PROFITING FROM PROVERBS

“The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth” (Proverbs 10:29-30 KJV).

“The way of the LORD is strength to the upright,” doing things God’s way will strengthen you: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10 KJV). Perhaps the best biblical definition of this is found in the Book of Philippians: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).

Everything we do through Jesus Christ strengthens us. Anything He asks you to do you can do through Him—in fact, that is the only way you can do it.

“. . . but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity,” eternal destruction of Matthew 25.

“The righteous shall never be removed,” that is a solid foundation. A believer may be killed but he can never be removed. We are going to live forever.

“. . . but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth,” Jesus said that it would be “meek” that would inherit the earth. The humble, those that are “yielded to God.” They are going to inherit the earth. Now, the wicked is certainly going to try to take over the world before it’s all over with when they are gathered together under the wicked one, but God will destroy them all in an instant.

Daily Bible study is necessary if we are going to begin our day with the right attitude and the right spiritual diet. Proverbs has 31 chapters, and most months have 31 days, so let's read a chapter of Proverbs a day and see what God might have for us. As the Lord leads, share with us what God has shown you in a special way and by His grace let us build up a devotional repository. Let's keep our knives and forks handy for some daily bread! Ideally, a chapter or two of Proverbs will fit in nicely with a good plan of reading our Bibles through each year.

If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.

Proverbs 26:11 is very apropos for this moment in time:
