#Proverbs 1:5

Counsel and Wisdom Are Like Drawing Refreshment From, Well... a Well!

The Bible says a great deal about counsel. Good counsel involves getting wise advice before making a final decision. “A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel” (Proverbs 1:5, NKJV) “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.” (Proverbs 12:15, NKJV) “Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man…

Proverbs 5:1-2 (NLT). “My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel. Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned.”

Hebrews 5:14 (ESV). “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”

1 Corinthians 12:10 (NLT). “He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit.”

“Why We Need Spiritual Discernment” by In Touch Ministries:

“When faced with a decision that seems to have several good answers, rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance.”

“Things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the mantra of many mystery books and TV shows, but it’s also a wise attitude for life. Many people make decisions based on feelings or judge situations by what appears to be ideal. Thankfully, God has given every believer a spirit of discernment to help us determine what’s best.

Think about how many decisions we must make on a daily basis—choices about family, finances, work. In a perfect world, each decision would have a correct and incorrect choice. In reality, however, what seems right isn’t always best. Some things that are neither wrong nor sinful may still be outside God’s will for us.

Scripture doesn’t contain specific directives about every possible life scenario. Instead, it’s filled with principles laid down by direct teaching or, at times, through stories. As we grow in spiritual maturity, biblical principles coupled with guidance from the Holy Spirit help us make godly judgments. (See 2 Peter 1:3.)

The question isn’t whether a certain choice looks good or feels right, but whether it’s God’s will for that point in our life. A spirit of discernment is essential for living in His will. Many choices that feel appropriate are actually contrary to what the Lord desires. That is why we must evaluate situations from a biblical perspective and ask the Spirit to guide us.”

Feminists, I want to express how I feel when I see all of you (as someone who once held feminist views and disliked men a decade ago, but now that I have gained understanding): Enough with the sabotage!

Exploring Prophets, Faith, and Obedience: A Latter-day Saint Take on Heber C. Kimball and Michelle Grim's Critique

In the rich teachings of Latter-day Saints, the messages from prophets hold profound significance. Heber C. Kimball, in the Journal of Discourses, emphasized the importance of following prophetic guidance as an expression of our faith and obedience. This perspective, however, faces scrutiny from voices like Michelle Grim, who offers a critical view of Kimball’s teachings. In a recent blog post…

The Heart of the Matter is, Your. Heart. Matters.

What goes into your heart matters. What comes out of it matters, too. For people who didn’t have EKG’s, cardiologists, or heart hospitals, the ancient Hebrew people were pretty wise about matters of the heart. Solomon in particular seemed to have a deep understanding of the way the heart functions, and his Book of Proverbs is full of references to it. With all of our technology, do you think we…

1. When you need, God knows:

Philippians 4:19 (NIV). “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

2. When you ask, God listens:

Proverbs 15:29 (ESV). “The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.”

3. When you believe, God works:

2 Kings 20:5 (NIV). “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you.”

4. When you thank, God gives more. Jesus gave thanks and fed the five thousand!

Matthew 14:17-21 (NIV). “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.”

5. Everything comes from God:

James 1:17 (AMP). “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].”

6. And whatever you give, you'll get just as much back, if not more!

Luke 6:38 (CSB). “Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

We serve a good, loving and giving God! Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

My entry: "This is my conviction about modesty." - 29.8.24. - Aressida.

Ever since I read 1 Corinthians 11:3, this verse has resonated with me throughout the week, wherever I go. It feels like a calling, guiding me to understand that veiling and modesty humble me before God.

I now understand why men should not wear head coverings and women should. We live in an inverted world, breaking out of the matrix while standing against the NWO.

This reminds me of Paul's teachings in the Bible.

Paul does not say that a Corinthian woman's hair is sufficient as a covering, and I see many verses that point to the idea of a physical covering.

We are also told to "pray without ceasing" - to pray all day, every day.

In my dreams, God revealed that by wearing a head covering, the demonic attacks would cease. Funny, I have felt compelled to veil or wear head coverings for almost a year now.

With each passing day, I feel more called to wear a head covering all the time because I truly do pray all day, every day, for family, friends, and even strangers in need of prayer. This is why I know this Spiritual warfare is real.

I was led to explore Christian head covering, and discovered that 'modesty' takes on a new meaning. As a Christian woman, I am now learns to wear modest clothing, embracing dresses, skirts, and blouses, paired with scarves or shawls for head coverings. God has blessed me with the conviction to shift from earthly to modest attire, and I am gradually letting go of jeans, pants and braided hairstyle.

I have asked God to help me fully dedicate myself to Him. I am all in.

I am here to strengthen and encourage others as I deepen my convictions and personal growth. I strive to be a holy woman who trusts in God.

When I come to the house of God, I do not want it to be about me.

I’d love to hear more Christian women in the church share their thoughts on modesty and their testimonies of coming to know the Lord.

It is encouraging to see more people around the world choosing to believe in the Bible over modern traditions.

I have a feeling that, in time, every woman on earth will turn towards modesty. Time will tell. I know many people today mistakenly believe that head coverings are exclusive to Muslims or Pagans, which is not true. I am aware of the misconceptions surrounding head coverings.

I encourage you to read 1 Peter 3:3-5, 1 Timothy 2:9-10, 1 Peter 2:11, and Proverbs 31:30. You will see what I mean.

Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for them.

Proverbs 26:12

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

1 Corinthians 1:27

He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.

“Not every one that saith unto Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven."

If You Receive My Words and Treasure Up My Commandments (Proverbs 2:1-5)

Proverbs 2:1-5 ” My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.”
