Runaway Thoughts

368)  It’s estimated that we can speak 400 words a minute but think 4,000 words in the same amount of time. 1 Peter 4:8 tells us love covers a multitude of sins. Some translations of the word, “cover” reveal that it can mean “to hinder the knowledge” of something. Perhaps we can hinder the destructive

Easy Words, Hard Actions

368) Words cost us little; we can spew them out without thought. Actions are different. You can say, I love you, all you want but to show someone you love them requires action. If you say something but your actions contradict them, your words carry no value. Back up your words in what you do.

Benefits

367)  In today’s workforce, a job that provides benefits can be more valuable than a high-paying job without them. Proverbs 11:17 tells us that being kind to others benefits us. It will make our lives richer. The opposite is also true. Making the choice to be cruel, either aggressively or passively, also has benefits. It

Role Model

366) Choosing to be good to others isn’t always easy, especially to those who have purposely or carelessly hurt us. God expects this from us because that’s how He treats others – including us. God is our role model and if He, who knows everything about us, makes this choice then how could we not

A Monument – One Full Year

The Law of the Seed

363)  Plant an apple seed, you’ll grow apples. The fruit produced is a result of the DNA of the seed. Can love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control grow from a seed that does not contain these? Imitations of these things can grow but the genuine product is found only in the

Grace-Full

362) Grace is a valuable gift you can give to others or yourself. It means that you “give” something good to someone who doesn’t deserve it. In days where “you must love yourself” is so prevalent, grace is not valued. Beating yourself up is not a prerequisite of grace but a Biblical view of our

Want to Lose the Race?

362)  Being aware of what’s behind you is prudent when running a race. Looking back over your shoulder is a sure way to lose it. The same principle applies to life. Being aware of your past is helpful. Absorbing yourself with your past stops you from moving forward and being the best person you can

Mind Control

361)  It is wise to be careful who you let control your mind. There are many who would like to manipulate your thinking, including yourself. Let your thoughts be controlled by God. How? Live by the standards He has given us in the Bible. Colossians 2:8
