The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. A divine decision is in the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment. A just balance and scales belong to the LORD; All the weights of the bag are His concern. It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, For a throne is established on righteousness. Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And he who speaks right is loved. The fury of a king is like messengers of death, But a wise man will appease it. In the light of a king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud with the spring rain. How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.

Wisdom requires God's input, right? God wants us to think right and do right. So, He tells us how, in short, to-the-point sentences. You'll see this in the statement “Man Says”. But “God says” how to think and act His way in these Proverbs. “Proverbs to Remember One-Three” have 72 Proverbs taken from the 31 chapters. They cover about 25 topics (Anger, Temptation, Forgiveness, Hope, Trust, Wisdom, Family, Money).
The expression “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” only makes sense if it’s from God’s perspective. Only God’s plan will ultimately come to pass, and this 3-day reading plan by pastor Tony Evans shows you how God’s will may not seem to make sense to us but makes perfect sense in His eyes.
Finding it hard to see the goodness of God these days? Join me as we seek God's wisdom to not only find the power of looking back at God's faithfulness in our lives but to find peace for the days we are walking in now and the strength to look forward in hope and trust for the days ahead. Thank you for taking this journey with me! - Cade Thompson
In this three-day reading plan, I will introduce you to some of our persecuted Christian family members who share in the sufferings of Christ. After gaining a better understanding of the realities of living under persecution and learning from the examples of the bold believers you meet, you will end each devotion with a suggested prayer. I hope you will be inspired by this reading plan. — Todd Nettleton
