The Soul of the Diligent is Richly Supplied!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those whose soul of the diligent, In Jesus’s name, amen.

According to dictionary.com, the definition of a sluggard is “a person who is habitually inactive or lazy.”

Proverbs 13: 4 (ESV) distinguishes between the sluggard and some others.

“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”

Have you become a sluggard? Do you know of another person who is a sluggard?

God can change a person’s heart.

Pray. Ask God to provide guidance to the sluggards in your life.

If you are one, pray for God to show you what you need to do to change to be more diligent.

The Tongue of the Wise!

The Tongue of the Wise!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the tongue of the wise brings healing. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Listen to Advice!

Listen to Advice!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who listen to advice. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Do you listen to the advice of wise counselors?

I am guilty. I have requested advice, agreed with it, and then delayed taking the advice or followed my own path. Have you ever done that? Have you listened, but even though you got sound advice, you didn’t act?

Proverbs 12:15 has an answer for all advice seekers.

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.”

This verse has a lot to say about who is a fool and who is wise. God can guide us if we will only listen to others, but also ask for God to clarify if the recommended course of action is the right one.

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know an excellent wife is the crown of her husband. In Jesus’ name, amen.

My wife and I are about to celebrate our thirty-third wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed. There are many highlights we experienced during our years of marriage.

Like Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) says,

“An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.”

We have a long list of things to be thankful for.

My wife has been and remains an excellent wife. I have been truly blessed by our relationship. My wife was forty-two when we got married. She was faithful to God while she was single.

She is my crown.

Are you equally blessed? Celebrate your relationship, and make the precious moments count.

If you are struggling, ask for divine guidance.

Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who bring blessing. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Proverbs 11:25 (ESV) is about how God takes care of his own.

”Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.”

It is time to take a fresh look at God’s message in Proverbs. It seems God will take care of those who bring blessings. He will also refresh those who refresh others. Bring blessing and be one who offers water to those who are thirsty. Look for opportunities to bless others and take care of their needs.
