How Proverbs 11, Presence, and a Relationship with God Can Turn Everyday Moments into Divine ResultsDiscover how to breathe, be present, and stop being an idiot through the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 11. This faith-based episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas explores how presence, righteousness, and divine wisdom build true success, not just seasonal happiness.As the holidays approach—a time that can feel joyful for some and heavy for others—Kelly invites you to pause, inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. These simple breaths anchor you in the now, reminding you to love those in front of you and savor every second before it’s gone.From a personal revelation sparked by God’s humor (“Don’t be an idiot”) to an in-depth look at how faith becomes a profession, not a pastime, Kelly breaks down the genius behind Proverbs 11. The blueprint? Honesty. Integrity. Humility. Truth. When we pursue righteousness, we gain protection, wisdom, discernment, prosperity, and peace.Inchstones in this episode:Faith isn’t a hobby—it’s a professional practice that brings real value.Presence produces results; distraction destroys them.Proverbs 11 is the path from foolishness to divine genius.Root yourself in righteousness, lift your head toward heaven, and remember: a person who produces results is no idiot—they’re a genius in God’s eyes.

God’s timing, humor, and consistency are too perfect to miss. This episode dives deep into the divine alignment between Scripture, music, and memory—showing that you can’t make this stuff up. When songs from Maverick City Music—“Too Good to Not Believe,” “Refiner,” and “Kingdom” featuring the lyric “Do you wanna know what Heaven looks like? It’s looking like me and you”—randomly shuffled into my quiet time, it felt like heaven itself was speaking.In this powerful reflection, I share how Proverbs 10, my parents’ timeless wisdom, and a “random” playlist all collided to prove one truth: God’s consistency is undefeated. Verse after verse reminds us that righteousness brings joy, diligence beats laziness, and wisdom invites discipline. My mom used to say, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,” and my pops would remind me, “Boy, you’re the greatest—so act accordingly.” Turns out, they were echoing what God wrote 3,000 years ago.💡 Key Takeaways from Proverbs 10:Honor your parents by listening and applying (v.1)Diligence + prudence = success (v.4–5, 26)Integrity creates security (v.9)Speaking life is an unfair advantage (v.11, 13, 18–21, 31–32)Wisdom stores up knowledge (v.14)Love is the ultimate power play (v.12)Righteousness brings joy and protection (v.28–30)This is what heaven looks like—it’s looking like me and you, refined by fire, purified by love, and strengthened by faith. God doesn’t just call us; He gives us the answers to the test. His consistency is not coincidence—it’s confirmation.✨ Watch now to experience how God speaks through timing, humor, and everyday moments.If you’ve ever doubted that God sees you, this episode will remind you: He’s too good to not believe.🙏 Thank you Mama. Thank you Pops. Thank you God. And thank you Maverick City Music for the soundtrack that heaven queued up right on time.
