“The light of the [uncompromisingly] righteous [is within him—it grows brighter and] rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked [furnishes only a derived, temporary light and] shall be put out shortly” (Proverbs 13:9, AMPC).
We have God Himself living inside us; in an unrighteous world, He sees us as righteous because of our faith in Him. Believers refused to compromise or deviate from doing what they know is right. We rejoice because the light of the world shines in us.

“The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied” (Proverbs 13:4, AMPC).
Lazy people often have a “give me” attitude, wanting whatever good things in life they see while lacking the drive or motivation to work honestly for them. By comparison, God abundantly blesses the work of diligent people willing to put forth a good effort.

“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute” (Proverbs 12:24).
In the Old Testament, Joseph was appointed as a leader in Potiphar’s household because of his diligence and honesty and eventually was promoted to second in command to the Pharaoh of Egypt. Being lazy and slothful carries its own punishment; conversely, hard work combined with a good attitude brings favor from God; this still applies today.

“He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (Proverbs 10:4, AMPC).
In our imperfect world, we see lazy people with the ability to hold a job, but choose not to. God gives us the power to get wealth, and He rewards diligence and a willingness to put in an honest day’s work.

“Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?” (Ezekiel 34:18, 19, NIV).
God issued this reprimand to the Old-Testament leaders who selfishly put themselves first before the people they were charged with leading, but this still applies today. There are self-centered leaders not only in the world who only care for their own interests, but sometimes even in the church.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
The world relies on its own brand of intellectual knowledge to get by; this type of knowledge is devoid of God’s wisdom and can shift and change at any time. The gift of spiritual discernment is required for us to understand His teachings.

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8, 9).
Trouble is part of life. We all feel discouraged occasionally; even the apostle Paul felt it from time to time. However, having a biblical perspective on this emotion helps us maintain our authority over it.

“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?” (1 Kings 3:9).
King Solomon, known far and wide for his wisdom and faithfulness to God, prayed this. Solomon could have asked for and received anything he wanted, yet he was wise enough to ask God for the gift of discernment.
March 11
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
Spiritual discernment is a gift from God and is something every wise person should earnestly pray for. Without this supernatural ability, it’s impossible to tell the difference between the lies the world passes off as truth, and the eternal truths that undergird His spiritual laws.
