These proverbs stood out to me today....
Proverbs 19:3 A person’s own foolishness leads him astray, yet his heart rages against the Lord.We'll blame anyone, even God Himself, for our foolish mistakes. Taking responsibility for our own sin is necessary before coming to a place of repentance.
Proverbs 19:17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and he will give a reward to the lender.
What a beautiful picture!
Proverbs 19:20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that you may be wise later in life.
We are most wise when we realize how much we still have to learn. But we must be sure to listen to wise and biblical council - so choose your counsellors/friends wisely!

Proverb 19:22 What is desirable in a person is his fidelity; better to be a poor person than a liar.
It is so important to be known as a man/woman who speaks the truth. Obviously, the only way to do that, is to speak the truth (in love).... always, no matter the cost to ourselves.
Proverbs 20:11 Even a young man is known by his actions—by whether his behavior is pure and upright.It is so important to be known as a man/woman who speaks the truth. Obviously, the only way to do that, is to speak the truth (in love).... always, no matter the cost to ourselves.
We can expect great things from our young people. More often than not they will rise or fall to our expectations. Let's expect them to choose rightly!
This. is. hard.
I think I'll stop there for today :)

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. - Proverbs 19:21
How true. We can think we're in control, but we're not. For it's the Lords purpose that will always prevail.
