Proverbs 9:10-11 AMP

The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight and understanding
For by me [Wisdom from God] your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.

Psalm 1:1-6 AMP

Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and mockers] gather. 
But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teaching of 'God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. 
And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]
Not so the wicked [those disobedient and living without God are not so] But they are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked [those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God].
For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [those living outside God's will] shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought).

7/8/11 Taking the Summer Off From School

    I decided to take the summer off from school because of finances and I am getting my house in order.  I also need a little rest time so I am prepared to go back in September.  I will be taking 3 classes for the Fall I semester and just 1 for the Fall II semester. 

    Take Care.

The weekly word: Further than what I want to be: "Hosea 7:1–9 (AV) 1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for ..."

Proverbs 4:23-27 AMP

Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.  Put away from you false and dishonest speech and willful and contrary talk put far from you.  Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you.  Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright.  Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.

July 4th, 2011

    As I write today, on America's day of Independence, I think about the ministry God has intrusted into our hands.  Sold Out Ministries of Ozone Park will start its 4th year in September 2011.  I pray for God to have His way with us and this ministry, may Gods will be done,  in Jesus name, amen.
 

Proverbs 3:5-8 Amplified Bible

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your  paths.  Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.  It shall be health to your nerves, sinews, marrow, and moistening to your bones.
