All throughout Proverbs we see that God promises to bless those who fear Him, those who choose wisdom, and walk uprightly before Him. These are the kind of people that enjoy the abundant life that Jesus talked about in John 10:10 which says,
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Others around them recognize this work in them as a work of God! Can people see that work in you? Let’s take a look at some of the rewards of living faithfully for the Lord.

A Muzzle on My Mouth
I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence.”
But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased.
My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated,the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
“Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man’s life is but a breath. Selah
