July 6 Scripture Meditations Based on Proverbs 29

Key Verse – Proverbs 29:13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LIGHTENING MY EYES

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your wisdom-illumination
In reproving me against sins’ manifestation
To make me righteous midst iniquities’ abomination…
So I can rejoice in Your assured salvation.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your justice-holiness
In sanctifying me against worldliness’ filthiness
To make me clean midst corruption’s wickedness…
So I can repent through Your abounding forgiveness.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your vision-purity
In guarding me against defilements’ infirmity
To make me virtuous midst chastity’s uncertainty…
So I can stand by Your upholding integrity.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your goodness-grace
In separating me against poverty’s trace
To make me contented midst scarcity’s brace…
So I can continue through Your directing rays.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your kindness-beholding
In protecting me against heart’s backsliding
To make me steadfast midst pride’s unfolding…
So I can follow Your instructive commanding.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your authority-leadership
In guiding me against critics’ friendship
To make me obedient midst stewardship’s partnership…
So I can delight in Your sweet fellowship.

Thank You for lightening my eyes with Your truth-mercy
In providing for me against needs’ insufficiency
To make me blessed midst prayer’s fervency…
So I can persevere by Your faithful clemency.
