Proverbs 21:1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 16-17, 20, 23-31 TPT
[1] It’s as easy for God to steer a king’s heart for his purposes as it is for him to direct the course of a stream.
[2] We may think we’re right all the time, but God thoroughly examines our motives.
[4] Arrogance, superiority, and pride are the fruits of sin.
[11] Senseless people learn their lessons the hard way, but the wise are teachable.
[13] If you close your heart to the cries of the poor, then I’ll close my ears when you cry out to me!
[16] When you forsake the ways of wisdom, you will wander into the realm of dark spirits. [17] To love pleasure for pleasure’s sake will introduce you to poverty. Indulging in a life of luxury will never make you wealthy.
[20] In wisdom’s house you’ll find delightful treasures and the oil of the Holy Spirit. But the stupid squander what they’ve been given.
[23] Watch your words and be careful what you say, and you’ll be surprised by how few troubles you’ll have. [24] An arrogant man is inflated with pride— nothing but a snooty scoffer in love with his own opinion. Mr. Mocker is his name!
[25-26] Taking the easy way out is the habit of a lazy man, and it will be his downfall. All day long he thinks about all the things that he craves, for he hasn’t learned the secret that the generous man has learned: extravagant giving never leads to poverty.
[27] To bring an offering to God with an ulterior motive is detestable, for it amounts to nothing but hypocrisy.
[28] No one believes a notorious liar, but the guarded words of an honest man stand the test of time. [29] The wicked are shameless and stubborn, but the lovers of God have a holy confidence.
[30] All your brilliant wisdom and clever insight will be of no help at all if the Lord is against you.
[31] You can do your best to prepare for the battle, but ultimate victory comes from the Lord God.
