Proverbs 21:1-3, 21, 23, 30-31

Proverbs 21:1-3 TPT

It’s as easy for God to steer a king’s heart for his purposes as it is for him to direct the course of a stream. We may think we’re right all the time, but God thoroughly examines our motives. It pleases God more when we demonstrate godliness and justice than when we merely offer him a sacrifice.

Proverbs 21:21 TPT

The lovers of God who chase after righteousness will find all their dreams come true: an abundant life drenched with favor and a fountain that overflows with satisfaction.

Proverbs 21:23 TPT

Watch your words and be careful what you say, and you’ll be surprised by how few troubles you’ll have.

Proverbs 21:30-31 TPT

All your brilliant wisdom and clever insight will be of no help at all if the Lord is against you. You can do your best to prepare for the battle, but ultimate victory comes from the Lord God.
