On My Word

816) I read somewhere years ago that the prudent thing to do when reciting your marriage vows is to keep your fingers crossed behind your back. I don’t think the statement was meant seriously but; it makes me think. When I was young, I had a black and white view of vows. You make them;

Obedience and Insight

815) Proverbs 20:12 tells us that ears that hear and eyes that see are gifts from God. Ears that hear and eyes that see what? This verse could refer to physical hearing and seeing, but the original language of the Old Testament has a more specific definition. This hearing is more like obedience and this

Smooth Talker

806) Old sayings often are grounded in wisdom. For example, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Proverbs 20:11 reminds me of another important saying. Actions speak louder than words. If you’re unsure of another’s character and what your involvement should be with them, look at what they do, not solely on

Reputations

813) As the internet sales platform continues to evolve, many find that looking at reviews of products, places and people are important. Never mind that those reviews can be misleading. The power of reviews lends itself to forming a reputation of these things in the minds of potential customers. Proverbs 22:1 reminds us that our

Get Out of the Boat

812) The event of Jesus and Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14:22-32 has always interested me. Peter sees Jesus doing something he knew went against the law of nature and yet, Jesus invites Peter to join Him in this supernatural experience. The next thing that happens is very important: Peter gets out of

Looks Can Be Deceiving

811) One of my favorite quotes from Madeleine L’Engle is found within the pages of A Wrinkle in Time. It says: “We don’t understand what you mean, ‘To see’. ‘Well, it’s what things look like,’ Meg said     helplessly. ‘We do not know what things ‘look like’ as you say. We know what things are

Worthy Investments

810) When I use the word, “consequences” with my students, they are like many in thinking it is always associated with bad choices. I have to remind them that the word consequences is just a word to describe the results of what we do. Proverbs 21:23 tells us that the consequences of guarding what we

I Made Such a Sacrifice for You!

809) It’s so easy to decide to give up something, help someone or make admirable choices because we know it is, “more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) Yet, Proverbs 21:3 tells us that even these actions should be weighed before we do them. It tells us that even though we may think

The Justification Trap

808) Years ago, I can remember someone describing something a family member did that hurt my friend financially. As I and another listened, I realized this action would have long-reaching consequences for her. My friend finished her venting with, “How could a family member do this?” and the other person present thought a moment and

Seeing Can Be an Illusion

807) There are some people who always skirt the law and seem to get away with it continually. We’ve all seen them and it can be tempting to think they will never be “caught”. Proverbs 20:17 tells us this is not so. What may look like someone getting away with things is an illusion and
