“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16
“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:
“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5
Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.
So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.
GOD IS UNCHANGING:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17
GOD IS FAITHFUL:
“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13
“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5
GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:
“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9
GOD IS SOVEREIGN:
“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14
Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”

Walking Intimately
There’s an interesting verb used with both Enoch and Noah that denotes intimate fellowship—the word is “walked.” The way we choose to walk with God today is just as vital.

2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.
Proverbs 18 Aug 18 2022
8 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends     and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.
2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding     but delight in airing their own opinions.
3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt,     and with shame comes reproach.
4 The words of the mouth are deep waters,     but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.
5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked     and so deprive the innocent of justice.
6 The lips of fools bring them strife,     and their mouths invite a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their undoing,     and their lips are a snare to their very lives.
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;     they go down to the inmost parts.
9 One who is slack in his work     is brother to one who destroys.
10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;     the righteous run to it and are safe.
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;     they imagine it a wall too high to scale.
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,     but humility comes before honor.
13 To answer before listening—     that is folly and shame.
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,     but a crushed spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,     for the ears of the wise seek it out.
16 A gift opens the way     and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.
17 In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right,     until someone comes forward and cross-examines.
18 Casting the lot settles disputes     and keeps strong opponents apart.
19 A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city;     disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;     with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
21 The tongue has the power of life and death,     and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 He who finds a wife finds what is good     and receives favor from the Lord.
23 The poor plead for mercy,     but the rich answer harshly.
24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,     but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

True Worshippers Don't Have to Be Told to Worship God
The act of worship is expressed daily by every creation – nature, animals, the heavens, and mankind. This act that we do is praise. Praising is very important, and learning about it has and will do wonders for your life. That is why we do it so much! We praise at ballgames, concerts and celebrities idols. We don’t have a problem with praising anyone or anything. However, when the scriptures tell…

PROVERBS 26: 12 AND HEBREWS 3: 13
Caught by strong delusion, From opened up thought inclusion…. A troublesome time Led astray in mind By sin and sacred confusion! – Too easy to say what you say, Foolishness for which one pays…. Friends losing For hasty words choosing, Too often it’s been that way! – Deceptiveness of sin, How easy it is to fall in… No one to help guard Your mind by the Word, The ice you’re on is…

Warning Signs
Nearly every person who drives has had a time when a warning light starts flashing on their dashboard about something. It is very easy to ignore the light flashing if everything appears to be running well. Sometimes one believes that the warning light is not important, such as in the one light in the picture above. It is unknown why the seatbelt light is flashing, but all seatbelts are connected…

The Blessing of the LORD Brings Wealth
1 The proverbs of Shlomo. A wise son makes a glad father; But a foolish son brings grief to his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death. 3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry, But he thrusts away the desire of the wicked. 4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent brings wealth. 5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, But he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame. 6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. 8 The wise in heart accept mitzvot, But a chattering fool will fall. 9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely, But he who perverts his ways will be found out. 10 One winking with the eye causes sorrow, But a chattering fool will fall. 11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all wrongs. 13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, But a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge, But the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16 The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction, But he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 18 He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. 19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, But he who restrains his lips does wisely. 20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But the foolish die for lack of understanding. 22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, And he adds no trouble to it. 23 It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, But wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure. 24 What the wicked fear, will overtake them, But the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to those who send him. 27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days, But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, But the hope of the wicked will perish. 29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. 30 The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not dwell in the land. 31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut off. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked is perverse. — Proverbs 10 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain. Cross References: Genesis 24:35; Exodus 23:1; Deuteronomy 11:9; Judges 19:17; 1 Kings 4:32; 2 Chronicles 32:33; Job 8:13; Job 31:24; Psalm 35:19; Psalm 37:30; Proverbs 2:12; Proverbs 2:14; Proverbs 2:22; Proverbs 5:23; Proverbs 6:6; Proverbs 6:8; Proverbs 9:9; Proverbs 11:18-19; Proverbs 13:6; Proverbs 13:14; Proverbs 17:20; Proverbs 18:4; Obadiah 1:10; Matthew 6:33; Matthew 7:24-25; Matthew 10:26; Matthew 12:35; Luke 12:19-20; 1 John 5:14-15; James 1:19; James 5:20

Today's article: "How Does God Work In Mysterious Ways?" is a brief one that is meant to shed light on whether this is accurate according to scripture. Hopefully this will equip you with an insightful outlook as to how God does do so in some respects, but simultaneously is not in others. After all two things can be true at once without conflicting with each other. You can find today's work by clicking the link in my stories for the next 24 hours, or later at the source on my website: www.SaviorandLord.com. #God #JesusChrist #HolySpirit #Bible #Christianity #Mystery #James #Romans #Ephesians #Proverbs #Matthew #1Corinthians #2Corinthians #Hebrews #Galatians #Numbers #John #Jeremiah https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxE9cevjB5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
