Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
I have been reading Proverbs this month. Actually, studying it. I like to pause and think about a verse like this one until I know it (Consider memorizing it).
When people read the word perish, many think of hell. For me that is only part of the meaning, I see struggling Christians living a perishing lifestyle all the time.
Instead, live a prospering lifestyle by having a vision for doing the things that overcoming Christians do. Consider working daily on the habit of having a vision for quitting. Consider spending 3 minutes daily meditating on your vision for quitting.
Why should we make it such a huge priority? Because, “He that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
Why have a quitting notebook that you work on daily as if it is one of the most important things you do? Because, we want to be happy.
Please memorize at least the last half of this verse. What if Christians were happy? How fast would the church grow?
When Christians are happy they often do God’s will. Why? Because, happy people want to lift up and help others.
It’s verses like this one that have inspired me to reread Proverbs as soon as I finish it. Great wisdom in this book. What will you change to try to increase in happiness?
