Proverbs as Affirmations: Willing to Learn

I know that one is suppose to walk a more joyous path with God, and I have improved in many ways. Today, although the weather turned out better than predicted for today, for which I am very grateful, I did find myself getting caught up in the hype of it all. I wanted to go to work today, and I was able to, and the roads were still in good shape for the whole time. Again, I am grateful. Yet I know I experienced disappointment thinking about what the weather was going to to. Years later, I started affirming to God about my desire for the weather, and many times the weather has turned out much better than what was called for on the weather channel.

Now on with Chapter 19.

There is more insight on kindness.

Wealth makes many friends. I enjoy giving gifts.

In a previous chapter, it was mentioned about being generous. I have found that there are levels of generosity. There is the pure great feeling of feeling very giving in the moment, when you just know it's the right thing to do, and it is joyous. I felt that the other day, and it was great.

My desire is kindness.

I treat my parents with kindness.

Affirming shows that one is willing to learn. Read more powerful affirmations in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Gods Will

In Chapter 18, traits of character building are built upon.

I enjoy speaking words of Wisdom.

I enjoy putting forth good work.

The relationship with God is also built upon.

I am righteous, and my heart is connected to God.

I enjoy having wealth through God.

I am peaceful and in awe of God.

A sense of helpfulness is occurring.

I am glad to help others and others are glad to help me.

Throughout the day I have more easily found ways to be kind, and have also more easily taken kind action. I felt the appreciation of others. I am feeling more contented and peaceful.

When an old fear came up, I just noted it, mentally said to it - "It is just fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway." And I continued on with the positive action.

When I was a kid, I was told many times about doing God's will. But no one was ever really able to tell me how to find out what God's will was for me. I believe now that when one builds a relationship with God, and affirms God's will, then you will sense, in some way, what God's will is for you.

Affirm God's will with the affirmations in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Goals

Much of Chapter 14 is I am statements. God is known as the great I am. I guess it serves us well to follow God's way.

Many of the verses declare being wise, and gives more insight into the wisdom.

I am wise.

I am wise. I understand my way.

Much of this reminds me about goal setting. Many of the things that I have become and achieved is because I had set a goal. Whether I actively thought about the goal, wrote it down, affirmed it, or imagined it. In whichever way I chose at the time, I had set or intended a goal.

Having a goal is helping to lay the path for your way. Having a goal sets your sights on where you are going.

I am wise. I stay on the right path.

Again, the goal is set, sights are set. Keep your eyes on the goal and your path shall be straight.

I envision good.

Thank you for stopping in and sharing in this journey.

Affirmations can help with goal setting. Read more in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Positive Speech

Today was my reading of Chapter 13.

I was reminded about keeping my own speech pure.

I like that I eat well by the fruit of my mouth.

I keep my mouth and I keep my life.

I had been a bit disappointed by some news that I found out. I wondered why it had turned out the way it did, and then I remembered about something I had said before. Then affirmations that talk about keeping my path straight come to mind. Yes, that is one of the ways to keep my path straight - through my speech.

So I shall remember that and take it to heart. I did a clearing prayer and that helped to get me to a better place and a better frame of mind.

When one starts using positive affirmations, it really goes better when all of your speech is in the positive way.

I just chuckled as I read the affirmation, I persevere. I act with knowledge.

I guess this one is becoming more true. I am diligent; I keep pursuing. I shall be acting with knowledge, especially as I continue to learn and practice these teachings.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Kindness and Poll

Chapter 12 reminds me of peaceful and kind thoughts

Kindness, Affirmation stickers with colorful stars
by CherylsArt

These are some of the verses.

I enjoy having kind thoughts.

I take good care of my family.

I am wise and think before speaking.

Kind words bring cheer.

Reading these affirmations now brings peace to me. When I read them for the first time, years ago, I wasn't so peaceful about it. I was still learning to be more kind, and to be kind more consistently. It is easier this time around. Kindness like anything, can can improve with practice.

Update: I did have a poll here about whether or not you wanted to see Proverbs as Affirmations get published. But now it is.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Mind Set

I looked back over Chapter 11 to refresh my memory. For actually, the verse I found myself repeating today was from Chapter 10.

Love forgives all offenses. I am love.

I used that quite a few times today. As things came up that didn't have a good feeling, I repeated this verse to myself. I found it helpful and soothing. It kept me on a more even keel which is different than what I would have normally done, on days before I began this new re-reading of Proverbs as Affirmations. Amen to positive change and repetition.

The other thing I want to mention, is that things that you say and read aloud from these pages, may not be true for you in the present. Some affirmations may already be true for you. For the other affirmations, they are seeds that you are planting. Then you get to nourish those seeds and watch them grow. And as with any plant, they continue to need nourishment to thrive. That's the way it is when working with affirmations. It takes repetition to help them take hold and to thrive, and to become your new mind set.

Good character directs my way.

I enjoy being confident in God.

I sow good thoughts and am secure in blessings.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Gladness

I found myself continuing to change. Mostly in little ways, or at least a little bit at a time.

I caught myself from saying something and either thought of a kind way to express what I wanted to say, or say nothing at all.

In reading Chapter 10, I came upon an affirmation that just felt so pleasant.

My hope is gladness.

I practiced thinking gladness throughout the day. It felt a little different than when I had thought of gratitude. It was a nice switch to think of gladness; it was also pleasant.

Most of the verses in Chapter 10 are of the character building kind and also establishing and reinforcing your relationship with God. Some of the affirmations I made from Chapter 10 are:

I gain wealth by honest ways and my life is saved.

I am fed by God.

Love forgives all offenses. I am love.

I've been practicing this one today as well. A later affirmation is helpful:

I fill my heart with love.

I find these affirmations pleasant to read, and to absorb.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Wisdom and God

Today was the reading of Chapter 9. More details are given about Wisdom.

Reverence of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I was still trying to figure out exactly who or what Wisdom is. I do know that Wisdom has a lot of positive attributes, and being connected to Wisdom also seems quite positive as well. But sometimes Wisdom seems more like a place or a thing; then others it seems like an embodiment of very wise things to do and be.

By having wisdom, my days are multiplied, and years are added to my life.

From what I know about God, which is what I've read in the Bible, is that God is Spirit. I have also read that God is omnipotent and omniscient.

Therefore this Spirit is unlimited in authority and power, and knows all things. Could it be then, that this Divine Energy flows through each and every one of us, which I think it does. Does it mean that we are always communicating with God, even when we didn't know that we were?

Proverbs as Affirmations: Wisdom was created by God

Chapter 8 describes Wisdom. Wisdom is not just about being wise.

Wisdom is everywhere.

Wisdom uses sound judgment, and finds knowledge and understanding.

Wisdom's fruit is pleasant and a joy to receive.

Wisdom sounds like definitely being more than just being wise.

With Wisdom, I have understanding and strength.

Wisdom walks in the path of being just and kind.

I find much comfort in this chapter. We don't have to be smart and figure everything out on our own. God has created Wisdom. Wisdom is available to us all.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Respect

I am continuing to grow and transform. Today felt more gradual than previous days. I guess since I've been doing this steady for a week now.

One affirmation in Chapter 7 really got my attention when I read it this morning.

I respect my spouse and my spouse respects me.

I've read verses about love and commitment before, but not respect. When I read respect, it did not ring true for me. As the morning went on I began to question myself - What is respect? So I gave it some thought; respect to me is honesty, integrity, kindness. There might have been some more. So then I began affirming those qualities of respect about my spouse. Yes, I needed to see my spouse in a new light. Reading that verse helped to give me insight. It's kind of amazing how it all works.

Saying something as so doesn't necessarily make it so. Sometimes there may be work involved to help make it so.

Part of this path is learning and practicing a new way to talk, as well as a new way of thinkingk, and also following through with new action(s). Sometimes it feels more like work than simple acceptance. Then I work on having a more positive feeling, or just letting something be for awhile, whatever seems to work best for me at the time.

Respect can begin with respecting ones own self and your own words. Find out more in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Integrity

Chapter 6 has more insight on character building. It also offers a solution of integrity to get out of an erroneous promise.

I am easily released from any erroneous words or promises.

If I had made any, I hurry to the person or persons and ask to be released.

I take care to do it before that day's end.

So yes, there is an out that requires some action and integrity. It is important to ask. I have experienced this before, and it was scary for me to ask, but it did work out. And just saying, it doesn't necessarily have to be about money.

There is wisdom that is noted from ants.

I learn from the ants and become wise.

They work without having a leader.

They prepare their food in the summer and gather their nourishment in the harvest.

I am thankful that I learn; I am productive and a good example.

Sometimes there are examples like the above that are given instead of it all being affirmations.

It was nice to read that I am a good example though. A person that has been reading my blog told me that she has found it encouraging. That was so nice to find out. I found what she said quite encouraging myself.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Character Building

Day 1 for reading Chapter 1:

Chapter 1 may not be affirmations in the normal sense - affirming things one wants to have; it is more about character building and developing and having a relationship with God.

Some examples of the affirmations are:

I am honest, just, and fair.

I have good character. I am at peace with myself.

I am connected to God. I listen to wisdom.

I rejoice in kindness.

Here are some fun stickers if you would like to share thoughts of kindness with others, or read the positive stickers around your home.

Some people have compared the verses from the Bible to the affirmations that I have written in Proverbs as Affirmations. The affirmations are more in number, however they are in the same order as the verses. Affirmations work best when they are short, making them easier to understand and remember. So when multiple ideas were mentioned in a verse, I split them up into shorted affirmation statements, making them easier to remember.
