To revere God is to trust in Him.
We should trust in Jehovah with all our heart and not rely on our own understanding.
In all our ways we should acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight.
We should not be wise in our own eyes but fear Jehovah and depart from evil.
The Bible is God's exhaling.
The exhaling of God in the Bible is waiting for us to inhale.
When we read any verse by means of all prayer, this pray-reading becomes our inhaling of God's breath.
By this the Word becomes Spirit and life to us in our experience.

Christ as wisdom is our everything
Proverbs

May we be strengthened by pursuing Christ.🌾
Proverbs should not be used to build up the old man by cultivating our self and our natural man. Rather, we should reject self-cultivation and condemn the building up of the natural man. (footnote rcv)
This marvelous things provoke God's enemy to attack us with all kinds of sufferings & calamities.
Because of our response to the love of God in Christ, these attacks have become benefits to us.
We more than conquer in all our afflictions & calamities through Him who loved us.
🪴Prov 24:17-18: "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, / And do not let your heart exult when he is overthrown; Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease Him, / And He turn away His anger from him."🪴

Christ is the Victor.
He is the One who has destroyed the works of the devil/bruised the serpent's head.
If we acknowledge this fact continually and join ourselves to Christ, we will overcome continually.
Continually acknowledging Christ as the Overcomer will drive Satan away.
Our spirit is the source of our being, but the heart is the passage, the entrance and the exit, through which the traffic in our being passes- Matt. 12:34-35
The work of the Spirit within us is to constitute a new being for us.
The work of the Spirit without is to tear down every aspect of our natural being through our environment.
We should cooperate with the operating Spirit and accept the environment that God has arranged for us.
