Those who are truly strong will show it when times are good and when they are bad as well. Proverbs 24:10 says, If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength! This isn’t a question, it is a statement and an indictment on our strength if we fall apart at the first sight of trouble. More importantly, we are not alone. God is always near us and allows us to draw strength from Him if we are simply aware and willing to do so.

Few people like to ask for help and even fewer like correcting instruction from someone else. But Proverbs 19:20 says, Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Only a fool rejects wise counsel from others. God places people in our lives to help guide us and move us in the right direction. Be humble, accept it, and be thankful for it.

True friends are the ones who love you no matter what. They stick by you regardless of the circumstances of your life or whether you can do anything for them in return. Proverbs 17:17 says, A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. There is no greater friend than a loyal one. When adversity strikes, that is when a true friend shows up. What kind of friend are you?

Fearing God is not a bad thing. It is respect and reverence for our creator and Father in Heaven. The fear of God is no different than the fear we had of our parents when we were little kids. While we did not always understand the rules, we followed them anyway because we knew they were meant to keep us safe. Proverbs 14:2 He whose walk is upright fears the Lord, but he whose ways are devious despises him. God wants obedience, but more importantly He wants us to be fulfilled in a way we can only find through walking with Him.

When we seek God first in everything we do we find His favor in our lives. He may not give us everything we want when we want it, but we can rest assured we are following His will for our lives. Proverbs 8:35-36 says, 35 For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. 36 But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death. Very little good can come from a life of selfish ambition. We may succeed at life, but ultimately we will miss the mark for things that ultimately matter in the light of eternity.

God is not unclear about what we must do to keep His commands; keep His words close to our heart and obediently follow them. Proverbs 7:1 says, My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. There is only one way to do this and it is to be in God’s word and apply it to our lives. We must constantly turn to God and remind ourselves of what it means to be righteous. We will often fail, but God does not expect perfection, He expects effort and trusting in the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us to be obedient.

This world has many distractions. We can easily find dozens of excuses as to why we do not focus on the things that matter. God wants us to look straight ahead and to focus on Him and His path for us. Proverbs 4:25 says, Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. When a farmer is planting rows, he does not look down at his feet, he fixes his eye on a point in the distance in order to maintain a straight row. If we do the same with God and fix our eyes on Him, He well make our path straight.

The more we trust in God to provide our path, the better off we are. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. God’s path is always the most straight. It is our direct route to God’s provision and His will.

Discretion is the ability to tell right from wrong. Proverbs 2:11 says, Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Discretion and understanding help us detect the evil motives of men and women. For some people discretion comes naturally, but for most it is developed over time using the Holy Spirit to make wise decisions.

God is the true testimony about His Son Jesus Christ and the purpose of His coming to earth to die for our sins. The second part of 1 John 5:10 says Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. We either believe God or we don’t. Jesus is the Son of God and He died for all of us because He loves us. It’s a simple truth.
