Proverbs 29
Inspired thots
In life, there is always either ONE or the Other. There are choices to make; options to choose from. Characters can be Wicked or Righteous; all have to wait for Judgment Day at God's revelation. How will HE find each?
This is the BEST time to Prepare Self; now is the time to accept reprove and not stiffen the neck; or else one can be broken beyond healing (v1)
Now is the time to exercise restrain from evil; so that one is familiar with the right ways. Strife, wrath, pride, anger, transgressions must be shed off as the time is now available to prepare for the Lord's 2nd coming.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

The Wicked and the Righteous in the Land
Proverbs 28
Inspired thots
I sought the Lord on the GE13 results; this is what I am inspired on.
(v2) How true that 'when a land transgresses, it has many rulers; but with men of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.'
There are always the Wicked and the Righteous in the land. The Lord knows WHO they are. Where there is still time, let the Wicked arouse and turn from their wicked ways before falling into the pit. The Righteous must be patient to walk continuously in his integrity.
(v4) 'Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them.'
This verse is for the rulers and administrators of the land; a prayer of protection and blessing upon those who strive to uphold the law for the benefit of the land; for those who have stepped forward to stand in the GE to govern with integrity.
Thank you Lord for those who are obedient to your call for standing in the gap and for the land.

The Unknown ~ the limited edition of man
Proverbs 27
Inspired thots
There seems to be no victory for many in Malaysia when the same government prevailed in the GE13. There is a lot of disappointment, I am sure.
The first verse says, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth."
How true the Word of God. So much hype and hope over potential victory for a change in the government; yet, it did not happen. Man is truly Limited. No one knows the mind of God although many positive prophecies came about.
Lord, help your people understand You. We are seeking You Lord.

Do Not Be a Fool
Proverbs 26
Inspired thots
One must perform a self evaluation to determine if he or she is a fool or not. There is little hope for a fool. It is like a paradox. If you think you are Wise, you are NOT.
It is really crucial to evaluate oneself very carefully to make sure one is NOT a fool; even if others do not think so, one may be a Fool... in God's eyes.
The Wrong words; the strayed thoughts; the coveted heart... makes the Fool.

Good Relations in Life
Proverbs 25
Inspired thots
Neighbours are public figures closest to an individual. It is wise to establish good relations with them for all matters in all seasons; they may prove helpful in times of need.
Bearing false witness against a neighbour may bring respite as the neighbour sees and hears much more than one can imagine; he may use it against us and cause us to fall instead.
Each should be alert to his life's events less he is overcome by impending trouble. Too much compliments can cause one to grow proud and have the guard let down for trouble to enter.

The End of the Wicked ~ Be Patient
Proverbs 24
Inspired thots
It is by WISDOM that our nation is built; by UNDERSTANDING the Lord's ways it will be established. By KNOWLEDGE, people will come to know the Lord to fill the land which will prosper.
It is the WISE man who is Mightier than a Strong man; a man of KNOWLEDGE on God.
It is by the WISE Guidance of God that war is waged and there is Victory through godly counselors and prayers.
The Lord will help those in His care not to faint in the day of Adversity; May He rescue His own from death; from the wicked one. He weighs the Heart and keep watch over the Soul. You will requite each one according to their work.
There is no need to fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked for their lamp WILL be PUT OUT! Do NOT repay evil for evil for the Lord is our Vindicator!
Amen.

The Father's Anxiety
Proverbs 23
Inspired thots
The world is full of temptations feasting on the wrong desires of the heart. But these desires can be so strong in their temptations that one might just fall into them easily with bad consequences.
This proverb exudes the anxiety of the parent with the constant advice; but how much would fall onto deaf ears and bring ruin? It is the father's role to keep the child on the right path with gentle persuasions and reminders. Hence, it is right to honor parents.
