Proverbs 21:30 “There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.” There is no shortage of both men and women who live thinking they have a similar authority or maybe even a higher power than the God of the universe. How anyone can assume such reasoning is beyond absurd. Fallible man can never even approach the massive superlative power of our Heavenly Father. We praise our Almighty God.

Proverbs 21:26 “All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.” More is a usual answer to the question–how much $ and benefits do you want along with the # of toys in the garage. Unions, vendors, manufacturers, landowners, almost all individuals answer the question with the same word–more. The other answer to the question is another question–I want to give more to those in need and help where help is appreciated. One answer looks inwardly-to oneself, the other looks outwardly to others. Which category is each of us in? Solomon has advise. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 21:25 “The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.” Solomon, in the Scripture he was inspired to write, always expressed truth in an interesting and thoughtful manner. He didn’t simply say–lazy people live and die poor. He could have, but God wanted you and me to think. What are the carefully written, meaningful words? Craving–sluggard–death–hands–refuse. The explanation gives a perfect description and understanding just like the rest of Scripture.

Proverbs 21:23 “Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.” Without an intentional formation of sounds and the shaping of the tongue words could not be spoken. However, with intentional use of the tongue and sound a person can express thought. Now, using the mouth and tongue, one can speak to their own detriment or can speak to honor God, themselves and/ or their fellow mankind. We choose how we make use of these two instruments. Let’s all be wise in our choices.

Proverbs 21:21 “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.” There is nothing lackadaisical about the word pursue. God’s intended purpose for each of us is to, with all our heart, seek and find Him. We never pursue with an attitude of—oh, well, maybe, I don’t know—rather, we pursue with a 100% success mentality. Conclusion? Pursue God’s intended purpose for your life and reap wonderful rewards.
