Fall Issue of AFWIS is published and on its way to your email.

Good Morning today is Monday 11.15.2010

Let us not be ashamed of the truth of the Lord.

We should always rejoice and be glad.

When trouble comes we should check and make sure we are in line with the Lord and if there is no sin in the camp then rejoice and be glad for you must be on the right track.

When needs start piling up and check your giving and make sure you have kept all your promises to God. Then start giving offerings over your tithe and name the seed. If you are seeding for a new car then when you put your offering in the collection call out to the Lord and name the seed for a new car or whatever you are believing for.

When the farmer plants corn he expects a harvest of corn not peas. So name your seed and have faith.

God will respond.

Psalm 25

Psalm 25 (Amplified Bible)

Psalm 25

[A Psalm] of David.

 ¹UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life.     ²O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.
    ³Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause.
    ⁴Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.
    ⁵Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.
    ⁶Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old.
    ⁷Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.
    ⁸Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.
    ⁹He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.
    ¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
    ¹¹For Your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great.
    ¹²Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.
    ¹³He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.
    ¹⁴The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.^{(A)
    15}My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.
    ¹⁶[Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
    ¹⁷The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.
    ¹⁸Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing].
    ¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they abound; they hate me with cruel hatred.
    ²⁰O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed or disappointed, for my trust and my refuge are in You.
    ²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for and expect You.
    ²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles.

Proverb 15

Proverbs 15 (Amplified Bible)

Proverbs 15

 ¹A SOFT answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.^{(A)     2}The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool pours out folly.
    ³The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.^{(B)
    4}A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit.
    ⁵A fool despises his father's instruction and correction, but he who regards reproof acquires prudence.
    ⁶In the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is great [priceless] treasure, but with the income of the wicked is trouble and vexation.
    ⁷The lips of the wise disperse knowledge [sifting it as chaff from the grain]; not so the minds and hearts of the self-confident and foolish.
    ⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, hateful and exceedingly offensive to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight!^{(C)
    9}The way of the wicked is an abomination, extremely disgusting and shamefully vile to the Lord, but He loves him who pursues righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).
    ¹⁰There is severe discipline for him who forsakes God's way; and he who hates reproof will die [physically, morally, and spiritually].
    ¹¹Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the final place of the accuser Satan) are both before the Lord--how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men?^{(D)
    12}A scorner has no love for one who rebukes him; neither will he go to the wise [for counsel].
    ¹³A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.^{(E)
    14}The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge and inquires after and craves it, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool feeds on folly.^{(F)
    15}All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].
    ¹⁶Better is little with the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord than great and rich treasure and trouble with it.^{(G)
    17}Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.^{(H)
    18}A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger appeases contention.
    ¹⁹The way of the sluggard is overgrown with thorns [it pricks, lacerates, and entangles him], but the way of the righteous is plain and raised like a highway.
    ²⁰A wise son makes a glad father, but a self-confident and foolish man despises his mother and puts her to shame.
    ²¹Folly is pleasure to him who is without heart and sense, but a man of understanding walks uprightly [making straight his course].^{(I)
    22}Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counselors they are accomplished.
    ²³A man has joy in making an apt answer, and a word spoken at the right moment--how good it is!
    ²⁴The path of the wise leads upward to life, that he may avoid [the gloom] in the depths of Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead).^{(J)
    25}The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but He makes secure the boundaries of the [consecrated] widow.
    ²⁶The thoughts of the wicked are shamefully vile and exceedingly offensive to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasing words to Him.
    ²⁷He who is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live.^{(K)
    28}The mind of the [uncompromisingly] righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.^{(L)
    29}The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the [consistently] righteous (the upright, in right standing with Him).
    ³⁰The light in the eyes [of him whose heart is joyful] rejoices the hearts of others, and good news nourishes the bones.
    ³¹The ear that listens to the reproof [that leads to or gives] life will remain among the wise.
    ³²He who refuses and ignores instruction and correction despises himself, but he who heeds reproof gets understanding.
    ³³The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
