The Proverb Challenge: Day 23

The Proverb Challenge
Day 23

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Proverbs 23:7 KJV

We are a product of our thinking, we are what we think. Don't think because someone called you to come and eat, he / she meant that. Do not think because someone is laughing with you, he / she is happy with you.

Selfishness starts from the mind. A selfish man might profess to be a kind man but truth is he has no sincere kindness to you, but inwardly grudges you over  that which he outwardly offers to you.

Dont just judge solely on outward appreance or attitude. Beware of deceitful men, whose courtesies even you will repent of having accepted.

The heart of man can only be known by God. Even a killer could offer his victim a cup of water.

This verse is a call to us all to be careful and discernful about people especially those who seem to be hospitable to us.

Not all kind people fake it but you ain't never could tell which one us genuine or not. This is why Wisdom is required in all things.

You do not know a man until you know his thoughts. God knows him perfectly, because He knows his thoughts.

MAIN POINT: You cannot know a man merely by listening to his words or watching his actions. There is always more, and often better, in men than comes into expression

His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
