Proverbs 19:26 “Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.” Fame and fortune are admired by many or there is at least a desire to hang out with those who have gained fame and fortune. That natural human desire is the opposite of every wise person’s desire. Fame and fortune disappear very quickly while God’s knowledge and wisdom last not only a lifetime, but through all eternity. We all make a choice—very temporary or for all eternity. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” Two very strong emotions: 1-Fear 1-Trust. We always have a choice. The correct choice couldn’t be more obvious. So then, why do we choose (at times) fear? Because our human nature steps in and we allow weakness to reign over strength. You and I have to continually pray for Strength–Trust is our Strength 💪 while fear is our weakness. Heavenly Father, always let Your Strength reign in my life!

Proverbs 29:23 “Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.” Pride is owned by a person who actually has nothing else than self-esteem. That type of person is always looking at his own accomplishments and making little of other’s accomplishments– eventually losing the respect he/she craves from others. Therefore, pride will not take too long and downfall results. Humility is the only trait owned by a very strong character.

Proverbs 29:20 “Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.” Listen carefully. Analyze carefully. Look for a calm response. Impetuous behavior will never result in a successful outcome. Always think wisdom. Accept responsibility and remember who you represent. Your life will assume a calm and who doesn’t want that?

Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” This seems like a difficult verse to understand but it expresses a simple very important thought: When God’s Word is ignored chaos and self-pleasure reign supreme and people become lost looking only for pleasure. However, when people are wise and have a relationship with the True God, contentedness and true success are the prize. So, live always searching or live always blessed. Simple choice.
