We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. The king speaks with divine wisdom; he must never judge unfairly. The LORD demands accurate scales and balances; he sets the standards for fairness. A king detests wrongdoing, for his rule is built on justice. The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly. The anger of the king is a deadly threat; the wise will try to appease it. When the king smiles, there is life; his favor refreshes like a spring rain. How much better to get wisdom than gold, and good judgment than silver! The path of the virtuous leads away from evil; whoever follows that path is safe. Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud. Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the LORD will be joyful.

Wisdom requires God's input, right? God wants us to think right and do right. So, He tells us how, in short, to-the-point sentences. You'll see this in the statement “Man Says”. But “God says” how to think and act His way in these Proverbs. “Proverbs to Remember One-Three” have 72 Proverbs taken from the 31 chapters. They cover about 25 topics (Anger, Temptation, Forgiveness, Hope, Trust, Wisdom, Family, Money).
The expression “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” only makes sense if it’s from God’s perspective. Only God’s plan will ultimately come to pass, and this 3-day reading plan by pastor Tony Evans shows you how God’s will may not seem to make sense to us but makes perfect sense in His eyes.
Finding it hard to see the goodness of God these days? Join me as we seek God's wisdom to not only find the power of looking back at God's faithfulness in our lives but to find peace for the days we are walking in now and the strength to look forward in hope and trust for the days ahead. Thank you for taking this journey with me! - Cade Thompson
In this three-day reading plan, I will introduce you to some of our persecuted Christian family members who share in the sufferings of Christ. After gaining a better understanding of the realities of living under persecution and learning from the examples of the bold believers you meet, you will end each devotion with a suggested prayer. I hope you will be inspired by this reading plan. — Todd Nettleton
