Subject: ENCOURAGING MYSELF IN THE LORD (PROVERBIAL ...)

I refuse 2 be deceived by drugs n alcohol; this is wisdom in itself
I will not sin against my own soul
On this day I will find honor in not being argumentative
My stay hungry attitude provokes me 2 not let rain sleet or snow stand in the way of me doin
what I gotta do 2 provide 4 my family
I drawn counsel from the deep waters of God's heart
It is important 2 me that I be a man who is considered faithful in all his affairs
I will walk in my integrity, a blessing 2 my children who learn 2 model said behavior 2 their
children
Keeping my eyes on Jesus helps keep my eyes off of evil
It was not me who purified me from sin or made heart clean, but Jesus. Amen
I will strive 2 stay single eyes n single minded
I will bear righteous fruit as my heart is bathed in righteousness
As I strive 2 see n hear from God the Heavenly vision 4 my life will become clearer n clearer
I AM loving being wide awake n bout the Father's business
I have an industrious spirit that ensures bread will stay on the table in accordance with Matthew
6:33
I will not run scams as a customer or employer
My lips will spit the precious jewels of God's wisdom n knowledge
Because I don't like sins deadly consequences I will strive 2 avoid falling victim 2 sinful impulses
n inclinations
I will let God establish godly purposes in my life through his wonderful counsel, which will lead 2
spiritual success
I will not hand with those with loose lips who run round town gossiping and flattering
I won't curse my mother n or my father
I will honour them like I'm supposed 2 which will cause my light 2 radiate more n more
I AM committed to getting "slow money"
It lasts longer than "fast money" n doesn't come with prison or an early grave attached
I will not repay evil 4 evil
I will patiently wait on God, who is my defense, 2 save me.
I will ever strive 2 not have 1 foot in n 1 foot out
I AM trusting God 2 guide the path of my feet, all the while knowing I may not fully understand Y
he telling me 2 go 2 a certain place or do a certain thing
B4 I make any moves I will count the cost, spiritually 1st n 4most
By not fellowshipping with the wicked I wisely ensure my victory
I will allow God radiant light 2 shine through me
God's mercy n truth preserve me on a daily basis
As a young man I took pride in my strength
Now as an old head I take pride in my grey hairs
I will humbly accept God's discipline knowing it's truly designed 2 help grow me as it relates 2 being a child of God.

Amen
