“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and He delights in his way. Even though he will fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.”
“I have been young and now I am old, yet, I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. God is ever merciful and lends, and His descendants are blessed. Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forever more. For the Lord loves justice and does not forsake His sakes. They are preserved forever.” To God be the glory!
A little that the righteous man has, is better than the riches of the wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. Proverbs 37:16-17
“The Lord know the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied; but the wicked shall perish.”
I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word. Proverbs 119:109
My son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path. For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. Proverbs 1:15-16
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do. Joshua 1:8
How many of us delight ourselves by reading the Bible? I have made it a habit to read my Bible every day, and there is always a verse or Scripture that sustains me. My brothers and sisters in Christ, reading the Bible should not be an obligation, but a delight. For the more we study the word, the more we will understand the way how to act. Scripture reminds us, that, if we are careful to do everything written in the Bible, that we will prosper and succeed in all that we do.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:6
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked, or stand in the way that sinners take, or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law, day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.”
Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. Ephesians 6
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them. Proverbs 20:7
Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad. Following God’s design for discipline and parenting will bring harmony, honor, obedience, respect, and orderliness into your home. Proverbs 29:17
Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6
Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck. Proverbs 1:8-9
Mothers make too many sacrifices for their children, and deserve to be honored and respected.
A mother should never tolerate disrespect from any child at any age. Any woman could bear a child, but it takes a special breed to be mother; who puts the needs of her children ahead of hers. Going without, so that her children could have.
Mothers, our children are watching the way we operate. Be careful of how you treat your mothers, not just on Mother’s Day, but all year round.
My daughter looks at the way I treat my mother, how I look out for my mother, loving her, protecting her, providing for her as she did for me, and now she does the same. What goes around comes around.
