Harmful path or helpful path? Trusting God or yourself?
Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
Many people have looked for the fountain of youth. Searching, study, research, yet it is not where to be found. Unfortunately, for the many who searched or believed in a fountain of youth - they were looking in the wrong place.
You, I, We---we have found the fountain of youth. That is a belief in God's son Jesus Christ. Once we grow and live to the end of our life we will find the fountain of youth by a different name. It's name is HEAVEN, and we will be united with God, our creator. Listen to what Proverbs 16:28-33 says:
Proverbs 16:28-33King James Version (KJV)28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

30 Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;
whoever purses their lips is bent on evil. I had always heard this, well, she just pursed her lips and away she went. Hmmm! Also, in years past - a wink from one gender to another was flirting and........

31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained in the way of righteousness. In ancient days, a long life was a sign of God's blessing - so - gray hair and old age were good.

32 Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city. Self-control is greater than conquering. One who loses control can ruin much or cause much hurt.

33 The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the Lord. Here you are, turn to the LORD in your decisions and trust in God!!

Take time to think about these verses today. They were quite meaningful to me when I read them this morning. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
