28 days of devotion : " But, was it for you ?" ( Part 2)

" Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform ( or pause and reflect)." - Mark Twain

Day 9/28  - Folly. ( Proverbs 9,10)
Be careful with those around you who wrongly advise you. They are leading you down the wrong path and modifying your destiny. 

Day 10/28 - Lifestyle of the badmind and the just. ( Proverbs 10,31-32)
Everything in life is a choice good and bad. You're the one who chooses where you want to stand. Be stable with your decisions and stick to it until the end. 

Day 11/28 - Balance ( Proverbs 11, 1-2)
I am reminded everyday that lukewarmness and unbalance are two things I need to really acknowledge about myself and work on. There isn't water further down the road. it's just a mirage.

Day 12/28 - Less is more ( Proverbs 12,9)
" Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food". This scripture described exactly what this new generation is and it amazed me because wether I like it or not, I am a part of it. Beautiful things grow from an imperfect place if you give it time.

Day 13/28 - The companion ( Proverbs 13, 19-20)
"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise and the opposite brings stupidity." At first I questioned those around me; Then I decided to flip the script for a moment. What do I bring to the table when it comes to companionship ? you can't always question why people leave and point the finger. Two cannot walk together less they agree ! 

Day 14/28 - Desires of the heart ( Proverbs 14,10 & 12-13 & 29)
Your heart has a brain of it's own, allow time and your heart to heal and restructure accordingly. By rushing the process, you're setting yourself up for a spiral.

Day 15/28 - Filtering ( Proverbs 15, 28)
Dear God, as I grow, keep me self conscious about what goes through my head and how I feel. Filter my thoughts from everything that could hinder the delivery of my intentions to people. 

Day 16/28 - Pride vs Arrogance ( Proverbs 16, 18 - 19 )
Dear God, I admit I am prideful, I don't apologize easily and I don't consider other's feelings and opinions to be relevant most of the time. I am very dismissive towards anything that I feel will hurt me. Today I pray that you help me get rid the mindset of doing things on my own and allow those who genuinely are trying to help, help me. Teach me to be able to speak up in my relationships.

Day 19/28 - The outcome of wealth. ( Proverbs 19,4 & 6 & 19)
When you begin to fulfill your destiny, something in the universe detonates. 3 Types of people you will attract, those who are for you. Those who share a piece of your journey and those who disagree with what you disagree with. Don't mistake the 3. Dear God, Choose my entourage accordingly; give me discernment not to get caught up in the "fun" and derail. 

Day 20/28 - The guessing game ( Proverbs 20,11 & 19)
When a child is born people are always able to guess who they will be in the future based off their actions. I've heard people say things like " She's feisty , she will never allow anyone to walk all over her when she grows up.." But when it comes to me, when a stranger first meets me, how will they describe me to someone else ? Telling lies is so easy but at what cost ?
