QT Proverbs 3:25-35

25 Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 for the LORD will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared.

Wow, God tells us right there... don't fear disaster. He is at our side no matter what happens. If we can focus on Him, He will help us stay away from the wicked.

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
"Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you"—
when you already have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
31 Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
32 For the LORD detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.

Vs 33... he blesses the home of the righteous.... I need to make sure this is the way I live. Not looking at the ways of others, or what people think... just what God thinks and His ways.

34 He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35 The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.

I guess it's better to be wise and live like God wants us to. Duh, that's what it says here in the Bible. Sometimes I feel as if God is telling me the same thing. SMacking me on the back of the head saying.... "duh" to me. I really need to follow His word daily. I need to focus on what is important... living as God wants me to live.

Some days there is so much going on I don't focus on Him at all. Today is a crazy busy day, but I know that if I don't take the time out for Him then Satan will attack me when I'm not looking. We don't need that. I've had enough of that. I want to stand strong.

God will lead my way.
