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 11- Wise counsel

Aug13

Good day everyone and welcome to another day of blogging 😊

Today we look at chapter 11 and I’ll be focusing on verse 14.

[14] Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.(Proverbs 11:14 MSG)

No one is an island, and no one has all the answers. The above scripture reminds us that without good direction, we lose our way. Pride whispers, “I know enough. I don’t need anyone.” But that voice is a trap. Even the wisest among us need guidance — and the safest hands to lead us are God’s.

God is the ultimate Navigator. His track record is flawless. Remember the children of Israel? He led them through a barren wilderness, step by step, into the promised land. As long as they followed His instructions, they were safe. In Psalms 32:8 we see the lord saying He will guide us and direct us in the way to go.

[8-9] I hear the Lord saying, “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! (Psalms 32:8-9 TPT)

And often, God guides us through people. He places the right voices in our lives at the right time. Think about Jethro and Moses. Moses was a great leader, yet he was carrying a load too heavy for one man. Jethro, his father-in-law, saw the strain and offered wisdom: “Delegate. Share the load.” Moses listened — and his leadership became stronger, not weaker.

But here’s a word of caution: not every voice is a godly one. True wisdom comes only from counsel rooted in God’s Word. If you’re not sure, ask the Holy Spirit. He is faithful to confirm whether what you’ve heard aligns with Him.

So today, let’s walk humbly. Let’s stay teachable. Let’s allow God — and the people He sends — to guide us because with Him directing the path, we will never be lost.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
