Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding. What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Proverbs 10:23-24 ESV
Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
Acts 13:38-39 ESV

The infinite, eternal God works within time and space to sovereignly bring about his perfect plan. Wait on Him. Trust Him. He’s worthy.
Acts 10:17-18 ESV β Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simonβs house, stood at the gate and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

Acts 9:4-5 ESV β And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, βSaul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?β And he said, βWho are you, Lord?β And he said, βI am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
John 15:19 ESV β If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Don’t be surprised if the world hates you. As a Christian, you should expect persecution. If your life is easy, if you never have to defend your faith, if no one is accusing you of being stupid for following Jesus, you need to get out more! Take a risk. Speak the name of Jesus. Refuse to hide your light under bushel. Remember, it’s really HIM they’re persecuting.
Who are they Persecuting? YOU or JESUS? – FormerAtheist58

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.”
Acts 8:18-22 ESV

Proverbs 4:25-27 ESV β Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
Proverbs 5:21 NKJV β For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths.

Proverbs 4:23 ESV β “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
We need to think about what we’re thinking about and watch what we’re watching, being careful what we allow in our hearts and minds because it effects what comes out of our mouths and lives.
Heavenly Father, Your Word is life-giving. Your Word is truth. Help me to guard my heart, to be careful what I allow in and what I meditate on. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of my faith, that I might head straight towards Him. Keep me on the narrow road that leads of life, not swerving to the left or right. May I keep a careful watch over my mouth, that my words, too, would be life-giving and true. In the name of Jesus Christ, my perfect high priest, I pray. Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV – “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Acts 4:18-20 ESV β βSo they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, ‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.’β
I, too, can’t help but speak of what I’ve seen and heard, what I’ve experienced first hand. I’ve been changed by the risen Christ. I’ve been filled with the Holy Spirit. And I can’t keep it to myself. How about you?

“yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.”
Proverbs 2:3-5 ESV
βAnd now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,
Acts 3:17-19 ESV
Heavenly Father, Draw men and women around the globe to cry out to You, to seek wisdom diligently, to search Your Word like they would mine for gold and diamonds. Let us be ignorant no more. We are without excuse. You have revealed Yourself in creation and in the scriptures. Equip us and send us out as mature believers, to be faithful teachers and heralds of this good news. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
