Proverbs as Affirmations: With God

Writing these Proverbs into Affirmations has been a new way for me. A new way to think about God. And a new way of achieving being a better person on a more regular basis. Chapter 30 starts off with this very idea.

I am thankful that these words are of a new way.

God is with me. God is with me. With God, I have help.

It is true. I have seen God in a new way. With God, I have help.

God is a shield unto me. I put my trust in God.

God keeps me good.

God keeps contentment in my heart.

God keeps me appreciating the wise.

God keeps ease of forgiveness in my heart.

I enjoy being connected to God.

May you be blessed with the knowledge of your connection to God. Read more thoughts of God in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Leaders

I found it interesting that an early affirmation in Chapter 28 mentions bravery.

I like that righteous people are brave.

One might think that if one is connected to God, and simply obeys God to do what is right, then why would this person need to be brave. It is because, the things that may be right thing to do, isn't necessarily in that person's comfort zone. When I first started expanding my acts of kindness, it took a certain amount of bravery, on my part, to be kind outside of my comfort zone.

More interesting things about this chapter are the verses about leadership. Not necessarily individually, but national leaders.

A nation is strong and endures when it is led by leaders of understanding.

I elect leaders of understanding.

Wouldn't it be great to have leaders of understanding in office, no matter what country you live in. I invite you to join me in affirming the affirmations about leaders.

I rejoice that we have leaders who have understanding.

Leaders who love honesty, and are content with their own, prolong their days.

I enjoy when the righteous are in power, the goodness increases.

May you be blessed with safe leaders of integrity in your life. Read more helpful thoughts in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs as Affirmations: Neighbors and Enemies

In writing yesterday's post, I had an epiphany of sorts. I shared my ponderings about God, and came to the realization, that the God that is Spirit, is the God that rings true for me. I still believe in God, and I still believe in this project. This morning, I felt more empowered to continue on with it.

And now onward, with Chapter 25.

Chapter 25 of the Bible Proverbs has one of my favorite verses, which was pretty consistent in the different Bibles: A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

I didn't want to use any verse word for word, so below is the affirmation that I wrote in its place.

I speak kindly and wisely; it is like a picture of beauty.

Correction given by an experienced person to an obedient listener is valuable.

I speak correction in kind ways.

Neighbors are mentioned in this chapter as well.

I only visit my neighbors now and then, keeping my welcome fresh.

Building trust in yourself to choose the kind action is only part of it. We are also encouraged to see these traits in others.

I depend on those that are reliable.

I am at peace in myself.

Chapter 25 also tells us what to do when we don't feel like we are in the company of reliable people.

If another is hungry, I feed them.

If another is thirsty, I give them water to drink.

I changed the word enemy (that was in the Bible) to another, to help think of others in a better light and to not already give anyone a label.

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.
