Proverbs 9:6 KJV — Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Once you get it, go for it.
Don’t wait for consensus.
Walk in the ligh of understanding.
Proverbs 8:21 KJV — That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Let your wealth and riches be the consequence or your pursuit of wisdom.
When you don’t know where to start, start by seeking wisdom. Start by spending time in the Word of God.
The wisdom you receive will cause you to inherit what you’ve been striving for, and also equip you to keep it.
Proverbs 7:3 KJV — Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
Stay keen in the Word. Be well practised in the Word. Keep it at your fingertips. Write it in your heart. Let the Word be your reflex action.
Keep the Word at your fingertips, and not tucked away in your Bible gathering dust on a shelf.
Proverbs 6:5 KJV — Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
You were created to fly free in the sky. You were not created to be trapped on the earth. Your wings were made for flying, soaring, riding thermals like an Eagle, flitting through branches like a sparrow.
You were created to be free as a bird.
Break free.
You don’t need to wait. You’ve got everything you need to break free right now.
Don’t get pretty with it. Don’t try to be dignified with it.
Escape isn’t dignified, but freedom is worth it.
Proverbs 5:15 KJV — Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Use a bucket.
The bucket is joy.
“…with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.”
Look for the joy in this moment. Look for what you can rejoice in. Look for what draws on the joy that is inside your spirit.
That’s what you use to draw out what you need from each person and each moment and each opportunity and each obstacle.
If you’re dying of thirst in a desert situation, look for the joy that you can set before you.
Joy is your bucket.
Proverbs 4:23 KJV — Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
What’s your culture?
What’s the culture of your heart?
What thoughts and ideas is it nurturing?
What words are watering and feeding your mind, will and emotions?
What fence posts, guard rails, weed killer and pest deterrents are in place around your heart?
It’s not about the issues on the outside. It’s about the culture of your heart that produced them.
Psalm 112:3 KJV — Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
…because Jesus loves me and lives in me.
That’s the power and consequence of receiving the Gospel. (Romans 10:9-10)
Proverbs 2:4 KJV — If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
It’s not hidden from you, but it’s hidden for you.
It’s hidden for those who will bother to come and find her.
Treasure rewards the intentional.
Proverbs 1:29 KJV — For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
God wants you to intimately experience everything that Jesus paid for you to have. He doesn’t want you to just be aware of it. He wants you to experience it more than you do.
But you have to pursue it.
Intimacy is neither accidental nor automatic.
If you will choose to hunger for the experience of what God’s Word says, then you will be satisfied.
Don’t settle for the snack of Information.
Insist on having the entire wedding feast that God wants you to enjoy right now.
Proverbs 31:3 KJV — Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
You’ve got ways that you use to travel through this moment of time and physical space.
You’ve got ways, habits, that travel across the entity of time and space called you.
Some of these creatures are assassins seeking to destroy Kings.
Do not let them pass on the King’s Highway which is your time and physical use of space.
Deny them access. Say “No!”.
Nobody else will do this for you.
Denying access to that which destroys Kings is part of your job description as a human being who is now a royal priest in Jesus.
