Proverbs 23:12 Effort spent to understand and apply the Word of God transforms your life.

One of the great mysteries of the human condition is the depravity of man's heart.  This is why we continuously see war and misery throughout the history of mankind.  God has declared that man's heart is "deceitful and desperately wicked, and who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9).  Today's proverb opens the door to the solution!  Did you know that God has promised to CHANGE the hearts of those who will listen to His Word and work to understand and apply it?  Think about that for a moment.  God has promised that He will change our heart!  This promise is found in Ezekiel 36:25-27 and throughout the Bible. You may be set in your ways, but God wants to change your heart!  You may believe that you are only human and bound by human desires, but God wants to change your heart!  How does this happen?  How do you unleash this power into your life?  Proverbs 23:12 describes how to get started.

Proverbs 30:11-14 Pursue God, allow Him to cleanse you or be counted with those who believe that their way is right!

These verses from Proverbs 11 form a prophetic warning for our generation.   The Bible actually has more to say about the time in which we live than any other time period in human history!  There are two important things to note about the time in which we live: 

1)  the wickedness of mankind will spiral out of control, and

2)  many people will not recognize their need to have their heart cleansed. 

This generation is "pure in its own eyes" and is "not washed from its filthiness".  Jesus left us a directive for this hour, "be not deceived". There is only one way to escape the chaos and deception of this generation, we must pursue God and allow Him to cleanse us.  Those who refuse to do this will be counted with the crowd that believes that their way is right.  For more information on this generation, please see this Parable Power article: A World In Chaos
