THE LORD MY GOD WILL ENLIGHTEN MY DARKNESS. 

DAVID WAS GETTING OLD AND HE ALMOST DIED IN BATTLE! HE WAS ISRAEL’S LIGHT BUT, THE TRUE LIGHT IS THE ONE GUIDING DAVID! JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD WHO WILL NEVER DIE! FOR HE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE KING OF kings and LORD of lords! JESUS SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH (ZEC 14:9)!

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.”
