Day 11, Proverbs Chapter 11

Hi,

For me today. It is 11:2.

I need to reign in pride.

Normally God does that for me.

Following The Bible, do's, is working for God.

I have noticed that. And, especially when I do, a Bible do statement, only because it is there, and not when I want to, nor because I want to, it is later sometimes, that I become prideful.

That form of pride today is in and with me.,

Working for God, which is doing Biblical do's, secretly like a prayer, silently, like a prayer, telling no one, like a prayer, and expecting nothing back ever, also like a prayer sometimes, causes God to be in others, and in other places.

Eventually, I mix up the Good, of God, with me.,

Today, as Good after Good, is happening here and there from just doing the likes of do's, pride reared it's ugly, lieing presence.

I felt and saw this. It is not I.

No one is good, except God. I need to somehow, keep working, while not mixing up God and me.

By the way. In the past, I get time outs. I get them, until I realize, that I am not Good.

I have had many of those time outs.

I saw I am getting one today, but am Told, To change actively, so it's a lowering and reassessing of all I say and do, ELSE, I will get a Real Time Out.

I think I will need The Real One. I am scared.

LOVE,

In reading Proverbs 11, this verse stood out for me:

In reading Proverbs 11, this verse stood out for me:

In reading Proverbs 11, verse 27, stood out for me.

It is actually saying that evil will FIND the wicked. Like evil is actively hunting them down. Evil is a HUNTER.

Reminds me of this verse:

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" ~I Peter 5:8

Also reminds me of this verse that applies to the righteous. What a contrast:

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God." ~Deuteronomy chap 28:2

Profound.

In reading Proverbs 11, this verse stood out for me:

Amen.

This picture is special, as I have an oak tree in a pot that I grew from an acorn, it is beautiful and growing strong...I will think of this verse every time I water it...

A tree with such a bless-ed legacy growing in the grace of God.

Precious. (((hug)))

Proverbs 11:

Reminds me of the treasures that are accumulating in heaven, so much so, that they overflow and spill out on us here below.

Precious.

Lord, that I may win souls for you...

Enjoying reading Proverbs. (Prov.11:12) 'When pride comes,then comes disgrace,but with humility comes wisdom'.

this is very profound, the believer is seen as righteous because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ;
I found this really good website, http://www.biblelineministries.org/articles/basearch.php3?action=full&mainkey=PROVERBS+11:30
quote,
' It wasn't until years later that I understood the meaning of the first part of Proverbs 11:30, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life." The righteous person is the believer who has been given the righteousness of God (II Corinthians 5:21). Romans 3:10 says, "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one." The unbeliever is seen as unrighteous, but the believer is seen as righteous because of what Christ did at Calvary (Romans 4:5). The fruit of the believer is souls. It is a believer reproducing himself. The fruit of a believer would therefore be another believer. Even in the early pages of Genesis, God says that everything would reproduce after its own kind (Genesis 1:11-12).

Proverbs 11:30 says this fruit is "a tree of life." I believe everyone has probably charted his family tree. Most start with Mom and Dad, and above them Grandmom and Granddad, with Aunts and Uncles forming branches and limbs. Everyone in our family genealogy will one-day die. It is really a tree of death. However, when a believer leads someone to Christ they become a son or daughter in a spiritual family. The Apostle Paul recognized the truth that he was a spiritual parent to those that he had lead to Christ. "For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel (I Corinthians 4:15)."

We also beget people through the gospel. If you lead someone to Christ they become your son or daughter in the Lord. If they in turn lead someone to Christ, they become your grandson or granddaughter in the Lord. Christians can become a parent to a whole tree of persons who will live forever.

When I saw the wonderful truth in Proverbs 11:30, I decided that I wanted to have a large spiritual family, a giant tree of life. I wanted the rewards and blessings spoken of in Daniel 12:3. I wanted to be wise in God's sight'. unquote

Dear Father, I would like a really large spiritual family also!

Proverbs 11:

Precious.

Proverbs 11:

This is precious, especially the last part of it.

Father, show us, and help us and teach us how to win souls for Your sake and for Your glory, in Jesus name, amen. (((hug)))

...so true!
14 Without wise leadership, a nation falls;
there is safety in having many advisers.


This is quite topical at the moment don't you think?

Proverbs 11 is full of wisdom.

5 The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.

Proverbs 11:

"When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom." ~Proverbs 11:2
