Reading:<\/font>
\nProverbs 21:1-10<\/font>
\n<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Civil Government: “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will”<\/font><\/b> (1). To change the heart of the king or the president or the prime minister or the dictator, appeal to Jesus Christ, the Sovereign One, the King of Kings.<\/p>\n

Self-Righteousness: “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts”<\/font><\/b> (2). It’s more important to know what God thinks of me than to be certain in what I think of myself.<\/p>\n

Justice: “To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice”<\/font><\/b> (3). The Lord loves the sincere sacrifices of His people. But even more, He loves to see in them the manifestation and reflection of His own justice and even-handedness.<\/p>\n

Diligence vs Get Rich Quick: “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want”<\/font><\/b> (5). In the long run, steady and faithful diligence yields far better results than any speedy path to wealth.<\/p>\n

Getting Ahead by Deceit: “The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and from of them that seek death”<\/font><\/b> (6). Politics, business, relationships — success achieved through deception is empty and fleeting.<\/p>\n

Perceptions of Others: “The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes”<\/font><\/b> (10). Politics, business, relationships — an inability (or an unwillingness) to discover the good in another reflects very poorly on me.<\/p>\n
