(Day 27 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
“Mercy and kindness and truth” here in Hebrew is “hesed ve emet” which means grace and truth.
Reminds us of “grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” in John 1.
Decide to live by true grace and not by the Law.
“Write them on the tablet of your heart” - under grace, God has written His laws in our hearts.
We are guided by Him through the desires of our heart.
“My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life [worth living] And tranquility and prosperity [the wholeness of life’s blessings] they will add to you. Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you]; Bind them [securely] around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.” (PROVERBS 3:1-4 AMP)
“Let not chesed and emes forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the luach (tablet) of thine lev;”
(Proverbs 3:3 OJB)
God promises that when you tithe in worship of Him, He will bless your finances.
“Honor the LORD with your wealth And with the first fruits of all your crops (income); Then your barns will be abundantly filled And your vats will overflow with new wine.” (PROVERBS 3:9-10 AMP)
God only disciplines those that He loves. If you’re going through His disciplining, you can rejoice because you are loved by Him.
Treasure His disciplining because it leads to your profit.
“My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the LORD [learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline]; Nor despise His rebuke, For those whom the LORD loves He corrects, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.” (PROVERBS 3:11-12 AMP)
God’s Hesed Wisdom is the most precious thing you can receive in this world.
As Pastor Prince taught in this first sermon of this year:
when you get God’s Hesed wisdom and treasure it, you will be rewarded with long life, riches, honor, pleasure and peace.
“For wisdom’s profit is better than the profit of silver, And her gain is better than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; And nothing you can wish for compares with her [in value]. Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are highways of pleasantness and favor, And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy [blessed, considered fortunate, to be admired] is everyone who holds her tightly.” (PROVERBS 3:14-18 AMP)
Peaceful and restful sleep is a gift from God.
When you read God’s word, there is a relaxing feeling and you may even feel sleepy because it contains God’s power that gives you true rest.
You don’t have to fear anything from the world because God is watching out for you.
“Then you will walk on your way [of life] securely And your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the storm of the wicked when it comes [since you will be blameless]; For the LORD will be your confidence, firm and strong, And will keep your foot from being caught [in a trap].” (PROVERBS 3:23-26 AMP)
The upright are believers who have received the free gift of righteousness from Jesus.
The “private counsel” is the leading of the Holy Spirit in our hearts -
He guides us in all matters of our lives whether big or small.
If you’re a believer, your home is blessed.
Pray for true wisdom and humility: that’s how you obtain grace and honor from God.
“For the devious are repulsive to the LORD; But His private counsel is with the upright [those with spiritual integrity and moral courage]. The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just and righteous. Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance]. The wise will inherit honor and glory, But dishonor and shame is conferred on fools.” (PROVERBS 3:32-35 AMP)
