Proverbios 11:17 – A su alma hace bien el hombre misericordioso; Mas el cruel se atormenta a sí mismo Pensamiento: Cuando hacemos lo bueno nuestra alma se regocija. El hacer mal hiere el corazón del hombre. Como cristianos, hacemos todo para su gloria. Bueno, en realidad, deberíamos hacer todo para su gloria. Eso quiere decir que al final del día no debemos hacer nada para sentirnos bien, para gloriarnos o para alcanzar el provecho propio. Por otra parte, hay una…

Proverbs 11:31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. Thought: We will all receive a reward and reap what we sow. One of the mysterious questions that man asks himself is why it seems that there are evil people who have more and receive more. There are good people who seem to have more bad times and more difficulties than those who do the wrong thing. The answer to that question…

Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. Thought: If I hate, only problems will come, but love sets me free. One of the most misused words in the world today is the word love. We think that love is based on mere feelings or physical touch. But love is much more than that. Love is a sacrificial action. We see love clearly represented in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. There is no better image…

Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

The book of proverbs is known as the Book of Wisdom. It challenges man to be wise, to…

Proverbs 6:20-21, 23 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Thought: If the commandment is light, following His guidance brings me blessing. The proverbist writes encouraging his son to a godly life. It was his goal not only that his son…

Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Thought: Discipline and the desire to achieve goals are necessary for a full and successful life. Being lazy is easy! The reality is that no one loves discipline and diligence naturally. Over the years, some come to love discipline and diligence not because they are delightful…

Proverbs 4:23-26 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a forward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy days be established. Thought: From our hearts flows who we really are. Christ in his ministerial time on earth taught us that who we are inside is…

Proverbs 3: 9-10 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Thought: When we honor God by giving Him of our provisions, He promises to provide all our needs. It is true that to have, first we must work. Everyone who is successful has put in a lot of effort to achieve what they have achieved, and…

Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Thought: The right path can only be made clear by acknowledging the Lord. It is a common desire in the life of every young person and adult to know the path and direction of their life. Many spend valuable time discovering what they were created for, what path they should take, or trying to find out what God wants for their lives. Sadly others spend time…

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. Thought: Trusting God requires complete surrender of the heart. There is no more beautiful example of trust than that of a child who believes and accepts everything that his mom or dad tells him. Many times the child asks his parents if they can do something to which daddy often says, “Yes.” The child leans on the word of his parents hoping that…
