Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:" (Proverbs 23:1 KJV)

"Consider diligently or observe carefully" are the words of wisdom to those who may take some big step forward or upward. Observe carefully and with caution as you may drop the opportunity or fail to see what's best for you. Sitting with the ruler is indeed intimidating, thus; we were advice to consider diligently.

It made me wonder why on the following phrase it says; "...consider diligently 'what' is before thee" it did not say 'who' is before thee since the first phrase talks about sitting with the ruler. The focus might have been the presentation, or what had been presented. It might be the issue of why (someone) was seated with the ruler. It is an honor to sit with the ruler- but always be careful and consider what is before you.-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold." (Proverbs 22:1 KJV)

"Great riches" is considered by some as only material blessings. What is great riches? It may depend on the persons perspectives. Some make gold, silver, earthly things and treasures as their great riches. What are some of the things you claim as your great riches? We may not have other people's wealth, but we have riches that may be an envy in the eyes of others.

We were left with a decision between a good name and great riches. Zacchaeus made a choice. (Luke 19:1- 11) The rich young ruler made a choice. (Mark 10:17- 30) Nicodemus made a choice. (John 3:1- 7) Jesus warned us about the deceitfulness of riches. (Mark 4:19- 24)-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." (Proverbs 21:1 KJV)

"...the hand of the Lord." It's comforting but at the same time could also be sad for those who have been out of the will of God. I mean those who kick against the prick- Rebel against the Lord Jesus Christ. We may not know this but God has the pattern for each lives already, alright and ready in His disposal. Although the hand of the Lord is not short that it cannot save even the chief sinners. (Isaiah 59:1) The hand of the Lord could also be heavy to others whose life is on the opposite side. (I Samuel 5:6- 11)

May we put our trust in God in all our circumstances. Even in the hardest part of our lives- we can always trust God's hand to help us and at least go through it or overcome it by His grace. We must look up to Him and hold on to His hand. ( Proverbs 3:5- 6)-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." (Proverbs 20:1 KJV)

Is alcoholism and addiction to wine or liquor a disease? Is it a psychological or mental sickness or just part of human culture? Speaking from my personal experienced; it is indeed an addiction, and a temptation to non drinker that can be overcome by letting God take control of your life. You have to give your heart and life to Jesus and let Him wipe away your addiction; not just in wine but in all kinds of sinful things and lifestyle.

In 2005- alcohol was the 3rd killer in the USA. It's the cause of liver cancer and cirrhosis, heart attack, brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other abdominal problems. These are just the physical damaged it has caused to millions of people already. How about the low esteem, low self respect, low self confidence, low moral values, etc... Notice what the former alcoholic said regarding strong drink and wine; "Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts." (Proverbs 31:6 KJV)-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool." (Proverbs 19:1 KJV)

"Perverse" or "Crooked" are being practiced by millions of people but not a well known words to many. Some people are practicing the perverse or crooked way of life, but they refused to be called by its words and true meanings. Peer pressure, the pride of being identified with someone influential or just being cool is more important than personal conviction or holiness and righteousness.

Be courageous to stand on your ground with integrity. A legacy that no amount of money can buy. If you have integrity, you can always look at the eyes of your children and the people's eyes with nothing to hide in the back of your mind. If a person is perverse or crooked- at the back of that eyeballs are hidden sin. The Word of God and Christ's forgiveness  is the resolution to a darkened world of sin. (Psalm 119: 11)-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom." (Proverbs 18:1 KJV)

"Separated himself" or "Isolates himself" could either be for a good purpose or because of bad attitude or wrong reason. I remember when I was really sick and they can't figure out what kind of infection I had. They placed me on isolation. It was scary for me and my family.

In a Federal Prisons, any inmates who violates the rules or did something bad could lead to the inmates' isolation, and no one likes it inside the jail. It is at times good for them because they get to learn their lessons from that bad experienced, but it can also makes them crazy being alone in a dark small room.

For believers, it's sometimes needed and a must. It is good for Christians to sometimes be alone with God (Not in a dark room though)-praying and meditating in His holy Word. When was the last time you went into isolation with the Lord? "And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida." (Luke 9:10 KJV)-By Ely Roque Sagansay

Wisdom of the Day from Mi Daily Devotion

"Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife." (Proverbs 17:1 KJV)

 

"Quietness" is the longing of every souls on earth. We have been longing to live a quiet life, whenever and wherever. Is there quietness in your home, in your relationship with your spouse, or friends and love ones? A peaceful soul is a quiet soul. If you have God, you have the peace of God. He gives peace to a quiet and a peaceful man.

You have to desire and delight in God to obtain or gain peace with God. It's the key to enjoy living a quiet and wholesome life. You also need to know Him (Jesus) as your Savior and Lord. The Bible says; "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalms 37:4 KJV)-By Ely Roque Sagansay
