Today, we\\u2019re diving into Proverbs 14:22-28 from the New Living Translation. These verses provide profound insights for living a life that aligns with the principles of the Bible. So, lace up your hiking boots as we delve into the wisdom of Proverbs. VERSE 22: \\u201cIf you plan to do evil, you will be lost; if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.\\u201d This verse underscores the power of our intentions. It teaches us that evil intentions lead to destruction, while good intentions are rewarded with love and faithfulness. So, what\\u2019s the solution to this? Choose Good Intentions: Make a conscious decision to plan and act with good intentions. Your heart\\u2019s posture matters, and it has a profound impact on your life\\u2019s outcomes.
