THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE A REFUGE / PROVERBS 14.32

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:32

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE A REFUGE / PROVERBS 14.32

Although the Old Testament does not contain a fully developed doctrine or teaching of what happens after death, Proverbs does reveal that people who are in a right relationship with God have the hope of a peaceful and secure life after death. When the wicked die, they have no hope because it only seals their final ruin and separation from God. But when godly people die, they commit themselves to God as their source of hope and security beyond death (Proverbs 12:28; Psalms 49:14-15; 73:24). The New Testament teachings of Christ and of the apostles (Jesus’ disciples and other pioneer leaders of the church in its early stages) give further details concerning the eternal destiny of the righteous and the wicked.

HE WHO OPPRESSES THE POOR / PROVERBS 14:31

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:31

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

HE WHO OPPRESSES THE POOR / PROVERBS 14:31

Anyone who mistreats or takes advantage of a poor person offends God and shows hatred for Him. All people are made in God’s image (with the capacity to reflect His life and character, Genesis 9:6), and God has a special sense of mercy and concern for the poor (Deuteronomy 15:11). The New Testament reveals that the gospel (the “good news” about forgiveness and new life through faith in Jesus Christ) must be proclaimed to the poor (Matthew 11:5; Acts 4:13; James 2:5). Jesus Christ even identified Himself with the poor (Luke 2:7, 2 Corinthians 8:9: Philippians 2:7).

THE FAITHLESS / PROVERBS 14:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:14

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

THE FAITHLESS / PROVERBS 14:14

This describes people who turn their hearts and affections away from God, rejecting Him to go their own selfish way. Such people will in time experience the miserable consequences of their decision (Proverbs 1:31; 12:14; Galatians 6:7). Those who remain faithful to God (the prudent, Proverbs 14:15) will in time be rewarded for their devotion, both in this life and in the next (Revelation 2:7).

SEEMS RIGHT / PROVERBS 14:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:12

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

SEEMS RIGHT / PROVERBS 14:12

Humanistic wisdom and reasoning (based on individual satisfaction and benefit as its highest goal) is a poor basis for degerming what is true or false, right or wrong, worthy or unworthy. No matter how convincing or well-intentioned our ideas and actions may be, if they are not in line with God’s plans and standards they will likely lead to unexpected consequences and disaster. In the end, doing things our own way (which is one of the definitions of sin, Isaiah 53:6) will lead to spiritual death. God’s written revelation – His Word as recorded in the Bible – is the only infallible (Perfect, reliable, unfailing) source for determining the right path of life. The human way leads to death; God’s way leads to eternal life.

DESPISES HIM / PROVERBS 14:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:2

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

DESPISES HIM / PROVERBS 14:2

This refers to an attitude of resentment, hatred or rejection toward God, which is obviously a sin against Him. At times, we may express frustration toward God and even have sincere questions about His activity in our lives, but we must be careful never to treat Him with disrespect or hateful anger.

THE WISE WOMAN BUILDS HER HOUSE / PROVERBS 14:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Proverbs 14:1

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

THE WISE WOMAN BUILDS HER HOUSE / PROVERBS 14:1

A wise and godly woman makes her home a place of security, comfort, peace and joy, while a foolish and irresponsible woman neglects her home and family (1 Timothy 2:15; Titus 2:4-5).
