Virtue in the Bible
A gracious woman is respected, but a woman without virtue is a disgrace. Lazy people will never have money, but aggressive people will get rich.
Proverbs 19:11 GNTA
If you are sensible, you will control your temper. When someone wrongs you, it is a great virtue to ignore it.
Additions to Esther 10:2 GNTA
His power and virtue, as well as the wealth and splendor of his empire, are recorded in the official records of the kings of Persia and Media.
Wisdom 4:1 GNTA
It is better to have virtue, even if it means having no children. Your virtue will be recognized by other people and by God, and you will be remembered for it forever.
Wisdom 4:2 GNTA
Virtue provides an example for people to follow; when it is not there, they
miss it. It has always been the finest prize a person can win, and it
always will be so. It is the noblest of all the good qualities a person
can have.
Wisdom 5:13 GNTA
It is the same with us - we were born, and then we ceased to be. We left no sign of virtue behind us; we were destroyed by our wickedness."

Hearing and obeying
Acts 7:51-53
Stephen said to the people, the elders, and the scribes:
“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears,
you always oppose the Holy Spirit;
you are just like your ancestors.
Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute?
They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one,
whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.
You received the law as transmitted by angels,
but you did not observe it.”
Observations
We might be knowing so much about God and about what we ought to be doing but not doing them(stiff-necked people).
Sometimes we are not even able to hear what God is telling us.
Lesson
There is a way we need to be treated so that we can first hear and then be able to obey God's Word.We need to be healed in our minds,hearts and ears so that we can hear and obey God's Word all the time.
Prayer
Oo Lord God,we humbly ask your precious blood to heal our minds,hearts and ears so that we can hearers and doers of your Word for your own glory,in Jesus Name we pray,AMEN.

Advice-Caught up
Phil 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things".
The above scripture caught me when i wanted to revenge on something someone has been doing to me that was not very pleasing.Thank you Lord for you have sent your word to heal us and show us a way.
May God bless us all
