BASIC SCRIPTURES: ROMANS 12:1-3;
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. BASIC SCRIPTURES: 16 March 2024
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
PROVERBS 22:1-5
22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.”
Proverbs 22:1-5 (NIV)
“1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. 2 Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. 3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. 4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. 5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.”
Encouragement: In Romans 12:1-3, the apostle Paul urges believers to offer themselves as living sacrifices to God, emphasizing the transformation that comes from renewing the mind and aligning with God’s will. The passage emphasizes humility, recognizing the grace given to each believer and avoiding arrogance.
Proverbs 22:1-5 imparts wisdom about the value of a good reputation, the Lord’s role as the Maker of all people, the importance of prudence and taking refuge, the benefits of humility as the fear of the Lord, and the potential dangers in the paths of the wicked. BASIC SCRIPTURES: 16 March 2024
