Bow before the LORD each morning and pray, "Thy will be done." This aligns the heart, tongue, eyes, and thoughts for the day. Without this, we become subject to our own ways and will, unprepared to face the world and its fiery darts.
Proverbs 16:1 KJV The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
Proverbs 16:2 KJV All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Proverbs 16:3 KJV Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Pride prevents a man from humbly bowing before the LORD each day.
Proverbs 16:5 KJV Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Fall on your knees or fall into hell.
Proverbs 16:18 KJV Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
In other words, God did not cease creating what is good in Christ and for His glory, despite knowing that many of His created beings with free will—angels and humankind, that we know of—would rebel against Him.
Proverbs 16:4 KJV The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
The truth and mercy of God are found in Jesus Christ. Without Him, there is no forgiveness (purge) of sins.
Proverbs 16:6 KJV By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
Ephesians 2:4-5 KJV But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
There is no right way outside of Jesus Christ, for He is the Way.
Proverbs 16:25 KJV There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Not all my enemies come to love me, but I have found that many come to respect my consistent faith and trust in the LORD, which seeks to avoid hypocrisy and maintain transparency.
Proverbs 16:7 KJV When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Many who defraud the government for benefits, steal from their employers, or commit other wrongs fail to understand that true peace is found in the righteousness of Christ. Temptation intensifies because so many engage in these acts and boast about them. Trusting God with little is truly a test of faith.
Proverbs 16:8 KJV Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
Proverbs 16:19 KJV Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
The greatest investment I have ever made is in the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of the Word of God. The dividends are priceless!
Proverbs 16:16 KJV How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
Proverbs 16:22 KJV Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
Such is the internet, where people exploit others to build their own platforms, names, and glory, driven by vain ambition to become gods in a virtual world.
Proverbs 16:27 KJV An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
Proverbs 16:28 KJV A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
This is proven in the fight arena alone. A boxer who controls his anger in the ring is a wise and experienced fighter. I have not always been a wise boxer in the ring of life, but I have gained experience over the years.
Proverbs 16:32 KJV He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
There are two Jerusalems depicted by the allegory of Isaac and Ishmael. If you are a citizen of Isaac’s Jerusalem, you are among the free children of promise in Christ. If you are a citizen of Ishmael’s Jerusalem, you are enslaved in the bondage of the children of the devil. I will let you guess which one is America’s greatest ally today.
Galatians 4:22 KJV For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Galatians 4:23 KJV But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Galatians 4:24 KJV Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Galatians 4:26 KJV But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Galatians 4:28 KJV Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
I love those who say that everyone ignores me and that no one takes me seriously, and yet they are the ones who go out of their way to not ignore me and take the Word of God seriously enough to respond to it.
Galatians 4:16 KJV Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Gospilled Minute #161
The children of Belial have not merely vanished. They may frequently change their names, even hijacking holy ones, but they never remain unnoticed for long. 13 | 13 : Certain men | children of Belial : Some consider Judas as the 13th man at the table of the Last Supper.
Deuteronomy 13:13 KJV Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
I am waiting for Christian (Antichrist) Zionists to call God an antisemite in support of their greatest ally.
Jeremiah 5:9 KJV Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:11 KJV For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
It somewhat sounds like the American secret rapture dispensationalists who believe they're exempt from going through tribulation.
Jeremiah 5:12 KJV They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
I wonder who these people are?
Jeremiah 5:26 KJV For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
A clue perhaps?
Jeremiah 5:27 KJV As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
America, take note, because your greatest ally won't be able to help when the day comes. Only Satan could deceive 'Christians' into calling him their greatest ally.
Jeremiah 5:29 KJV Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Father, help us control anger and not sin against You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
