*Your Tears Move God*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."
Psalms 34:17 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Your tears matters to God. Why do some say "God is not moved by your tears!"?
God feels for us when we come to him genuinely heart wrenched and broken and all tears!
Don't allow any naysayers convince you otherwise. The God who gave us the emotion cannot ignore the emotion when it is rightly used.
Yes! What God is after is your heart that is truly contrite and broken. Your tears do not move God if (and the only if I can think of) you are only pretending to be teary because he knows when it is all show and no go!
When you are truly and deeply in tears and for the right reasons, God sees it and takes note. If you are already in His will, note that you can't use them tears to change them.
Maybe men may fall but blackmail God to do your bidden cannot be possible.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The compassionate Jesus we know, will always be moved by godly sorrow or tears of genuine feeling*

*A Virtuous Woman*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.* Proverbs 12:4 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
*A helpful wife is a jewel for her husband, but a shameless wife will make his bones rot.* Proverbs 12:4 (CEV)
*"A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones."* Proverbs 12:4 (BBE)
.
Marriage is a case of "as you make your bed, so you lie on it." And the bed making begins long before the marriage is made.
If you don't take time, to build character, good sense, virtues, and patience long before you speak of marriage, you will have more work to do than is necessary in the marriage.
Granted! This sort of bed making, is not limited to the female gender. However, today's focus from the passage before us is on the woman/wife.
And quite frankly, the wife's role is so critical. She comes with so much uniqueness. Same is true for the husband to be. Each partner must gather sense, character and virtue while still single.
If you don't start early to make your bed, you will lie on it rough or have to do unnessary serious work trying to get it right when it is already late.
_MEDITATION:_
*"A Beautiful home or lovely marital life is the fruit or result of a carefully planned & prepared singlehood."*

*Sharp practices will never win*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.* Proverbs 12:3 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
*No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.* Proverbs 12:3 (BBE)
*"Sin cannot offer security! But if you live right, you will be as secure as a tree with deep roots."* Proverbs 12:3 (CEV)
.
Sin cannot offer security. Wickedness cannot be better than righteousness. Short cuts cannot lead you to great heights of success.
In a more relatable expression, academic excellence achieved through hard work and diligence surpasses any success gained through examination malpractice.
Business boom achieved by shortcuts, corruption, deceits and unfair practices cannot compare with business breakthrough achieved through consistent good ethics and hard work.
Career success achieved through compromise and unhealthy relationships or corrupt connections cannot equate or surpass career success achieved through competence and diligence.
These few examples conveys the message. God's ways will not tolerate or accommodate the "anyhowness" of this generation.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Convince yourself, settle it in your heart, that it pays to do life God's way."*

*The God that condems*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.* Proverbs 12:2 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
*"A good man has grace in the eyes of the Lord; but the man of evil designs gets punishment from him."* (Proverbs 12:2 (BBE))
It is high time that this generation is reminded that the God of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness is also the God that is a consuming fire and the God that condemns the consistently unrepentant.
A good man finds grace in the eyes of God but a man of evil designs, that is, evil inventions and actions will receive condemnation.
Be rest assured that "Daddy wey dey pamper" is sin intolerant and sin sensitive.
Be sure that he does not look away when men continue in wickedness and unrepentance.
God will not turn a blind eye to this generation's sins, which are worse than those of Sodom and Gomorrah, simply because they have experienced His grace. God will do no such thing but will surely bring judgment on a repentant nation, generation and people.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Make a personal decision to not live in a way that risks receiving the judgment of God in the end."*

*Love Instructions*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.* Proverbs 12:1 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
*"A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast."* (Proverbs 12:1 (BBE))
Love instructions. Love training. Love teachings. Love knowledge. Love the discipline that comes with learning and application. That is the way to the top and high places both on earth and in heaven.
2 Peter 1:2 (KJV) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2 Peter 1:3 (KJV) 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:
How much do you invest in knowledge?
What knowledge have you gathered so far this year?
What trainings or skills or certifications and "sabifications" have you intentionally invested in? If you fail to grow in knowledge, you are not different from a beast, an animal.

*"May December 2024 not meet you at the same level of knowledge that you had as at January 2024."*

*The Wise & The Fool*
_Key Bible Text:_
*... the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.* Proverbs 11:29-30 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
*" ... the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men--he gathers and receives them for eternity]."* (Proverbs 11:29-30 Amplified Bible)
The wise. They rule over foolish. The fool. He serves the wise. That's easy to say. But who is wise and how are they to be identified? A lot of things can show a wise person.
A wise person when rebuked, takes correction, amends their ways and gets better. A foolish person hates to be corrected. They stubbornly remain unchanged and undisturbed even when their lives aren't going right.
But another way to know a wise person is that, they are bent on getting it right in life with God and helping others get it right with God.
A wise person fears and seeks to know the Lord more. A wise person also seeks to make the Lord known.
A wise person finds ways to bring many to the path of righteousness even as he himself walks on that path!
_MEDITATION:_
*"The goal is to become wiser and make many come to know the Lord even as we know the Lord better daily."*

*DON'T TROUBLE YOUR FAMILY* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it's a stupid way to live.* Proverbs 11:29 (Message)
_Bible Insight_
One can trouble his home by being troublesome, impatient, dishonest, argumentative, unsupportive and difficult to deal with.
When we repeatedly do things that demands to be corrected, and when corrected we refuse to listen or repent, we become a source of trouble to the family.
When we do things that are wrong or offend others or work injustice upon others, we open the family to public reproach. Our ill conduct outside the family, can also be a source of trouble to the family.
Your inability to grow, improve upon yourself, and become a source of hope and help to the members of your family, can become a source of trouble to the family.
Make up your mind to be different! And remember, family also means the place of worship, the church or the place where you work can also become a kind of family. Do you bring peace and progress to your family or trouble and strife?
_MEDITATION:_
*"The goal is to become an asset to your family, whether neclear family, or spiritual family or workspace family."*

*DON'T TROUBLE YOUR FAMILY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.* Proverbs 11:29 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:29 Those who bring trouble on their families will have nothing at the end. Foolish people will always be servants to the wise. (GNB)
Proverbs 11:29 The troubler of his house will have the wind for his heritage, and the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:29 Fools who cause trouble in the family won't inherit a thing. They will end up as slaves of someone with good sense. (CEV)
.....
THE idea of troubling one's family does not sound like something anyone will want to do.
But there are different ways people consciously or unconsciously trouble their families.
One example is comparison. Always bringing your family up in order to talk about it in the light of what you noticed in other families. This when done excessively can bring about discontent and discouragement.
Focus on your family. Mind your family. Learn and appreciate its uniqueness and study to see how to better your lot and not disdain or condemn what is obtainable. Spouses should not compare their partners with others or their ex. And parents should not always compare their children with their siblings or even other children.
_MEDITATION:_
*"There must be a way to bring up positive examples without discountenancing the uniqueness of your family and your family members."*

*RICHES? DON'T TRUST IT*
_Key Bible Text:_
*He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.* Proverbs 11:28 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:28 Those who depend on their wealth will fall like the leaves of autumn, but the righteous will prosper like the leaves of summer. (GNB)
Proverbs 11:28 He who puts his faith in wealth will come to nothing; but the upright man will be full of growth like the green leaf. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:28 Trust in your wealth, and you will be a failure, but God's people will prosper like healthy plants.. (CEV)
.....
Certainly, money is a defense and can be put to great and godly uses but you must train your heart towards money.
May you never put faith in money. That is the other definition of loving money. And like the world, we must not love it. So must we not love or trust money!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Proverbs 11:28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. (The Message)."*
