Knowing the word of God

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.  The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.  A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.  By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.  Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.  He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.  He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.  Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.  He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.  The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.  The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.  The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.  Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.  He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.  Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.  For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.  That thy trust may be in the Lord , I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.  Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,  That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?  Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:  For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.  Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:  Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.  Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.  If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?  Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.  Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Proverbs 22:1‭-‬29 KJV

The Lord is worthy and greatly to be praised. In Him, we can put our trust. He is the God of provisions and our help in times of trouble. Let us stand in the faith as Abraham hath done knowing that God is faithful and has the ability to perform it all. Circumstances change but our God never changes. God already knows everything which we will face in this life, we must trust in him and know that all is well. He never took our place on the cross through Christ to leave us in times of difficulties, he took it and redeemed us from everything that was against us. God never fails, He can’t, He is God. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and learn not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct they paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). Pray this prayer of faith: Jesus, thank you for taking my place on the cross. I thank you for loving and forgiving me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior in my heart today. Amen.

We are a chosen vessel of God and it was nothing of our doing, he called us before the foundation of the world. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Ephesians 1:4). God chose to bless us in Christ Jesus and gave us a heart to believe. “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me” (Isaiah 43:10). We can’t take no credit for God’s work; it is his grace that made us who we are. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In all that we do, we must remember that God loved us before we were saints. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Roma...

Walking with Jesus I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour in August 2016. When this journey just began, I was not where I needed to be, I was still doing a lot of things that had me being disobedient to God. I didn’t understood much of the bible, I was in a place where I know I needed help, and I felt that going to church would make everything okay right away, I never knew it would have a been a learning process. I was in and out of jobs, I was lonely, unhappy, bitter, confused, a culprit and basically lawless. I was really broken, I needed a strong foundation, a needed love, I needed peace, and I needed to know who I was. At this point of my life, I really wanted to come home. I had no money saved, was living in a house where a shared utilities and bathroom. My Bill’s where paid by the help of family and whatever assignments I would get to do. I was a Certified Nursing Assistant at the time. God knew my heart, he knew I wanted to go home, because it was a desire of...
