Within your heart you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there. A king speaks the revelation of truth, so he must be extraordinarily careful in the decrees that he makes. The Lord expects you to be fair in every business deal, for he is the one who sets the standards for righteousness. Kings and leaders despise wrongdoing, for the true authority to rule and reign is built on a foundation of righteousness. Kings and leaders love to hear godly counsel, and they love those who tell them the truth. The anger of a king releases the messenger of death, but a wise person will know how to pacify his wrath. Life-giving light streams from the presence of a king, and his favor is showered upon those who please him. Everyone wants gold, but wisdom’s worth is far greater. Silver is sought after, but a heart of understanding yields a greater return.

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
