Knowing the word of God

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.  The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.  The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.  A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.  A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.  In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.  The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.  The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.  The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.  Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.  Hell and destruction are before the Lord : how much more then the hearts of the children of men?  A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.  A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.  The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.  All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.  Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.  Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.  A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.  The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.  A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.  Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.  Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.  A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!  The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.  The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.  The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord : but the words of the pure are pleasant words.  He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.  The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.  The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.  The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.  The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.  He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.  The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 15:1‭-‬33 KJV

Dwelling in the presence of the Lord is important for us. It's keeping our minds on the grace of God which wss the promise unto us. All things pertaining to life and godliness. "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (King James Bible, 1769/2017, 2 Peter 1:3). Knowing who grace made us to be let us stand in faith. Grace made us the righteousness of God and will always be enough for us. Grace saved the world from God's wrath which revealed His profound love for us. "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10). I encourage you to focus on the grace of God today which is Christ (the only begotten son). Receive Him in your heart as Lord and Savior today and accept your salvation (eternal life...

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...
