28
The wicked person fled, though no one was pursuing, but the righteous person can be as confident as a lion. 28:2 When a country is rebellious it has many princes, but by someone who is discerning and knowledgeable order is maintained. 28:3 A poor person who oppresses the weak is like a driving rain without food. 28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them. 28:5 Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it all. 28:6 A poor person who walks in his integrity is better than one who is perverse in his ways even though he is rich. 28:7 The one who keeps the law is a discerning child, but a companion of gluttons brings shame to his parents. 28:8 The one who increases his wealth by increasing interest gathers it for someone who is gracious to the needy. 28:9 The one who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. 28:10 The one who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good. 28:11 A rich person is wise in his own opinion, but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly. 28:12 When the righteous rejoice, great is the glory, but when the wicked rise to power, people are sought out. 28:13 The one who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses them and forsakes them will find mercy. 28:14 Blessed is the one who is always cautious, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into evil. 28:15 Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people. 28:16 The prince who is a great oppressor lacks wisdom, but the one who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. 28:17 The one who is tormented by the murder of another will flee to the pit; let no one support him. 28:18 The one who walks blamelessly will be delivered, but whoever is perverse in his ways will fall at once. 28:19 The one who works his land will be satisfied with food, but whoever chases daydreams will have his fill of poverty. 28:20 A faithful person will have an abundance of blessings, but the one who hastens to gain riches will not go unpunished. 28:21 To show partiality is terrible, for a person will transgress over the smallest piece of bread. 28:22 The stingy person hastens after riches and does not know that poverty will overtake him. 28:23 The one who reproves another will in the end find more favor than the one who flatters with the tongue. 28:24 The one who robs his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys. 28:25 The greedy person stirs up dissension, but the one who trusts in the Lord will prosper. 28:26 The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape. 28:27 The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses. 28:28 When the wicked gain control, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
Proverbs 28

Who can refute the wisdom in this one Proverb! The word of God for me last night. I was convicted and comforted. I thanked him for his forgiveness where I have hurt him and his will for me, also in regards to his family. I thanked him for his patience and provision. I took and take his word to heart.
Thank you brothers and sisters!! Such great information, exhortation and fellowship to share! Look for posts and pages to support you with your walk in this beautiful summer season!
I am working on content that illustrates and meets the life of faith. I am with you in believing, praying and continuing.
Proverbs 28:1-3
The wicked person fled, though no one was pursuing, but the righteous person can be as confident as a lion. 28:2 When a country is rebellious it has many princes, but by someone who is discerning and knowledgeable order is maintained.
These verses were cut off by the opening picture that I will get caught in an administrative nightmare to adjust.
I use an illustration of myself for a softer, easier touch towards you. The avatar captures my heart through its depiction of me. The avatar is created through an app that designs from a picture. The photo I chose is from a visit to Seattle, WA, my hometown.
My heart is what compels my compassion that then, moves me to give as he asks. the heart that is merciful is kind, caring, gentle like God. He offers us explanations, He answers questions,He makes exceptions,He waits. He repeats his ways, keeps his sovereignty no matter what. Why? It’s his. Who among us does not fight for our loves as mere mortals? We are made in his image and it shows.
The heart in God’s command is soft and tender with the green shoot. Out of the Father’s great love– all is. He is a Father for a reason. His wings cover- any season, any reason. His ear is attuned to the righteous, the poor, the grieving and the acceptance of Jesus allows Access. To have prayers answered in his name. To heal the sick and soul thirsty. To shine light. To communicate God’s presence.
Out of Jesus’s sacrifice of life and death, there is reverence and hope in the everlasting because of his resurrection. The Holy Spirit is always working. The way,the truth, the life like a river flowing. God’s word confirms our inner man.
By jesus’s way of providing redemption, it is perfectly just and it allows for battle and growth, refinement. You are corrected in a safe environment of canceled debt with complete understanding of the human plight. leading as the creator submitted to creation in his service to humanity; suffering as one, resisting temptation as God, healing,teaching and responding to frustrations with gentleness and a needed rebuke. Generous with time and miracles. His Family here was really, really human and he endured massive rejection. Because HE is God, He knows what is best in everything and all that is his is everything.
The truth IS Jesus.
It lands in the few for the many and it’s great when we all get on board with the God who is love. The truth about his character and why He deals with evil in the way He does; because He is always loving. To act outside of perfection isn’t possible. Why it is so, is revealed through scripture, appointments, prayer, worship, community, family and nations on earth- traveling with God to HIS destination that is ours.
I thank him so much for helping me to understand the opportunity in vulnerability outside and inside God’s protection. Where it can lead. In his will, the softening breaks off the hardness from sin. You understand what it is and why it is in opposition to God’s glory. ( Spirit of defiance.)
Praise the Lord instead.
Love your God like you mean it ❤️ look to him in the darkness. Walk through tears. Lose everything in the rain on your way back to Kansas.
My daughter and I used to sing the wizard of OZ song on our way to Seattle from Eugene. It was our anthem. My husband gave me a Dorothy shoe snow globe with the inscription ” everything you need is already inside you.” My daughter and I don’t sing it anymore as she is older and we are not traveling and I don’t feel the same way about the song or it’s meaning to me or my family. I still have the globe, but seek God’s glory in place of all my Dorothy Ness. I am not disrespecting incredible efforts in art and story, but what is not quite correct in God’s way leads to complete disaster for following, change, etc . So, I am now aware of purity’s importance and ability to offer freedom for the lie of self and choice, power and money as the destination, rather than the tool. The yellow brick road needs to be God’s path to him. Heaven is him and it is home.
Hallelujah!!!! Yes!
