Proverbs 16-18 (8th June) - Li Juan

Proverbs 16-18

What does it mean to commit to the Lord whatever you do? What does it mean to have the fear of the Lord? What does it mean to lead a pleasing life? What does it mean to live a righteous life? What does wisdom mean? What does folly mean?

Although there can be so many bombastic vocabularies, analogies and metaphors, when I read through these proverbs the bottom line of it is whether all that you are doing pleases the Lord? It can be through logical reasoning that certain things are not right, it can be a heaviness in the spirit which prompts you, it can be a troubling thought or guilt or something u keep dwelling upon which reminds you that “Yes there is this thing which is not in line with what the scripture says and not pleasing to Him”. Today, come before Him with a heart of obedience and willingness to truly ask the Holy Spirit to lead you, and to go back to the Bible to learn about what is right/wrong to do.

Learn to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to listen to Him speak, learn to not let your conversations with others become gossip sessions, learn to discern what is right and wrong, learn to be humble and most importantly, learn to fear the Lord.
