Takeaways from Proverbs 15
(Day 8 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -

Note to self: If I get into a heated discussion with my wife, I’ll say “Sorry, I love you, forgive me please?” rather than just automatically jumping to defend and justify myself.

“A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:1-2, 18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

God is always watching us and He knows all our feelings and thoughts.
Despite knowing us so well and all our flaws, He still loves us!

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.” (Proverbs‬ ‭15:3, 11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Avoid ill gotten gains. It brings trouble!

“In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

God loves it when we spend time speaking to Him, sharing our innermost thoughts and desires.
He wants to help us and be intimately involved in our lives.

“The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, But the words of the pure are pleasant.
The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:8, 26, 29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Choose to have a merry heart at all times. You can keep rejoicing in the fact that you have Jesus and are eternally saved!

“A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:13, 15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬)

Believers are the upright because they have received their righteousness from Jesus.
Our way should be smooth and we get to our destination faster than a lazy person - it’s all by God’s Grace, not by our efforts or abilities.

“The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:19‬ ‭NKJV‬)

You will get what you speak so speak words that produce joy in your life.
Many times when a sermon seems to be speaking to me directly, it’s so divine and feels like God is talking directly to me.
I want to be that person who can prophesy and speak the right words just when someone needs them.

“A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

When you focus on receiving God’s Hesed Wisdom this year, more likely than not, it will be the turning point in your life for the better.

“The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below.” (Proverbs‬ ‭15:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

When you see Jesus in God’s word, your eyes are flooded with light.
It produces joy in your heart and many other amazing benefits.
When you read and listen to messages about God’s grace and testimonies of God’s goodness, it will have a positive effect on your health. Strong bones is one of the results!

“The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy.” (Proverbs‬ ‭15:30‬ ‭NKJV‬)

When we keep our eyes on Jesus and worship Him with all our heart, knowing that all the good things in our life comes by His grace alone, we will remain humble.

“The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭15:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

白水晶是佛教七宝之一，又称为“摩尼宝珠”。白水晶在所有水晶种类中，磁场能量是最平稳、最纯粹，也是所有色彩能量的综合体，是平衡体内能量最佳选择，亦能使人心灵宁静，和谐纯洁，净化四周及人体自身负性能量，修补人体磁场及四周磁场。
玫瑰水晶俗稱為“粉晶”， 成為“愛情神之石”， 據說可增強桃花、主人際關係、增進人緣、保持心境平靜。玫瑰晶的能量，与人体七轮中的”心轮”相应，帮助平衡“胸腺”，加强心、肺的健康、松弛紧张的情绪。而且“玫瑰晶”还能使儿童保持开朗的心境，减低顽劣性。

據說馬克賽石可促智力高度發展、促進樂觀、加強信念、促進左右腦雙腦平衡的功能、平衡情感和理智、增強創造力和分析能力、提高潛能和克服精神壓力。

Pyrite/ Marcasite is an excellent defensive stone, shielding from many forms of negative energies including physical, etheric & emotional. Helps keep out negative vibrations of pollutants at the physical level due to the energy field it creates in the aura. Helpful when performing dangerous work, it allays physical danger.

Clear Quartz is an excellent healing tool, drawing a negative energy into its hollow center where it is transmuted into positive and then exponentially explodes outwards, releasing that new energy into the area that was cleared.

Rose quartz overcomes heart traumas, attracts love, draws off negative energy & replaces it with loving energy, increases fertility and helps people in change (excellent for mid-life crises, male and female). Rose quartz is the key heart chakra stone, healing physically, emotionally and spiritually.
