Be a Man
This is beast. A friend of mine, Josh Glymph posted this earlier. It’s a great creative piece. Check it out. It should encourage you.
Scale that wall
During the month of January, the 31 Day Challenge has been going on. Check out the link and get involved! A few verses stuck out to me as I read Proverbs 21 today (mouse over the scripture links to read). Proverbs 21:22-23 and Proverbs 21:30 There is a lot of strength in being wise and [...]
It takes pure force
Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. When I read that this morning, I thought “Lord, let that be me!” I sure want to please the Lord in my ways. Not that I have to work for his approval, because I already have God’s [...]
Good news makes your bones fat
So I laughed out loud this morning when I read Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones. Maybe I’m just weird, but here’s why I thought it was funny. If you click the reference (Prov 15:30) it will take you to the verse @ http://bible.logos.com (you can read the [...]
Where does Wisdom make it’s bed?
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. ~ Our ways are not God’s ways, so we should seek God when making our decisions. (Isaiah 55:8-9) Proverbs 14:15 The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. ~ I’m the middle school [...]
Be careful with whom you roll with
A couple of verses concerning discipline stuck out to me today. Proverbs 13:18 and Proverbs 13:24. Listening to correction leads to discipline. Discipline leads us away from poverty and shame. Good stuff from Proverbs 13 today! The idea of heeding the correction, that develops discipline which leads to love and honor, in contrast to ignoring discipline [...]
Sticks and Stones will…
Go ahead and finish the line in your head…That song is one of the biggest loads of crap I’ve ever heard. That thought came to mind today when I read Proverbs 12:18. “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Growing up at my house, sometimes I thought yelling was [...]
Hawg with a gold nose ring
Proverbs 11 We can definitely get caught up in saying too much (Proverbs 11:12-13)! I’ve been working with my lead Pastor (ok wait…not that he says too much, but working with him in respect to saying “what you think” via social media for the purposes of building the Kingdom!) and he is beginning to see [...]
A firm foundation
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever. Proverbs 10:25 In Proverbs 10:25 and Proverbs 10:30 speak of how the righteous, stand firm and have an established “rooted” foundation. It makes me think of the righteousness I have in Jesus Christ and the foundation that which He [...]
Pride can show it’s ugly face
Great post from Pat Rowland over at the 31 Day Challenge. Check it out. He speaks of a great attitude to have. After reading Proverbs 9:8-9 Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;teach a [...]
