Proverbs 20:24 “A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How can anyone understand his own way?” We all should live our lives with the constant thought—God direct my steps. If any of us actually live the words of the famous song—I did it my way—we will find ourselves living both purposelessly and accomplishing little. If our life instead is lived—I did it His way—not only will we have a successful purpose on this earth, but we will gain the rewards of an eternity of blessing.

Proverbs 20:23 “The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.” God could never accept anything other than honesty and you and I should be the same. Never does lying accomplish anything positive. Though lying is very common, it is the downfall in any relationship–never let it be a part of your life.

Proverbs 20:15 “Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.” Isn’t it a joy when we hear a wealthy celebrity or heroic athlete or successful businessperson profess a Christian faith for all the world to hear? Their faith always outshines their recognized accomplishments. They are appreciative of their earthly blessings and talents, but recognize their true wealth lies in their relationship with their Heavenly Father. They are a rare jewel–as are you.

Proverbs 20:13 “Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.” Everyone has God given talent. To use that talent will result in blessings which produce a life of abundance. Living a life of poverty is not the life God has intended for anyone. God did not create desperation. God created man/women to live a life full of joyful abundance, to be appreciative and to give glory to Him in their (our) daily living. Faithfully using our talents cannot do anything other than living a blessed life. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 20:6 “Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find.” To manipulate is a common trait of a person who is defensive and lacks both honesty and integrity. That person will find himself friendless and broken. Is there hope for such a person? Yes, but his entire mentality must change, and that change is both difficult and rare. However, for that person hope must never be abandoned.

Proverbs 20:1 ” Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led by them is not wise.” Never give yourself the opportunity to not think clearly. Distorted thought is never an asset which can be admired. Addictions, no matter what the addiction, never allow improvement, never allow happiness and never create a benefit. Any recovering or recovered addict will always agree 100%.
