Proverbs 4-6, Psalm 22
Proverbs 6: 16-19 (NLT)
“There are six things the Lord hates—no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.”
In Proverbs 6:16-19, Solomon lists seven things that the Lord hates and considers an abomination. All of these sins are connected to things people do through their words, actions, or attitudes. These seven sins focus on how we treat other people. Father-God is deeply concerned with how we treat one another.
When we are haughty or proud, we make the Lord our adversary. Father-God promises to judge those who lie and murder. The Lord also judges those who devise evil plans and whose feet are quick to do evil. Those who give false testimony are also an abomination to Father-God. The seventh sin is sowing discord among family members or within a community, which is often the result of the first six sins.
These verses remind believers that we should reflect the character of Father-God in our lives by avoiding what He hates and demonstrating His love and righteousness in our daily actions. As we examine our lives and turn away from these behaviors, we align ourselves more closely with the Lord's will. Living this way also helps us live in harmony with others and reflects the Lord, who lives within us.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who lives within us and helps us live in harmony with others—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

WHEHS Break - June 28 thru July 6 and Travel Sickness
Apologies for the lack of posting. I attended my church's camp meeting in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania called "What No Eyes Has Seen" from June 28 thru July 6.
If you are interested, here's the WHEHS Day 1 session:
It was an amazing event with great speakers but it was a marathon conference with two sessions every day at 10 am and 7 pm. To get a seat in the front, you had to get there two hours before each session, so my day started with waiting in line at 8am, and then again at 5 pm.
The sessions went for 4 hours and with lunch, there was maybe a 2-hour break between each one. This schedule left little time for posting about my Bible readings.
So I'm behind with my Bible reading postings and I will be posting again trying to get caught up while not falling behind. Not sure how I will do that yet.
Then when I returned home, I ended up with a cold that wouldn't go away. I wasn't coughing or feverish, but my brain was foggy and I was very tired. It was a weird mucous-filled cold that wouldn't go away. I didn't start to feel better until Saturday July 11, and today is the first time I feel like my brain is actually working.
So expect to see more Bible reading postings until I get caught up.
Thank you!

Day 176 Bible Readings for June 27– Proverbs 3:5-7
Proverbs 1-3, Psalm 1
Proverbs 3:5-7 (NLT)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.”
In Proverbs 3:5-7, Solomon tells us to put our trust in the Lord with all our hearts. One Bible commentary I read noted that trusting Father-God with all our hearts means setting aside our own understanding and choosing instead to trust His wisdom, especially as revealed in His Word. When we trust the Lord with all our hearts, we honor and acknowledge Him in everything we do. We invite the Lord into our everyday lives and decisions. As we trust Father-God, He directs us through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Our wisdom is never greater than the Lord’s wisdom. As we trust Him and come to know Him more deeply, we are drawn toward righteousness and away from evil.
What I like about these verses is that although Solomon asked the Lord for wisdom, he reminds us that the greatest source of wisdom is not human reasoning. Father-God is the One we must look to for true wisdom and guidance. The Lord’s ways are higher than our ways.
Solomon then tells us to seek the Lord’s guidance in every aspect of our lives, including our daily decisions. Father-God, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, will show us which paths to take. Some Bible translations say that the Lord will make our paths straight, meaning a life free from unnecessary obstacles and confusion.
One Bible commentary I read noted that the straight path points to Jesus Christ, who is the only way to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Finally, Solomon tells us to turn away from sin and make daily decisions that align with the Lord’s Word. One Bible commentary I read noted that true wisdom comes when we recognize our limitations and resist the temptation to rely solely on our own intellect.
I know from my own life that when I relied on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, my life became filled with unexpected blessings and much greater peace. While I still experience challenges, I no longer carry the same fear and uncertainty because I trust the Lord to guide my steps.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is the true source of wisdom in your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 175 Bible Readings - Psalm 1:2-3 (NLT)
Psalm 1-2 Psalm 20
Psalm 1:2-3 (NLT)
“But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”
n Psalm 1:2-3, the psalmist tells us that righteous people delight in the laws of the Lord. They meditate on Father-God’s Word day and night. The Lord blesses the righteous and compares them to trees planted along a riverbank. A tree by a river has a continual source of water, which means it will never wither because it is always receiving what it needs. The tree remains strong and stable because its roots run deep. In the same way, righteous people continually bear spiritual fruit because the Lord is their source of life. The psalmist also tells us that the righteous prosper because Father-God watches over them in all circumstances.
These verses remind believers that true satisfaction and joy come from delighting in the Lord’s Word. One Bible commentary I read noted that this satisfaction comes from knowing and understanding Father-God’s will for our lives. Joy comes when we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and remain committed to the Lord. Continually reflecting on the words of Scripture leads to transformation because our thoughts and actions become aligned with the Lord’s will.
When we are rooted in the Lord’s Word, we become like trees that are continually nourished and sustained. We produce good works and spiritual fruit in every season, and we develop vitality and resilience even into old age. One Bible commentary I read noted that prosperity is not limited to material blessings but also includes spiritual and holistic well-being. We flourish because the Lord blesses us and guides us.
Every time I hear these verses in a sermon, I think of the lush trees I have seen growing along rivers. They always look so green and full of life. I once heard Pastor Russell Johnson of The Pursuit Northwest preach that this metaphor of the Lord’s blessings is fully realized when believers plant themselves in a local church and serve there. Attending church regularly provides spiritual nourishment because we gather to hear the Lord’s Word preached. Being rooted in a healthy church community helps us remain rooted in the presence of the Lord.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who blesses those who delight in Him and His Word—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
