Better than riches

Proverb 20:15

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Double security

Proverbs 20:16

Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger, And hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress.

Sowing and reaping

Proverbs 20:17

Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.

Sound advice

Proverbs 20:18-19

Plans are established by counsel; By wise counsel wage war. He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.

Bible Promises

1 Peter 1:3

. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Luke 2:13-14

. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests."

Thoughts 

When Christ comes into the human heart, a process begins that the Bible calls sanctification.  You begin to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ toward spiritual maturity.  Sanctification actually means “separated” or “clean.”  In one sense, sanctification is instantaneous.  The moment you receive Christ as Saviour, the Holy Spirit comes into your heart.  There is also a sense in which sanctification is progressive.  You grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. - Billy Graham
