Proverbs 21:2-3, 12-13, 30-31

We justify our actions by appearances; GOD examines our motives. Clean living before God and justice with our neighbors mean far more to GOD than religious performance.

A God-loyal person will see right through the wicked and undo the evil they’ve planned. If you stop your ears to the cries of the poor, your cries will go unheard, unanswered.

Nothing clever, nothing conceived, nothing contrived, can get the better of GOD. Do your best, prepare for the worst— then trust GOD to bring victory.
