Helped By Grace

📖 Day 1 of Proverbs Nuggets

Proverbs 1:8-9 (NLT)

"My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don't neglect your mother's instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck."

What stood out to me was this: "Listen when your father corrects you, and don't neglect your mother's instruction."

God places parents in our lives to guide, instruct, and correct us. Many parents teach from what they have learned and experienced throughout life. While we are called to honor our parents, we must also weigh every instruction through the lens of God's Word.

This is where the Holy Spirit helps us. He gives us wisdom and enables us to see life from God's perspective. The Scriptures tell us to honor our father and mother, and in doing so, we walk in a path that pleases God.

Verse 9 says that what we learn will crown us with grace and honor. Even if we did not grow up with godly examples, God's Spirit can shape our lives differently and make us a godly influence to others.

We cannot afford to live recklessly or make life decisions based only on personal desires. Whether it is marriage, relationships, or major life choices, our decisions should flow from alignment with God's Word and His will.

Don't rush into marriage because of pressure, loneliness, or self-glorification. Let Christ be glorified in your choices. A godly marriage is not built merely on feelings but on submission to Christ.

May we be people who receive wisdom, walk in obedience, and allow God's Spirit to guide our paths.

Shalom, Shalom. 🤍

“For we walk by faith, not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7 ✨

Many may read this verse literally and think it only means having faith, but reading Scripture in context matters.

The chapter reminds us that as believers in Christ, we do not dwell on the temporary things of this world. This body is only a temporary tent, and while we are here, we long for our eternal home with God. Though absent from Him in this body, we hold onto the hope that one day we will be absent from the body and present with the Lord.

We walk believing before seeing. The language of the flesh can never fully align with the Spirit, which is why we are called to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

Just like this homemade banana cake 🍌🍰 beautiful inwardly and outwardly Christ desires a spotless, purified Church, without blemish, set apart for Him alone. 🤍

When God place you in a place, it might be for a reason and that is to fulfill his Mandate....
It might a place, situation or even circumstances, just know that as a believer, God place you there for a shift...
When you read Acts of the apostles you will understand some certain things and how they all played out according to the Will of God...
Acts 16:23-34 study closely and you will understand how it all unveiled .
When the apostles ( Paul and Silas) got to Philipi something happened and when you read down you will see where this two apostles where striped naked and beaten publicly by the Roman,they didn't say a word because why,everything works together for good for those that love God...they could have just told them that they were also Roman citizens but they didn't, why I conclude that indeed they were led not to... this men didn't flow with the flesh,to disclose their identities too showoff,in other to pass the persecution instead they allowed the Holy Ghost lead...
God allowed them go through that rough experience to rescue a man, a jailer in that vicinity...wow!!!!
We're not like any other religions who says their god has fated them to go through whatever comes their way....

Because of that experience they were jailed and God rescued them from the prison... why...
A man needed saving....
Ask my kind..always ask don't don't move with the multitude..
Why has God allowed you to be in that vicinity...what is God saying...
Don't move because it's greener the
other side...
Move because he initiated it....
That is what it means to be led and what it means for His kingdom to Come and His Will be Done.....

Do not i repeat
Do not move blindly....

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Not your logic. Not your feelings. Not your assumptions.

Because what you don’t understand today, God already sees completely.

Trust in the Lord, not your limited understanding.

Everything isn’t meant to be explained some things are meant to be trusted.

Trust in the Lord… and lean not on your own understanding.”

The problem is, many people trust their opinions more than God.

There’s something about making bread from scratch…
Flour on your hands, a little mess on the counter, and patience you didn’t even know you had 😅
I didn’t just make bread today… I learned something.
That not everything comes out perfect the first time,
but somehow, it still turns out good.
“Give us this day our daily bread” hits different
when you’re the one kneading, waiting, and hoping it rises right 🙏🫓
No fancy ingredients, no shortcuts…
just simple things, a quiet moment, and a little bit of grace holding it all together ✨
And honestly?
It may not be bakery-perfect…
but it’s warm, it’s soft, it’s real… and it’s mine 😌
