Proverbs 31 - "Who can find a virtuous woman?"
Proverbs 31 King James Version
1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night, and gives meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good: her candle goes not out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excels them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

“Les daré un corazón nuevo y pondré un espíritu nuevo dentro de ustedes. Quitaré de su carne el corazón de piedra y les daré un corazón de carne.”
Dios ha prometido quitarnos el corazón de piedra. En el nuevo nacimiento, nacemos de nuevo y de repente sentimos que Dios nos ha dado un corazón de amor. El Espíritu Santo se derrama en nosotros y rebosamos de un amor sobrenatural por toda la humanidad. Es un bautismo del Espíritu Santo y parece que nuestros corazones han sido verdaderamente transformados por el poder de Dios, por el poder del Espíritu Santo de amor.
Pero con el paso del tiempo, los sentimientos de esos primeros momentos se pierden o se ven abrumados por nuestras deficiencias y pecados cotidianos que tan fácilmente nos asedian. El corazón transformado parece perder su suavidad. El corazón de carne se transforma lentamente en un corazón de piedra. Hasta que un día, otra ruptura, obra de Dios o del hombre, nos encuentra de rodillas implorando su ayuda, su intervención, su mano de salvación y rescate.
Una y otra vez pasamos por la ruptura, la reestructuración, la reconstrucción, la remodelación de nuestros corazones de piedra en las manos de nuestro Creador hasta que el Espíritu Santo finalmente toma plena posesión. Pero es un camino largo y tortuoso por el camino de la humildad, el camino del quebrantamiento, el camino de la sumisión, el camino del servicio a los demás, el camino de la entrega, el camino de la rendición.
Una vida transformada es una vida que se ha sometido al proceso de autoaniquilación, o a la muerte del yo. Una vida transformada es una vida altruista que ha sido rota y rehecha en las manos del Maestro Alfarero. En la vida transformada vemos lo que Dios puede hacer con una vasija totalmente entregada a su voluntad.
Pero tenemos que rendirnos. Tenemos que arrodillarnos y clamar a Dios para que nos salve y nos rehaga, para que nos transforme y para que siga eliminando la dureza de nuestro corazón, para que podamos amar como Él nos llama a amar. Es la historia del "Príncipe Feliz y la Golondrina", de Oscar Wilde. Solo al responder a la difícil situación de los pobres y necesitados, el corazón de piedra del príncipe se transforma en un corazón de carne. Su corazón se vuelve amor al despojarse de su manto dorado y compartir su riqueza con los necesitados. Tanto él como la golondrina encuentran la felicidad eterna en la muerte del yo y al abandonar sus mentiras por las necesidades de los demás.
Y así es la vida de un seguidor de Cristo. La vida cristiana está llena de rupturas y reconstrucciones, de sufrimiento y abandono, de ceder y perdonar, de empezar de cero una vez más. Si un hombre o una mujer está en Cristo, es una nueva criatura, una nueva creación. Las cosas viejas deben pasar, las viejas costumbres, los viejos pecados y hábitos deben ser olvidados y abandonados. He aquí, todo debe ser hecho nuevo, o nacer de nuevo en una nueva creación de Dios por el poder transformador del Espíritu Santo.
Ese poder transformador nos permite ser bondadosos, compasivos y perdonarnos mutuamente, así como Dios, por amor a Cristo, nos perdonó a cada uno. Y, sin embargo, caemos fácilmente de su gracia y dejamos que el pecado y la amargura entren, y la dureza se hace presente una vez más.
Pero debemos pelear la buena batalla de la fe y resistir al diablo. Debemos revestirnos de toda la armadura de Dios y ser guerreros firmes, tomando el escudo de la fe, la coraza de su justicia, el cinturón de la verdad y la espada del Espíritu, que es la palabra de Dios. Debemos herir al diablo en el corazón y vencer al adversario por la palabra de nuestro testimonio mediante la muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Él es la victoria que vence al mundo. Dejemos que Él nos transforme y nos haga nuevos una vez más. Él dice: «He aquí, yo hago nuevas todas las cosas».

“Dar-vos-ei um coração novo e porei um espírito novo dentro de vós. Removerei de vós o coração de pedra e dar-vos-ei um coração de carne.”
Deus prometeu remover de nós os nossos corações de pedra. No novo nascimento, nascemos de novo e, de repente, sentimos como se Deus nos tivesse dado um coração de amor. O Espírito Santo derrama-se sobre nós e transbordamos de um amor sobrenatural por toda a humanidade. É um batismo do Espírito Santo e parece que os nossos corações foram verdadeiramente transformados pelo poder de Deus, pelo poder do Espírito Santo do amor.
Mas, com o passar do tempo, os sentimentos desses primeiros momentos perdem-se ou são sufocados pelas nossas falhas e pecados diários que tão facilmente nos afligem. O coração transformado parece perder a sua suavidade. O coração de carne regressa lentamente a um coração de pedra. Até que um dia, outra quebra, pela mão de Deus ou do homem, nos encontra de joelhos, implorando a Sua ajuda, a Sua intervenção, a Sua mão de salvação e resgate.
Deus prometeu remover de nós o coração de pedra. Repetidamente, passamos por quebras, reconstruções, recriações e remodelações dos nossos corações de pedra nas mãos do nosso Criador, até que o Espírito Santo finalmente tome posse por completo. Mas é uma longa e sinuosa caminhada para a humildade, o caminho do quebrantamento, o caminho da submissão, o caminho do serviço ao próximo, o caminho da entrega.
Uma vida transformada é uma vida que se submeteu ao processo de auto-aniquilação, ou à morte do eu. Uma vida transformada é uma vida altruísta que foi quebrada e recriada nas mãos do Mestre Oleiro. Na vida transformada, vemos o que Deus pode fazer com um vaso totalmente entregue à Sua vontade.
Mas precisamos de nos entregar. Precisamos de nos ajoelhar e clamar a Deus para que nos salve e nos recrie, para que nos transforme e continue a remover a dureza dos nossos corações, para que possamos amar como Ele nos chama a amar.
É a história do "Príncipe Feliz e a Andorinha", de Oscar Wilde. Só ao responder ao sofrimento dos pobres e dos necessitados é que o coração de pedra do príncipe se transforma num coração de carne. O seu coração volta-se para o amor quando se desfaz da sua capa dourada e partilha a sua riqueza com os necessitados. Tanto ele como a andorinha encontram a felicidade eterna na morte do egoísmo e no abandono das suas mentiras em prol das necessidades dos outros.
E assim é a vida de um seguidor de Cristo. A vida cristã está repleta de ruturas e reconstruções, de sofrimento e abandono, de entrega e perdão, de recomeçar do zero. Se alguém está em Cristo, é uma nova criatura, uma nova criação. As coisas velhas devem passar, os velhos costumes, os velhos pecados e hábitos devem ser esquecidos e abandonados. Eis que tudo deve ser feito novo – ou nascer de novo para uma nova criação de Deus pelo poder transformador do Espírito Santo.
Este poder transformador capacita-nos para sermos bondosos uns para com os outros, compassivos, perdoando-nos mutuamente, tal como Deus, por amor a Cristo, perdoou cada um de nós. Contudo, com tanta facilidade nos afastamos da Sua graça e deixamos o pecado e a amargura entrarem, e a dureza se faz presente novamente.
Mas devemos combater o bom combate da fé e resistir ao diabo. Devemos vestir toda a armadura de Deus e ser guerreiros firmes, empunhando o escudo da fé, a couraça da Sua justiça, o cinto da verdade e a espada do Espírito, que é a palavra de Deus. Devemos ferir o diabo até ao coração e vencer o adversário pela palavra do nosso testemunho, através da morte e ressurreição de Jesus Cristo. Ele é a vitória que vence o mundo. Deixemos que Ele nos transforme e nos faça novos mais uma vez. Ele diz: "Eis que faço novas todas as coisas".

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within
you. I will remove your heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of
flesh.”
God has promised to remove from us our hearts of stone. At
the new birth, we are born again and suddenly we feel like God has given us the
heart of love. The Holy Spirit pours itself into us and we overflow with a
supernatural love for all mankind. It’s a baptism of the Holy Spirit and it
seems our hearts have been truly transformed by the power of God, by the power
of the Holy Spirit of love.
But as time goes by, so the feelings of those first moments
are lost or overwhelmed in our daily shortcomings and sins which so easily
beset us. The transformed heart seems to lose its softness. The heart of flesh
slowly reverts back to a heart of stone. Until one day another breaking by the
hand of God or man finds us on our knees begging Him for His help, His
intervention, His hand of salvation and rescue.
Over and over again we go through the breakings, the
retooling, the remaking, the reshaping of our hearts of stone in the hands of
our Maker until the Holy Spirit finally takes full possession. But it is a long
and winding road down the path of humility, the path of brokenness, the path of
submission, the path of service to others, the path of yieldedness, the path of
surrender.
A life transformed is a life that has submitted itself to
the process of self-annihilation, or to the death of self. A transformed life
is a selfless life that has been broken and remade in the Master Potter’s
hands. In the transformed life we see what God can do to a vessel totally
yielded to His will.
But we have got to do the yielding. We have got to get down on our hands and knees and call out to God to save us and remake us, to transform us, and to continue to remove the hardness from within our hearts, that we might be able to love as He would call us to love.
It's the story of
the “Happy Prince and the Swallow,” by Oscar Wilde. Only by responding to the plight
of the poor and needy is the stony heart of the prince transformed into a heart
of flesh. His heart turns to love as he sheds his golden covering and shares
its wealth with those in need. Both he and the swallow find eternal happiness
in death to self and in laying down their lies for the needs of others.
And so is the life of a follower of Christ. The Christian
life is full of breakings, and remaking, of suffering and forsaking, of yielding
and forgiving, of starting over from scratch once again. If any man or woman be
in Christ, they are a new creature, a new creation. Old things must pass away,
old ways, the old sins and habits must be forgotten and abandoned. Behold, all
must be made new – or be born again into a new creation of God by the
transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
That transforming power enables us to be kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sakes has forgiven each one of us. And yet we so easily fall from His grace and let sin and bitterness enter, and the hardness is present once again.
But we must
fight the good fight of faith and resist the devil. We must put on the whole armour
of God and be steadfast warriors taking the shield of faith, the breastplate of
His righteousness, the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit which is the
word of God. We must cut the devil to the heart and overcome the adversary by
the word of our testimony through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He
is the victory that overcomes the world. Let Him transform us and make us new
once again. He says, "Behold, I make all things new."
Following is a cartoon rendition of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince.

From Derek Sloan's Facebook Page on Covid Related Sudden Infant Deaths
Derek Sloan, Conservative
Police Detective Helen Grus Disciplined for Asking Questions RE: COVID Vaxx and Infant Deaths!
Det. Grus has made waves and headlines in Canada for being investigated and found guilty of discreditable conduct for apparently raising questions about an increase in sudden infant deaths (SUDI) after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and wondering whether the two are linked.
According to Helen, she saw evidence indicating infant deaths were tripling, and she took steps to look into it further. As a police officer responsible for investigating sexual assault and child abuse crimes, it was part of her job to investigate unexplained deaths of children under 5. It was entirely within her purview to investigate and be concerned about infant deaths.
In the course of her inquiry, she asked one parent of a sudden death infant the mother's vaccination status. Shortly after this, Detective Grus had to leave work for a period of time due to vaccine mandates at the Ottawa Police Service. During this time, a story and accusation grew which claimed she accessed and printed police records on these sudden deaths for personal reasons. This led to an investigation, and a long drawn-out hearing and disciplinary process which has been exceptionally challenging and damaging to Det Grus.
According to Detective Grus (and other witnesses), police access the records system frequently, and are able to initiate investigations on their own, therefore she feels this investigation and charge against her are unnecessary and unwarranted.
Apparently, any questions countering "the narrative" of "safe and effective" have to be silenced and punished. Given that infant safety and government negligence are potential factors at play, this is very troubling.
She was notified of this investigation on Feb 4, 2022, and it has been dragging on since then, with multiple court appearances providing testimony, legal arguments, introduction of evidence, et cetera.
Det. Grus was already found guilty of discreditable conduct in March of this year. She recently had a hearing related to the determination of her penalty. Later this week I have a brand-new interview with Det. Grus with all the details on this hearing.
Detective Grus is a brave and principled Detective who attempted to follow the evidence, and many believe she is being penalized for it. In fact, this disciplinary proceeding has cost Detective Grus well over 100k to defend. Please click below to support her case, and her courage today.

Detective Helen Grus has been a police officer for 23 years. From 2016, she was a detective in the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit with the Ottawa Police Service, Det. Grus observed an increase in infant deaths following the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccines. As a result, Det. Grus began a probative inquiry which included accessing reports held in the police database and, in one instance, contacting the parents of a deceased child to enquire about the mother’s vaccination status.
As part of the SACA (Sexual Assault Child Abuse) unit, their mandate is to investigate all sudden and unexpected child deaths of children under the age of five. These investigations are crucial and mandated by law.
Shortly after the COVID rollout in January 2022, a colleague of hers told her: "I don't know what's going on but we've had a doubling/tripling of baby deaths in SACA". This was significant and concerned both Detective Grus and her colleague.
Later that week in January 0f 2022, she had a town hall meeting scheduled with the police chief and others related to the vaccine mandates that were coming down for the police force on January 21st, 2022. The increase in baby deaths was on her mind, and Detective Grus went into the record system to see if the increase was true. She knew there were typically 2-3 SUDI (sudden infant deaths) deaths annually that the police investigated. In 2021 there were 7 cases. She wanted to go through the records to look at the circumstances of the deaths so she could be prepared to raise the issue at her upcoming meeting.
She mentioned the increase at her meeting with the Chief, and advised that while she was unsure of what the cause was, one variable that was new was the COVID vaccine rollout.
The next week she was listening to a Toronto Public health meeting where Dan Hartman spoke, and he spoke of his son Sean Hartman, who a month after receiving the Pfizer vaccine ended up dead. She says the autopsy results for Sean showed he had myocarditis and an enlarged heart. This reminded her of an autopsy on a baby who also had an enlarged heart.
She reached out to the detective covering that case to ask if the mother had the COVID shot. The detective said he had not asked, and dismissed the concerns.
She also noted that two babies died in a way she had never seen before in her 20 year career. Two parents had picked up their babies to feed them, and they died in their arms. She says this sent shivers down her spine.
On Jan 31, 2022, the day before Det Grus was about to be sent home on leave without pay (for the vaccine mandate) she had a short conversation with the father of the baby with the enlarged heart where she inquired about the mother's vaccine status. She was sent home on leave without pay on Feb 1, 2022 due to vaccine mandates being imposed on all Ottawa Police Service members who did not disclose their vaccine status, or who were not fully vaccinated.
Three days later she was told she was being suspended for accessing police records for "personal reasons". She made it very clear she was accessing it to gather statistics to bring to her meeting with the Chief and other executive members, but that made no difference.
Detective Grus' lawyer believes rumours were circulated alleging she used the police records database for personal reasons, which culminated in a suspension on allegations of insubordination. In March of 2022, confidential information was leaked to CBC and the smear campaign continued. Her lawyer calls it a "pack of lies". When the investigator spoke to Detective Grus in the spring of 2022 she was told she was being charged with discreditable conduct based on what was written in the CBC articles!
She made it clear all the information she accessed was in the course of her duties. I asked Detective Grus how common it is for police officers to access the records management system has part of their job. She said "in the course of their job, [officers] access records every day multiple times." She mentioned it is encouraged for officers to access records just to look through them and learn if they have nothing else to do.
Detective Grus' lawyer states that from a legal point of view there is no explanation for this misconduct charge. She says misconduct charges are for negligence. Detective Grus, she says, was trying to protect the public and preserve life.
In my opinion, this investigation makes no sense. Detective Grus raised questions that could have implicated various government agencies, and the entire vaccine rollout, and it seems the department wanted no part of this politically charged situation. In the opinion of many, they preferred to punish and silence Detective Grus instead of doing the appropriate investigations.
The website policeonguard.ca explains their position on the Police tribunal which convicted Det Grus of discreditable conduct: "[the] Police Services Act Tribunal is much different from a criminal or provincial court, so much so that in policing jargon and inner circles it’s often referred to as a “kangaroo” court. The arbiters of the court are members of the very organization that have accused the defendant of wrongdoing."
Detective Grus' name and reputation have been irreparably damaged, and she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending herself these past few years through this so-called "kangaroo court". Please click below to support her fight. Not only is she out significant sums of money - she also will be appealing this ruling!

As I was told by Det. Grus' lawyer, Bath-sheba van den Berg, she attempted to submit multiple affidavits in her favour in an attempt to mitigate the penalty. There were a huge number of positive affidavits from people all over Canada. Part of the determination of penalty involves assessing the public perception of the police service, and so Det. Grus brought in many affidavits from members of the public. As I was told, the prosecution has been attempting to exclude this evidence.
According to Bath-sheba, the tribunal found Det. Grus guilty of discreditable conduct in March 2025, and "that decision was replete with errors of law, errors of mixed law and fact, and misapprehension of the evidence. Conclusions are being made...that aren't even based on evidence on the record. It's incredibly concerning."
They will be appealing this decision, but right now, they're in the midst of the penalty hearing to determine what her penalty will be.
My upcoming interview details various other shenanigans and inappropriate courtroom decorum exhibited by the other side.
As stated by Donald Best, a former police officer on the website Police on Guard for Thee:
"The case of Detective Helen Grus is no longer just about one officer. It is about whether police in Canada remain free to follow the evidence wherever it leads – or whether politics now dictates which crimes can be investigated, and which cannot.
The Tribunal’s written decision has established a dangerous and far-reaching precedent: that police officers must seek permission before investigating potential crimes involving government officials or matters with “political and societal ramifications.” This strikes at the very heart of police independence and the rule of law."
I have a brand new interview with Det. Grus coming out soon - so stay tuned...In my opinion, the government has tried to snuff out courage and tenacity wherever it has appeared these last few years.
This needs to end. Please support Det. Grus in her fight to maintain her reputation, and fight for police independence in conducting inquiries and investigations.
God bless!
Proverbs 30 - King James Version
Proverbs 30 King James Version
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou can tell?
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou can tell?
Right here in Proverbs 30 we see the prophet questioning who is the Divine Being with immeasurable power to create. He asks, "What is His name? And what is His Son's name?" Do you mean the idea of the Creator Being having a Son is found even in the Proverbs of the Old Testament? Can God of the Old Testament have a Son?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

11 There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
The only way we can be washed from our filthiness is by being washed in the blood of the Lamb. It is the blood of Christ slain from the foundations of the world that covers our sin and through it we receive His mercy. The Good News is that God's mercy has been spread abroad through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 The horseleach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that says not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou have done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou have thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

First thing in the morning, before you talk to anybody,
listen to the still small voice of God. “Thy voice shall I hear in the morning.
I will direct my prayer unto You and will look up.”
You’re not going to make it unless you learn to fine tune
your hearing, to a tune yourself to listen to My still small voice. There are
many voice saying which way to go. Some say “here” and some say “there.” In the
mad rush to get things done, the wrong voice may be perceived as being Mine.
Slow down. Go slow. Let the urgency subside and the
confusion lift. Stop, look, and listen. Let My gentle voice break through like
the first rays of the early sunlight break upon and enlighten the darkness.
Calm yourself down through praise and thanksgiving. That’s
how you enter into My presence with
praise and thanksgiving. They are the keys that unlock the door and allow you
to enter in. Lift up your voice with a song, a verse, a word of praise and be
thankful.
It’s the enemy of your soul that encourages you to rush,
rush, rush, saying, “You don’t have time to stop,” But I’m calling you to, “Stop
and Look and Listen,” before you get run over. I’m calling you to tap into the
power, the power of My Holy Spirit, the power of God within you. But you must
slow it down. You must go slow. By going slow you get there faster.
It is in the still quiet of the morning watch, when the due
is still upon the roses and the voice of the morning birds is heard chirping in
the early morning sunlight, that My voice can be heard gently, softly, quietly,
yet surely calling you, saying, “This is the way walk you in it, when you turn
to the left, and when you turn to the right,”
In the quietness of the early moments, you can gain the
confidence and the strength you’ll need for the day by tapping into Me, the
source of all wisdom, strength, love, and knowledge. Don’t neglect those early
morning rises. They were once sacred to the early reformers, the early
pioneers, and to many of my followers down through the ages.
I rose a great while before it was day to get alone with My Father. I am reminding you, that you must do the same. It is in the quiet early moments that you will hear My still small voice and know the way wherein you must walk. Be still and you will hear My voice rise above the confusion. Be still and know that I am God, and that there is none beside Me. I will be exalted in the earth. I will be exalted before the nations. Let your heart exalt Me today. Be still.
Acknowledge Me and all will be well.

Proverbs 29
Proverbs 29 King James Version
1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
4 The king by judgment establishes the land: but he that receives gifts overthrows it.
5 A man that flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11 A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearkens to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lightens both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understands he will not answer.
20 Do you see a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing, and bewrays it not.
25 The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment comes from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
The Daily Voice - December 29. 2025
Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain you. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and are safe. Who are the righteous? The righteous are those who trust not in their own righteousness to save them, but trust in Me, Jesus, the Christ, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. These are the righteous who have no righteousness of their own, but have cast themselves wholly on the mercy and goodness of God to save them.
It is not in me. It is not in me. It is only in Him! It's only through the blood of Christ slain on Calvary that we are sanctified, purified, cleansed, washed in His redeeming blood. I have been washed in His blood and He has cleansed me of my guiltiness. I have taken on the righteousness of God found in Christ. I have put on my wedding garment and am clothed in the righteousness of the saints which is in Christ.
For God made Him to be sin who knew no sin that the righteousness which is in God and is in Him might be transported to those that believe. We have put on the righteousness which is in Christ and stand on His righteousness. Not by works of righteousness that we have done has He saved us, but according to His mercy. We look unto the cross and are saved.
"Mercy, Lord Napoleon, Mercy," said the mother of the lad who had fled from the battle and had been found guilty of cowardness and deserving of the death penalty.
"But, Madame, He doesn't deserve mercy," replied Napoleon.
"Very well, Sire, but mercy would not be called mercy if it was deserved."
And so she won Napoleon's mercy, undeserved forgiveness for her son's sin of abandoning the battle and running in cowardness.
We have all abandoned our position and have run in cowardness. We have all fallen short of the glory of God in a grievous way. But God has given us a way of escape, a way to receive His mercy. He Himself came into the world, born of a virgin, fulfilling the ancient prophecies since the Garden of Eden. The Seed of the woman would come and would destroy the head of the Serpent. It is for this reason the Serpent is mad, because he knows he has but a little time.
We, too, have but a little time, but enough time to fall upon our knees in humble submission to Him who offers us His mercy. We can accept the Messiah Man into our hearts that He might blot out all our transgressions and remove them far from us; that we might receive the righteousness which is by faith in Him and that His righteousness might be born in us today. "Cast out our sin and enter in. Be born in us today."
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. Let Christ be born in you today!

Proverbs 28
Proverbs 28 King James Version
1 The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
Our understanding comes from seeking the Lord. "You shall seek and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart." "Seek and you shall find."
6 Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
6 Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoso keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
Here is the key to success. Don't cover your sins. Confess them, apologize. Make things right. If you do so, you shall receive mercy. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:8-9.
14 Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22 He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoso robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.
26 He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that gives unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
14 Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

Broken things. God uses broken things. God is in the
business of breaking and remaking. Moses had to smash the rock before the
waters of refreshing could pour forth and revive the people. David had to fall
from the pinnacle of fame and success in order that God remake him into a
better vessel, a more broken vessel, a more compassionate vessel, so that he might be a nursing father.
Moses was the meekest of all men. Moses had a stammer. But
God took that weak and broken vessel and used it to transform a nation. But it
took years of breakings. 40 years in the wilderness taking care of his father-in-law’s
sheep until his ear was tuned to hear the still small voice of God, and his
heart was submitted enough to obey by faith and do what the voice was
indicating.
Over and over again in the Bible we see that God uses broken
and yielded vessels, but the rich and the proud He sends away empty. Despise
not the days of little broken things. God is in the business of taking broken
things and remaking them into more useful vessels, perhaps, less beautiful in
the eyes of the world, but useful in His service.
Think of Franny Crosby, Hellen Keller, George Washington
Carver, and the many other handicapped or underprivileged people, God has used
to show that God resides in the presence of a humble heart, a broken life. The
Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart and saves such as be of a
contrite spirit. The sacrifices of the Lord are of a broken spirit, a broken
and contrite heart, O God, You shall not despise.
He takes the solitary and sets them in families. He has put
down the mighty and has exalted them that are of low degree. For the High and
Holy One that dwells in eternity, whose name is Holy, lives in the High and
Holy place, and with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to
revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Be broken. Let God take you and remake you and shake you and bake you, until you come out a finer vessel, more fit for the Master’s use.
