*DAILY DEW 16/AUGUST/2024* *Without Discretion* _Key Bible Text:_ *As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.* Proverbs 11:22 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:22 Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful face on an empty head. (The Message) Proverbs 11:22 Beauty in a woman without good judgment is like a gold ring in a pig's snout. (GNB) Proverbs 11:22 Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense. (BBE) Proverbs 11:22 A beautiful woman who acts foolishly is like a gold ring on the snout of a pig. (CEV) ..... The point is, beauty without sense is dirty and an anticlimax. It is a strategic minus. It is not a place to be. Luckily, unlike beauty, sense can be built or developed. Beauty is primarily a fact of nature but being sensible or wise is a function of nurture. _MEDITATION:_ *"When you make the development of discretion your goal, you become even more beautiful or handsome."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 15/AUGUST/2024* *Shun Wickedness* _Key Bible Text:_ *Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.* Proverbs 11:21 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:21 Count on this: The wicked won't get off scot-free, and God's loyal people will triumph. (The Message) Proverbs 11:21 You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the righteous will escape. (GNB) Proverbs 11:21 Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe. (BBE) Proverbs 11:21 You can be sure of this: All crooks will be punished, but God's people won't. (CEV) ..... We are quick to excuse ourselves as not being wicked. Assuming that we are correct, the question is, do we know what God considers as wickenedss? Do we know how God deals with wicked acts? Do we know what God thinks about the things we dismiss as non-wickedness? I think this calls for introspection so we don't run foul of God's expectations in this regards. _MEDITATION:_ *"If you take pride in wickedness, remember that God will not excuse you- your punishment will catch up with you if you don't repent."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 14/AUGUST/2024* *Good Work Beats Bad Work* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.* Proverbs 11:20 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:20 GOD can't stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity. (The Message) Proverbs 11:20 The LORD hates evil-minded people, but loves those who do right. (GNB) Proverbs 11:20 The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight. (BBE) Proverbs 11:20 The LORD hates sneaky people, but he likes everyone who lives right! (CEV) ..... GOD hates evil minded people! You will never get the best of God being evil. On the reverse, God takes delight in those who live right! Make a conscious decision to do what is right. That's how to be a friend of God! _MEDITATION:_ *"In a world where people repay good with evil, God is bent on taking delight in those who do good nonetheless"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 13/AUGUST/2024* *Good Work Beats Bad Work* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.* Proverbs 11:19 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:19 Take your stand with God's loyal community and live, or chase after phantoms of evil and die. (The Message) Proverbs 11:19 Anyone who is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die. (GNB) Proverbs 11:19 So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself. (BBE) Proverbs 11:19 Always do the right thing, and you will live; keep on doing wrong, and you will die! (CEV) ..... Good works or righteousness brings in life but bad works brings in death and destruction. At the end of the day, God himself rewards good works. So keep being good. It pays both on the long run and sooner than you think. _MEDITATION:_ *"The devil tricks us to think that righteousness doesn't pay. Don't buy that lie"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 12/AUGUST/2024* *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:_ *"Good works pay better than bad works. Let nothing tell you otherwise!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
