Proverbs 27
English Standard Version
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
23 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds,
24 for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field.
27 There will be enough goats' milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.
ObservationIt is true that an open rebuke from a friend is beneficial for anyone who wants to improve their lives, these are the people who needs to know what they can do to change to be better. Not all persons like to be told the truth but I would. I am experiencing hidden love and it is the hardest but the WORDS of GOD are to me - the open rebuke. The Words of GOD is always faithfully correcting me and encouraging me to be the best that I can be because the WORD of GOD is GOD Himself and HE is faithful and true. One of the things that GOD is reminding me to do is in Verse 23-27, to know the condition of my flocks would be to know the condition of my business and for me to know this I have to go and take account of everything and understand it's condition through the Financial Statements.
ApplicationI have received this word from GOD ever since GOD put me in the Human Resource Department of our business, HIS Spirit has been speaking to me to take account of everything after GOD stabilized our Human Resource Department on 2020. You see I realized that when you receive one victory, as long as we are alive, GOD wants us to take up another challenge or assignment and for me it was Accounting - the subject that I hated the most but it was time to face my weakness and the things that I don't like. It was time to grow up and not just deal with matters that please me. And so here I am in the Accounting Department and I feel a bit of pressure that GOD is reminding me to take account of our business once again. I do not feel equipped to take account and so I need GOD to lead me to the right resources, training and people to indeed help me take account. So I am praying for GOD's provision
PrayersDear AVI,HOLY is YOUR Name O GOD! Great and Awesome and HOLY are YOU!!! O GOD, I need YOU to help me, take account of everything in the Oishi Business. O GOD help me, lead me to the right people who can help me take account of everything. YOUR WORD is always convicting me, train me, teach me to do it, lead me to auditors who are flexible who can really help me audit or take account of everything because I want to follow YOUR WORD. I really want to know how we are doing... O GOD Almighty, I am praying for YOUR grace and YOUR mercy upon me. Help me to keep following YOU. Help me to obey YOU. I am asking YOU to continue to speak to Stephen and his mother Benita, that YOU draw them into YOUR Kingdom, that YOU make them hunger and thirst for YOU and that they will love YOU and follow YOU all the days of their life. If this is the only reason why YOU made me love Stephen O GOD, have mercy on me and do not let me love him more than I should. If he is not my husband then remove my feelings for him soon. But YOU have spoken to me and YOU have given me a sign so I am praying O GOD that YOU will show up in power over me and let Stephen to love me and take me to be his wife making Mom Benita very happy. I am asking YOU to show up in power and fulfill YOUR Promises to me, make me ready LORD for the things that I am praying for. Make me ready, Not by might, nor by power, but by YOUR Spirit O GOD I am able to do all things because YOU live through me KING JESUS and YOU deserve all the glory honor and praise! IN the Name of JESUS Amen!
