Day 228: How to Raise Your Game (Proverbs 20:5-14, 1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2-7:10)

Day 228: How to Raise Your Game (Proverbs 20:5-14, 1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2-7:10): Proverbs 20:5-14 5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,    but one who has insight draws them out. 6 Many claim to have unfailing love,    but a faithful person who can find? 7 The righteous lead blameless lives;    blessed are their children after them. 8 When a king sits on his throne to judge,    he winnows out all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;    I am clean and without sin”? 10 Differing weights and differing measures—    the Lord detests them both. 11 Even small children are known by their actions,    so is their conduct really pure and upright? 12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—    the Lord has made them both. 13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;    stay awake and you will have food to spare. 14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—    then goes off and boasts about the purchase. Proverb Commentary Example of your life How you live affects others. You look to others for an example. Others look to you as an example. This happens whether you like it or not. Nowhere is this more the case than with parents and children. I have noticed how many of my father’s eccentricities I seem to have picked up. Of cours

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me.

You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
