To develop a godly character is not only for God’s pleasure (which it is because He wants the best for you), it benefits yourself and everybody around you too. Following the good ways of God brings joy to your life, it makes you strong to endure any evil situation. God will be beside you all the time. You will develop prudence, diligence, a cheerful speech, a good character, and self discipline. God will guide you in life to be the best you can be.
Evil scheming distorts the schemer;
peace-planning brings joy to the planner.
21 No evil can overwhelm a good person,
but the wicked have their hands full of it.
22 God can’t stomach liars;
he loves the company of those who keep their word.
23 Prudent people don’t flaunt their knowledge;
talkative fools broadcast their silliness.
24 The diligent find freedom in their work;
the lazy are oppressed by work.
25 Worry weighs us down;
a cheerful word picks us up.
26 A good person survives misfortune,
but a wicked life invites disaster.
27 A lazy life is an empty life,
but “early to rise” gets the job done.
28 Good men and women travel right into life;
sin’s detours take you straight to hell.
(Prov.12:20-28 MSG)
Prayer: Jesus, only with your strength I can be what you expect me to be. Help me to work for peace, to be strong during evil situations, to keep my word, to be prudent when talking, to be diligent in my work, to have a cheerful speech, to exercise discipline, and to follow a good direction in my life.
