No Greater Blessing

Proverbs 3:34-35 (VOICE) God treats the arrogant as they treat others, mocking the mockers, scorning the scornful, but He pours out His grace on the humble. In the end, the wise will receive honor, but fools will face humiliation.

Beloved, I will not be mocked. As a man sows so he shall reap. So sow in humility, love, and wisdom; and reap an abundance of godly favor. There is no greater blessing, nor more peaceful way to live.

As you seek Me and My ways, I allow Myself to be found. As you ask for wisdom, I give it; for I AM Gelah Raz – the Revealer of Mysteries, and I love to share fellowship with My children.

Proverbs 3:27-35 (VOICE) Do not withhold what is good from those who deserve it; if it is within your power to give it, do it. Do not send your neighbor away, saying, “Get back with me tomorrow. I can give it to you then,” when what he needs is already in your hand. Make no plans that could result in injury to your neighbor; after all, he should be more secure because he lives near you. Avoid fighting with anyone without good reason, especially when no one has hurt you; you have nothing to fight about. Do not envy someone who profits at the expense of others or copy any of his tyrannical ways, For crooked people are detestable to the Eternal, but those with integrity receive His counsel. His curse lingers over the wicked and their families, but He forever favors residence of those who do what is right. God treats the arrogant as they treat others, mocking the mockers, scorning the scornful, but He pours out His grace on the humble. In the end, the wise will receive honor, but fools will face humiliation.

Walk in My Favor

Proverbs 3:27-33 (VOICE) Do not envy someone who profits at the expense of others or copy any of his tyrannical ways, For crooked people are detestable to the Eternal, but those with integrity receive His counsel. His curse lingers over the wicked and their families, but He forever favors residence of those who do what is right.

Beloved, resist the urge to covet those who appear to flourish while walking in a way that is contrary to Me. There is no peace there. For without My blessing, even abundance can seem a curse. There is no greater blessing than alignment and oneness with Me.

So align your heart and see with true wisdom the hearts of men. Find peace in fellowship with Me, and flourish as you walk in My favor.

Proverbs 3:29-30 (VOICE) Make no plans that could result in injury to your neighbor; after all, he should be more secure because he lives near you. Avoid fighting with anyone without good reason, especially when no one has hurt you; you have nothing to fight about.

Beloved, refuse to be drawn into petty arguments that are fruitless and divisive. You are My child, and therefore you reflect My character, which is love. So be full of that love, and allow it to overflow.

So choose the high road. There’s no need to defend your pride or your opinion – even your reputation, for all those can be safely trusted to My care. Rather focus on being a person known for your love, known for your grace – for in doing so, you best reflect Me.

Be Unburdened

Proverbs 3:28 (VOICE) Do not send your neighbor away, saying, “Get back with me tomorrow. I can give it to you then,” when what he needs is already in your hand.

Beloved, resist the urge to withhold what is owed simply because you “can.” If it is within your power to do so, be unburdened by obligation that you might owe no man, but simply be a vessel of love.

For owing – even when you have the means to repay, leaves your focus divided. So instead, close the door by completing the transaction and moving wisely on. In doing so, you make room for your undivided attention to be on Me, which is the wisest choice.

Vessel of Blessing

Proverbs 3:27 (VOICE) Do not withhold what is good from those who deserve it; if it is within your power to give it, do it.

Beloved, if it is in your power to bless, do so without hesitation. For if there is someone who is ripe to receive and you have an opportunity to be My hands, refuse to miss the opportunity, for you cannot help but be blessed in return.

Keep an eye out for opportunities to bless, and watch them multiply before you. Whether that be in gifts or words or simply a show of support, choose to be the good – be the vessel of blessing, simply because you can.

So simply be your best self and keep your gaze fixed on me. In doing so you acknowledge the Source of your wisdom, and then in the days that other’s see it and give praise you will receive it with humility and not be tempted to puff up in pride for you know it is a gift from Me.

Trust Your Inner Wisdom

Proverbs 3:21 (VOICE) My son, never lose sight of God’s wisdom and knowledge: make decisions out of true wisdom, guard your good sense,

Beloved, you know Me, and you heed My voice, so trust your inner wisdom when it directs you – for it comes from Me. Refuse to be taken in by fancy words or evil schemes – though often they be framed in a way to make them seem right. 

The ways of the wicked (or even the well-meaning who have chosen poorly) are known by their fruit, rather than their title. For a wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf. This is not a call to judge, but simply to exercise your wisdom from me and make your choices accordingly trusting Me to lead others as well should their heart’s be open to hearing.

Beloved, keep your heart fixed upon My truth. Steadfastly meditate on My Word and listen for My voice. For I AM your compass, and I AM your true north. Without Me you make yourself vulnerable to deception, so grab hold and refuse to let go. 

Resist the urge to stagnate in a place where you think you understand Me. For I embody the mysteries of the universe and My wisdom and understanding far surpass what you know and can conceive of.

Move in Wisdom

Proverbs 3:20 (VOICE) Through His knowledge, the deep was divided into seas and sky, and the clouds understood when to let down the morning dew.

Beloved, wisdom that comes from Me helps you recognize the right timing. It instructs you when to act, and when to pause. It keeps you in My perfect timing that you might be aligned with My perfect plans.

The right word in the wrong season is the wrong word. And likewise the right action at the wrong time is the wrong action. You cannot arrive at your desired destination by making the correct turns miles too soon. So move in wisdom and stay in alignment with Me. M

Through His knowledge, the deep was divided into seas and sky, and the clouds understood when to let down the morning dew.
