Bible Verse of the Day: October 17, 2021

[Hidden In Him]

Yes, LoL (He is really focusing on Psalms 34).

One of those verses you can profess in prayer and stand on. The question is, how does the Lord define what a righteous man is, or was back when Psalms 34 was written. I found a few verses, and several of them seem to go in line with the rest of Psalm 34, especially about pursuing peace:

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives. (Psalm 37:21)

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. (Proverbs 10:11)

The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. (Proverbs 12:5)

A righteous man hates falsehood,
But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully. (Proverbs 13:5)

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. (Proverbs 15:28)

The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work;
All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back. (Proverbs 21:25-26)

The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor,
The wicked does not understand such concern. (Proverbs 29:7)

Amazing to see how much generosity was also mentioned in the context of discussing the righteous. Very interesting.

I haven't seen DBV post this week anywhere. I've got these off YouTube. Good discussion nonetheless.
