Today's hidden Bible message comes to us from Proverbs 15-17...

Discipline...and destruction...of the oppressed...with the fear of the Lord...then great wealth...(The suffering and passing of those oppressed who have a fear of the Lord brings them great wealth in their salvation)
The sluggard...a foolish man...has understanding...but fails for lack of counsel...(He of no or weak faith thinks to have understanding but fails for lack of the Good Counselor Jesus)
A straight course...with advisers then they succeed...(Walking a straight path with spiritual advisers and you will succeed)
Boundary...Words...in His sight...(Guilt and sin offering in His sight at the Boundary, the crossing from physical to spiritual realm)
The Lord detests the wicked...
Gracious words...bring ruin to...one who bribes...but of the mouth...of the wicked...is far from...(Words of grace spoken to those who bribe brings ruin to them and is far from the mouths of the wicked)
He causes...honest scales...a king's...favor...(The Lord uses honest scales at the Judgment which is a favor of the King)
Much better to get wisdom...in their lives...before destruction...(Much better tho to get wisdom before passing)
To be lowly in spirit...to share...and be blessed...(To be lowly in spirit and still share, helping others is a blessing to your soul)
The one who trusts in the Lord...is a fountain of life.......Their lips promote...sweet...words to the soul...
There is a way...in the end...(There is a way to the Light in the end)
A perverse person...pursues...a crown of splendor...but...is a dry crust...full of strife...and will share...the furnace...
(A perverse person seeks a self-made crown/riches/titles/power, but it is like a dry crust of unleavened bread full of strife and emptiness, chaos and destruction and they will fall to the fire)
A wicked person...who gloats over...eloquent lips... is a fool...(A wicked person who is full of self-aggrandizement, self-promotion, thinks themselves great and above others and praises themselves is a fool)
Evildoers...rebuke against GOD.........Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs...(Go against GOD and it will not be pleasant)
Evil will...fool those with money...(Those with wealth are fooled by the darkness)
Why should fools have money.... for cannot buy wisdom...when they cannot understand it...
Whoever loves...builds a high gate...for a child...of a cheerful heart...(Love builds for yourself a heavenly gate for a child of a cheerful heart as He said, "Come to me as little children.")

When the road seems difficult and full of hardship trust in Him for He will help you.  He at times, being the potter, breaks down His sculpture some to create a better sculpture.  He remolds us to enable us to handle what lay ahead and to better serve Him.  For example, say He needs you to carry a heavy load to help others yet you are full of flaws emotionally or physically, so He has to reform you and rid you of the flaws.  Sometimes He delays you so you can avoid an obstacle or hazard ahead for He sees the road ahead where we do not have the sight.  As He said, "Let me transform the way you think." 
Let Him transform you in all ways.

Direct me in the path of your commands for there I find delight...Psalm 119:35

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you...Psalm 32:8

Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life...Psalm 143:8

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I AM strong....2 Corinthians 12:9-10

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
