Knowing the word of God

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.  The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.  It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.  The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.  Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.  Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?  The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.  A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.  Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?  Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord .  Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.  The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.  Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.  It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.  There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.  Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.  Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.  Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.  He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.  Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.  An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.  Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord , and he shall save thee.  Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord ; and a false balance is not good.  Man's goings are of the Lord ; how can a man then understand his own way?  It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.  A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.  The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord , searching all the inward parts of the belly.  Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.  The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.  The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
Proverbs 20:1‭-‬30 KJV

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...

Jesus the Lord thy God; where would we be without saving grace? Grace is the reason why we are here, God's unmerited favor of love that has no end. Do you believe that God's promises will come true? Do you believe that he loves you? Do you want to know him as you should? Grace is the reason why we have the opportunity to live in God. Lets' rest in this truth; what Jesus did on the cross made us free from the bondage of the flesh. He was crucified in the flesh to justify the sinner through his spirit. (He died in the flesh and rose in the spirit). "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" (1 Peter 3:18). If you would love to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this prayer. Jesus, I thank you for taking my place on the cross. I believe in the finished works of the cross and I accept you in my heart today as my Lord and Savior.

The goodness of God gave us life and hope. Where would we be without the goodness of God? His goodness place us before him; he took no thought for his life when he laid it done to death for us. "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). The goodness of our God is the only reason we are here on this day; his unmerited favor of love towards us was before we entered this 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:" (Ephesians 1:4). God's goodness will never run out, it is everlasting as he is. Let's focus on his goodness always and give thanks.
