Humans seek riches but God causes His people to have an abundant life through following HIM. ***** Proverbs 2 6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of HIS mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: HE is a buckler (shield) to them that walk uprightly. (The WORD God gives to us shields us from perversions and wrong ways.) 8 HE keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints. *** Every time we hear a Word from God and think on that Word and do that Word, we are shielded from the way that would harm us and we are taken in a way that blesses us. As we draw nearer to the return of Jesus, we set our goal to be found by Jesus in peace, without spot, and blameless. (II Peter 3:14) As we think on those words God gives us and do them, they take us in the ways of God and keep us from the ways of men. We fight the concepts of men which are opposite to the way of God. One of the most important things for us to do is to search out the Word from God and meditate on that Word and do that Word. If we have caught our foot in a harmful net, God has a way of escape for us. As we do that shown us by God, we remove ourselves from that "net" that binds us to the evil of man. I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. First we see that there is no trap that is too strong for us. God does not allow that. We are able to get free. Second, God knows what we need to do to free ourselves. *** Humans stumble about not knowing what causes them to stumble. But we have the power through God to see what it is that is causing us to slip. And when we do see that, God also shows us how to avoid the trap so we can go in a straight way of good and not in evil. *** John 10:10 Jesus says: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. When we go in the way of the flesh or devils, we are harmed. When we go in the way of the scriptures and the concepts brought to our minds by the Spirit of God we move into a more abundant life and avoid the traps. Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. (We choose not to place ourselves in their paths.) 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. *** Proverbs 1 10 If sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 15 Walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Examples: (Comments by Joan Boney) During the Coronavirus of 2020, I became interested in following the happenings on television newscasts on CNN. But I found the commentators trying to stir me up in political ways to cause me to hate the government leaders in USA. Also I found them trying to make me think it would be good to "follow the science", which can seem to be perfect. (I knew this was not true for I know scriptures where Paul warned Timothy not to follow science, so called.) I Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: As I heard various doctors and scientists speak, I could tell they really didn't know what to do. They speculated. But the thing that was so bad is the newscasters and governors of states felt wise by that which these men of science and medicine were saying. And the newscasters were condemning others who questioned this way and they were even scorning those who choose to go in another way. And I could see they considered themselves wise in their own eyes in that which they were promoting. Also I could see them covering themselves by what the data reported, not risking their own opinion before other people. (I knew all these ways were against that which I read in Bible.) * Bible teaches me to seek my wisdom from God who made heaven and earth and knows all things. * I know how to seek wisdom from God and how to recognize that wisdom that comes to me from God. Then I began to see these newscasters as hollow, dead men and dead women. (people without souls) When I realized I needed to stop listening to them daily as I had been doing, my flesh resisted for it was being "tickled" by ...
