Proverbs 16

Who is God?

The Lord is in control of all things and He is sovereign; He blesses the righteous for their obedience and punishes the wicked. (1-6, 9)
He is Life; for those that seeks Him finds Life. (15)

How Should I Respond?

I should trust in the Lord because He is in control of everything that happened, happening, and will happen. (4)
I should turn away from arrogance and pride because if I do not God will turn his favor away from me. (5)
I should continually seek Him in order to find life. (15)
I should not gossip or spread strife because it will tear friends apart and turn into hatred. (28)

What Should I Pray About?

I wanted to pray that with the help of Christ, I will be able to completely trust in God for the plans He has for me.
I also wanted to pray that God will open my heart and soften it so that He may use me for His glory so that I can be a light to the world shining His glory and majesty.

Where Do I Go From Here?

I should keep in mind that Christ is in control. (3)
In every activity, I should try to please God because He will give me peace. (7)
Continually trust in the Word and meditate on it and I will be blessed and the Word will keep me from the ways of the wicked. (20)
