(All scripture from Lexham English Bible, Copyright 2012 Logos Bible Software)
Chapter eighteen is about our attitudes and how our words transform our circumstances. Either we use them to plug into the reality God says we have access to, or we use them to plug into the reality that the devil says we deserve. Our words are always a reflection of what’s in our hearts.
Chapter nineteen is about the improvements which appear in our lives as we plug into God’s Word and promises. When we do the godly things He instructs us to, so many good things happen. When we don’t, ruin awaits us.
Chapter twenty is a compare and contrast illustrating the principles of the last two chapters.
Chapter twenty-one is about the value in adjusting ourselves to align with God. To get into our hearts HIS point of view and choose to accept it as our own.
Chapter twenty-two is in two pieces. The first part is a forward looking compare and contrast, showing the future of a person based on how godly or ungodly they choose to act, speak, and think. The second part is the first seven of thirty sayings of wise people. These are thirty principles of wise living that transform our lives from simply living to living according to how God says we can live. They are undeniable positive seeds that will produce a harvest in your life every time.
