In the book of Proverbs Solomon said, “He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy”, and in chapter twenty-eight and verse fourteen of Proverbs Solomon said, “happy is the man that fears always” where we read,
Happy is the man that fears always:
but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
The verse begins, “Happy is the man that fears always:” Solomon began with the words, “happy is the man” or “blessed exists the person whether male or female” “that fears always” which means “who trembles, reveres, dreads and is in awe unto continuity, perpetually and at all times”. Solomon said the person who is in awe and reveres at all times is blessed.
The verse goes on to say, “but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.” Solomon continued with the words, “but he that hardens his heart” or “however, nonetheless, notwithstanding and moreover the person whether male or female who makes harsh, severe, ill-treated, burdensome and stubborn their soul, mind, will, desires, living being, conscience and seat of emotions and affections” “shall fall into mischief” which means “will be prostrated, cast down and made to descend into bad, disagreeableness, malignancy and displeasure”. Solomon said the person with a stubborn and harsh soul, mind and will descend into malignancy and trouble.
When we meditate upon the words in this verse, we learn through Solomon that there is a difference between the person who has awe and reverence for Jehovah God and the person who descends into trouble because they have stubborn souls. God wants to redeem every person from harsh souls, and He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind to make that possible. When we yield to Him as our personal “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and bless us as we give Him reverence and awe at all times.
Next time Solomon shares how a “wicked ruler” is like, “a roaring lion, and a ranging bear”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Itua brought back my husband that separated with me for a good 3 months. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank Doctor Itua for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out, not until I meant Doctor Itua who I contacted online,I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 72 hours as long as my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he cast a spell on my husband and called me exactly when Doctor Itua said he will call.He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 3year. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him...Email:dr.ituaspellhome236@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2349126777970
