Today we are reading Proverbs 16. In this proverb we read about how God blesses us when we live in ways that please Him.“All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice. The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:2-3, 7-9, 18, 24 ESV What does God do for you when your ways please Him? When you make plans, where does God fit in? If you want to avoid destruction at God’s hand, what should your attitude be like? Have you ever felt encouraged and inspired by the words someone says about you? How can you be like that for someone else? Who needs a word of encouragement? Pastor Tim
