Good morning everyone! Another great day to be alive in the LORD Jesus Christ. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Have you taken time for God lately? Do you pray before work? before driving? before stepping out into life's ventures for the day?

Today is the 22nd, take time to stop and read Proverbs 22 and listen to its instruction. The life styles of the wicked and righteous are compared and a great reason to live a life style for God is here. Let's just do a few verses and then take a moment to reflect on them.

Proverbs 22:1 "Choose a good reputation over great riches, being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold."

Proverbs 22:2 "The rich and poor have this in common, the LORD made them both."

Proverbs 22:3 "A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences."

Proverbs 22:4 "True humility and fear of the LORD lead to riches, honor, and long life."

Proverbs 22:5 " Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it."

So what are we told at this point? Be humble, fear the LORD, be prudent, have a good reputation, and the LORD made us. Just take a moment and roll each verse around in your mind. Does your life reflect any or all of these items? Thank you for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
