Proverbs 12:3




Daily musings, thoughts, heartaches, gripes, etc.  (limit 3)  😏
  1. Taking time to heal is a good thing.  
  2. Jesus Calling - is this sound teaching for discerning Christians?
  3. Be cautious when you're invited to speak truth into someone's life.  They may turn and bite you.
Proverbs 12:3  A man will not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved. (NASB)

Key words/phrases:  
  • established H3559 - erected, built up, prosperous, secure, enduring
  • wickedness H7562 - a wrong (especially moral), ill-gotten, iniquity, ungodly
  • root H8328
  • righteous H6662 just, lawful
  • will not be moved H4131 slip, totter, shake, bring down, fall, be overthrown, dislodged, eaver
What does it say (in my own words)?  Wickedness will not be blessed.  The righteous will not be brought down.

What does it mean?  Disobedience just doesn't cut it with God.  He will root it out and destroy it.  The righteous have deep roots like that of a tree.

Study Questions:  Is there a benefit to righteousness?  What wickedness are you struggling with and what steps have you taken to repent and go in the right direction?  What's in the way of you being obedient and what do you need help with?

Personal application:    Will the righteous be problem/trial free?  So, doing the next right thing is crucial in our obedience.  In order to do what's right you actually have to know your Bible.  Sound theology is important.  And it's also important to be careful what you put in your head.  Use google.  Take your latest favorite book or author and type in their name followed by problems or false teachings?  You may be surprised what you find.  Let's take Beth Moore for example.  Eckhart Tolle is another.  Do your homework.  Stay in the Word and keep praying.  Blessings on your day.  😇

Disclaimer:  I get one Proverb verse in email each day (except Sunday) so these are not selected by me.  I try to stick to the list.
