Proverbs 19 – Spiritual SAT NAV

Sep8

Good day everyone, and welcome back to another journey through the book of Proverbs! 😊
Today we’re diving into Proverbs 19. This chapter is overflowing with wisdom, but I’ll be focusing on verses 2, 3, 11, and 23.

“The best way to live is with revelation-knowledge, for without it, you’ll grow impatient and run right into error.” (Proverbs 19:2 TPT)

Are you someone who tends to rush into decisions without fully understanding the implications? This verse reminds us that such a way of living is not wise—it opens the door to unnecessary mistakes.

The best way to live is by seeking knowledge, and that knowledge comes from God. We need to pause, spend time with Him, and seek His perspective before making choices. When we do, the chances of error are greatly reduced.

God has promised to be our guide and from my personal experience and what we see in scripture, I can’t think of any better guide than God himself who through Jesus Christ created and fashioned the whole world and everything in it for himself. Colossians 1:16 says:

“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him” (NLT)

God never misleads His children. The question is whether we will obey His direction or go our own way. Life without revelation is like driving blind. But thankfully, we have our “Spiritual Sat Nav”—the Holy Spirit! Just as a GPS provides real-time updates, reroutes, and warnings, the Holy Spirit is always ready to guide us into God’s perfect will—if we are willing to listen and obey.

‘But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak on his own, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. ‘ (John 16:13 NLT)

“There are some people who ruin their own lives and then blame it all on God.” (Proverbs 19:3 TPT)

How true is this? And yes—I’ve been guilty of it too (eyes covered). When things fall apart, we sometimes cry out, “God, why did You let this happen?” But often, it’s not God who failed us—it’s our own disobedience or impatience that led us into trouble.

Instead of blaming Him, let’s humble ourselves, repent, and return to His ways. The beauty of God’s heart is that even when we’ve made a mess, He is ready to help us back on track.

“An understanding person demonstrates patience, for mercy means holding your tongue. When you are insulted, be quick to forgive and forget it, for you are virtuous when you overlook an offense.” (Proverbs 19:11 TPT)

This verse is pure gold! It holds so much wisdom for relationships. Patience, mercy, forgiveness, and overlooking offenses—these are the building blocks of healthy, godly connections, whether in marriage, friendships, or daily encounters.

I encourage you to sit with this verse, meditate on it, and ask the Lord to help you grow in these areas. It’s a powerful formula for lasting peace and love in our relationships.

“When you live a life of abandoned love, surrendered before the awe of God, here’s what you’ll experience: Abundant life. Continual protection. And complete satisfaction!” (Proverbs 19:23 TPT)

This verse is breathtakingly amazing. The promise is clear: when we surrender fully to God—loving Him wholeheartedly and living in awe of Him—we experience the life He intended for us. Abundance. Protection. Deep, lasting satisfaction.

True satisfaction isn’t found in possessions, achievements, or even relationships—it’s found in Him. Everything we need is in Christ.

My prayer for us today is that these verses encourage us to seek God’s wisdom, take responsibility for our choices, and walk in love and surrender to Him. In Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you for joining me today 😊 Remember, life is safest and sweetest when guided by the Holy Spirit. 🌿✨

Proverbs 18 – Safety in the tower

Sep4

Good day everyone, and welcome back to another time of blogging through the book of Proverbs! 😊 First, let me apologize for the break last week—thank you for your patience.

Today we’re diving into Proverbs 18, and while this chapter is packed with wisdom, I’ll be focusing on verse 10:

“The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10 NLT)

I love this verse because it reminds me of the incredible power in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 2: 9-11 tells us that God has given Him a name above every name, and that at the mention of His name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. The name of Jesus is not just an ordinary name—it carries power. It is a name that heals, saves, delivers, and brings peace. All we need to do is call on His name.

But here’s something important: for the name of Jesus to truly work in your life, you need a relationship with Him. Think of it like this—being connected to an influential parent or a well-known figure can open doors for you because of the relationship. In the same way, having a relationship with God allows you to access the power in His name. That’s why the verse says “the godly” run to Him and are safe—not just anyone.

So, if you’re weary, burdened, or in need of help, run to Jesus. His arms are always open to receive you, and there is safety in Him. Jesus Himself invites us in Matthew 11:28–30:

“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.” (TPT)

This doesn’t mean life will be challenge-free, but it does mean you’ll have peace and assurance knowing you’re not walking alone—God is with you, guiding and strengthening you.

So today, if you haven’t yet turned to Him, make that choice. Call on the name of Jesus, and He will save you. There is safety, strength, and hope in His name.

Thanks for joining me today 😊 and if this post encouraged you, share it with someone else who might need the reminder that there is safety in the name of Jesus. Together, let’s keep running to Him—He is our strong tower.
