Be Established

Lady of Light

How do we truly "establish" ourselves and the things we are doing to fulfill our purpose in life? In Proverbs 12:1-4 we get a clue about this:

"Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved."

So the answer is that we need to do good - to find favor with God - and live with the root of righteousness in our life. We can do this by accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, reading God's word and praying. The bible also speaks of overcoming evil with good.

In the Psalms, David often complains that it seems as if the wicked are successful or gaining victory at times. It may appear that way, but God condemns the wicked according to these verses in Proverbs.

Pray and ask God to establish you in all the good you do for his honor and glory and you will find that your life will take on new direction and meaning.

God Bless you and have a great day!
