*Good Work Beats Bad Work*
_Key Bible Text:_
*The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.* Proverbs 11:18 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:18 Bad work gets paid with a bad check; good work gets solid pay. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:18 Wicked people do not really gain anything, but if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded. (GNB)
Proverbs 11:18 The sinner gets the payment of deceit; but his reward is certain who puts in the seed of righteousness. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:18 Meanness gets you nowhere, but goodness is rewarded! (CEV)
.....
Life will sometimes make good work look like bad work. You do good and in return you get loads of bad treatment.
Sadly, sometimes, bad treatment comes from those whom we have treated kindly.
The people Jesus preached to, prayed for, did miracles for, and raised their dead, where the same people that cried "CRUCIFY HIM."
GET use to it. Yes. And do good anyways. It worked for Jesus. It will work for you too. Amen!
_MEDITATION:_

*Don't Hurt Yourself*
_Key Bible Text:_
*The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.* Proverbs 11:17 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:17 When you're kind to others, you help yourself; when you're cruel to others, you hurt yourself. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:17 You do yourself a favor when you are kind. If you are cruel, you only hurt yourself. (GNB)
Proverbs 11:17 The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:17 Kindness is rewarded-- but if you are cruel, you hurt yourself! (CEV)
Showing kindness to others have a way of coming back to you.
Yes, sometimes some people will take you for granted. Be careful not to allow the negative experience stop you from being kind.
God is committed to blessing those who obey him. Being kind is not what you do for others because of them but because of GOD'S WORD!
_MEDITATION:_
*"BE KIND ALWAYS- even when some people take you for granted!"*

*Strong Men*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A gracious woman retaineth honour: and STRONG MEN RETAIN RICHES.* Proverbs 11:16 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:16 ..., BUT MEN OF ROUGH VIOLENCE GRAB FOR LOOT. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:16 .... LAZY PEOPLE WILL NEVER HAVE MONEY, BUT AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE WILL GET RICH. (GNB)
Proverbs 11:16 ....: THOSE HATING WORK WILL UNDERGO LOSS, BUT THE STRONG KEEP THEIR WEALTH. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:16 ...., BUT A MAN MUST WORK HARD TO GET RICH! (CEV)
We are not talking about men of rough violence. 😏
"Aggressive people will get rich" stands out for me! Wow!
Indeed money making requires aggressiveness. I have seen rich people pressing and pushing to get or make more money like they can't do without what is coming. Meanwhile, they already have a lot-- but it is never enough!
Another point that stands out is THOSE HATING WORK WILL UNDERGO LOSS. Losses are the lot of work haters.

*A Gracious Woman*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. Proverbs 11:16 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:16 A woman of gentle grace gets respect, but men of rough violence grab for loot. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:16 A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:16 A gracious woman will be respected, but a man must work hard to get rich! (CEV)
What does a gracious woman look like?
She is gentle, respectful, wise, teachable, humble, forgiving, hardworking, and a goal getter.
Think of Abigail, whose husband Nabal was a direct opposite. Think of Esther. Think of Ruth. Think of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Think of Priscilla, the one of the first female preachers in early church history along with her husband.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Become a woman full of grsce!"*

*There Is Safety* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.* Proverbs 11:15 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:15 Whoever makes deals with strangers is sure to get burned; if you keep a cool head, you'll avoid rash bargains. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:15 He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:15 It's a dangerous thing to guarantee payment for someone's debts. Don't do it! (CEV)
Being cautious and safety sensitive is needful. In a world of many ills and wicked hearts and acts, it is your responsibility to limit how much exposures you already have to deal with.
Proverbs 11:15 counsels us to avoid making ourselves responsible for strangers. Don't be too quick to commit yourself to bail out people. Instead find out what they have done and how best to advice or help without guaranteeing them.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Safety is also in avoiding or saying "No" to some commitments!"*

*Living For Others* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked* Proverbs 11:11 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:11 When right-living people bless the city, it flourishes; evil talk turns it into a ghost town in no time. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:11 By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:11 When God blesses his people, their city prospers, but deceitful liars can destroy a city. (CEV)
This is a reminder that you Ade blessed to be a blessing. That's the civic duty of the upright. You can't be upright if your blessings does not uplift the people.
God wants us to live such life that others will see our light and glorify his name.
In matters of evil or negative influence, the upright must never dance to the tune of the majority. But in matters of him being a blessing and encouraging what is right, God has made us leaders!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Ephesians 4:28 (KJV) Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."* Don't steal from others but work and make enough money to be a blessing to others! Wow!

*Living For Others*
_Key Bible Text:_
*When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.* Proverbs 11:10 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Proverbs 11:10 When it goes well for good people, the whole town cheers; when it goes badly for bad people, the town celebrates. (The Message)
Proverbs 11:10 When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy. (BBE)
Proverbs 11:11 When God blesses his people, their city prospers, but deceitful liars can destroy a city. (CEV)
When things go well for righteous people or for the upright or for God's people, the whole town cheers.
Think about it!
When the upright is blessed, the people around them are excited because they know it will impact upon them favourably.
The wicked when they are destroyed, people don't really miss them because when they lived, they didn't benefit others much.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The key difference about the upright is that others enjoy or benefit from their lives. As for the wicked, their lives are like thorns in the sides of others. Ensure your life is a blessing to others."*
