Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:7 ESV
I have been a follower of Jesus for over 40 years, and I am very glad for all the Bible knowledge I have gained. But when I read Proverbs chapter 3 on the third of each month verse 7 above reminds me to stay humble. Thinking that one “knows it all” is dangerous because you don’t listen to valid counsel.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
Proverbs 12:15 ESV
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Proverbs 26:12 ESV
Paul repeats the instruction.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.
Romans 12:16 ESV
Every day I read the chapter of Proverbs corresponding to the day of the month. I highly recommend this habit!
5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance,
6 to understand a proverb and a saying,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
Proverbs 1:5-6 ESV
Jesus is coming very, very soon. Be ready!
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 NKJV
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
Matthew 24:32-35 NKJV
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:34-36 NKJV
Has the rapture happened? You can still be saved and go to heaven! --- Are you following God's plan for your life? You should. Your plan is not going to work. It is a really, really bad plan. Please come to Jesus to escape your plan! Most people are WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Jesus is coming. Are you ready to meet Him? Give your life to Jesus Christ. Time is running out.
Lift Up Your Eyes!
