Proverbs 15 – Want to see God’s glory?

Aug23

Good day everyone and welcome to another day of blogging through the book of Proverbs 😊

Today we look at chapter 15 and I’ll be focusing on verses 31-33

[31] Accepting constructive criticism opens your heart to the path of life, making you right at home among the wise. [32] Refusing constructive criticism shows you have no interest in improving your life, for revelation-insight only comes as you accept correction and the wisdom that it brings. [33] The source of revelation-knowledge is found as you fall down in surrender before the Lord. Don’t expect to see Shekinah glory until the Lord sees your sincere humility. (Proverbs 15:31–33 TPT)

These verses carry such powerful truth. To accept constructive criticism is to embrace wisdom. How do you personally respond to correction? We can either receive it and grow, or reject it and remain in foolishness. Correction should not be seen as rejection, but as an opportunity to mature in character and in our walk with God.

Verse 32 reminds us that refusing correction reveals an unwillingness to grow. Revelation and wisdom are not found in prideful resistance, but in humble acceptance of truth. When we receive correction, our understanding deepens, and our ability to reflect and make wiser choices increases.

Verse 33 is it for me 😊. The true source of revelation and knowledge begins with surrender to God. Surrender is the starting point of wisdom. It means yielding our whole being to Him—relinquishing control and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our lives. Without surrender, there is pride; and pride keeps us from experiencing the fullness of God’s presence.

The latter part of verse 33 tells us we cannot expect to encounter God’s glory without sincere humility. Humility is the posture that attracts His presence. To live surrendered is to declare with our lives, “God, I need You.” Only then can His Spirit freely work in us and lead us into truth.

Today, let’s make the choice to fully surrender. Yield our plans, desires, and will to God. Trust that He knows what is best and will guide us into the path of life. True wisdom and lasting transformation are found in Him alone.

Proverbs 14 – On the right path?

Aug22

Good day everyone and welcome to another day of blogging through the book of Proverbs 😊

Today we look at chapter 14 and I’ll be focusing on verse 12 and 23

There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. (Proverbs 14:12 NLT)

‘You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen, but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction.’ (Proverbs 14:12 TPT)

What path are you walking on today? Is it truly right, or are you justifying a choice you know is not pleasing to God? The above scripture reminds us that any path apart from Him ultimately leads to destruction. It may feel right in the moment, but it can never end well.

The safest and best path is the one God Himself leads us on. That’s why we must trust Him, seek His face, and allow Him to guide our steps.

The Lord promises in Psalm 32:8–9 (TPT):
“I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!”

What a beautiful assurance! God doesn’t just point us in the right direction—He walks with us, teaching and guiding us along the way. Our role is to yield, not resist, and to trust Him even when He leads us into unfamiliar places.

“If you work hard at what you do, great abundance will come to you. But merely talking about getting rich while living to only pursue your pleasures brings you face-to-face with poverty.” (Proverbs 14:23 TPT)

Diligence is key to fruitfulness. Hard work brings reward, but merely talking about dreams without action leads to frustration and lack. Too often, we fall into the trap of endless planning, thinking, or even daydreaming—yet without consistent effort, nothing is accomplished.

This verse challenges us to move beyond words into action. If you want to see growth in your life, career, or walk with God, it requires discipline, persistence, and faithful effort.

Let’s not be people who only talk about what we want to do—let’s rise, work hard, and trust God to bless the work of our hands.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
