Overcomer's Confession
Strength 13: FAITHFULNESS
Focus: Genesis 41:1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
Joseph continued faithful for two full years after he helped the Chief Butler.
Sometimes people forget, but God will never forget you.
God has a plan for my life, and has not forgotten me. His timing is perfect. I trust Him with my present circumstances and with my future.
Truth: Do not be weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap if you faint not. Joseph continued to serve faithfully for another two years beyond his hope of being released.
1
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
But a scoffer does not listen
to rebuke.
2 A man shall
eat well by the fruit of his mouth,
But the soul of the unfaithful
feeds on violence.
3 He who guards
his mouth preserves his life,
But he who opens wide
his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of
a lazy man desires, and has nothing;
But the soul of the diligent
shall be made rich.
5 A righteous
man hates lying,
But a wicked man is loathsome
and comes to shame.
6 Righteousness
guards him whose way is blameless,
But wickedness overthrows the
sinner.
7 There is one
who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
And one who makes himself
poor, yet has great riches.
8 The ransom of
a man’s life is his riches,
But the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of
the righteous rejoices,
But the lamp of the wicked will
be put out.
10 By pride comes
nothing but strife,
But with the well-advised is
wisdom.
11 Wealth gained
by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor
will increase.
12 Hope deferred
makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes,
it is a tree of life.
13 He who despises
the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment
will be rewarded.
14 The law of
the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from
the snares of death.
15 Good understanding
gains favor,
But the way of the unfaithful
is hard.
16 Every prudent
man acts with knowledge,
But a fool lays open his
folly.
17 A wicked messenger
falls into trouble,
But a faithful ambassador brings
health.
18 Poverty and
shame will come to him who disdains correction,
But he who regards a rebuke
will be honored.
19 A desire accomplished
is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination
to fools to depart from evil.
20 He who walks
with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will
be destroyed.
21 Evil pursues
sinners,
But to the righteous, good shall
be repaid.
22 A good man
leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But the wealth of the sinner
is stored up for the righteous.
23 Much food is
in the fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there
is waste.[a]
24 He who spares
his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines
him promptly.
25 The righteous
eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked
shall be in want.
