Knowing the word of God

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.  He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.  In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.  Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.  Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.  The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.  The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.  The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.  The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.  He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.  The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.  The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.  He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.  Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.  In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.  The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.  A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.  In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.  In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.  A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.  He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.  The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.  Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.  The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
Proverbs 14:1‭-‬35 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.
