Stirring Up Hornets

231) If you poke a hornet’s nest with a stick, you’re going to get stung. That’s not a surprise yet when a person adds anger to a volatile situation, some are surprised that it doesn’t help at all. There is strength in calm. Proverbs 15:18

No Score Card

230)  There is nowhere in the Bible that says we have to “punish” others for their wrongs against us. In fact, refusing to keep “score” on other’s actions may bring more of a change in them.  This is not being a doormat (playing victim) this is “mercy”. Proverbs 19:11

The Motivation Behind Anger

229)  We live in an angry world. Anger flairs its head in traffic, ball games and on our screens. 99% of the time, our anger does not bring others closer to God; it often does the opposite. Anger is an emotion we need to manage and not allow it a dictatorship. James 1:20

In Feel Your Pain

228) As followers of God, we are given the ability to “gift” to others our empathy. We are asked to “suffer” with or “honor” each other. This doesn’t mean to “fix” things for others because that’s not our job. Support one another. 1 Corinthians 12:26

Spiritual Comradery

227) If you’re ever felt all alone, there is an antidote. In addition to God being with you, lean on fellow Christians. They are there to help support you. Not recognizing that you need others, regardless of the reason, is not God’s plan. Seek these people out. They are a gift from God. 1 John

On the Watch

225) Sometimes we feel a false sense of security when we see a life guard or locked door. It’s not that these things are bad but they depend of fallible people or things. God’s watch over us is not fallible, so our feelings of insecurity can be conquered. Have faith!   Psalm 121:7-8

Historic Examples

224) As a child, I loved learning in Sunday school about the people sprinkled throughout the Bible. Joshua 1:5-6 reminds us that God wants us to learn from their examples – good and bad. Many have fought battles that we’re fighting within ourselves. Read about them; there’s encouragement to be gleaned today.

Supply List

223) Taking a supply list with you when grocery shopping is a good idea. That’s because it’s easy to confuse needs with wants – impulse buying. When it comes to what we need in life, God promises to deliver it at the moment of need; not before.  He needs no list. Philippians 4:19

Happiness versus Joy

222)  It’s easy to confuse joy with happiness. Happiness is an emotion that reacts to circumstances. Joy is a state of being. You feel happy because you got a promotion; you are joyful that God provides for all your needs. “In God’s presence is fullness of joy.”  Ps 16:11

We Cannot Separate

221) Did you ever get lost when you were a child? It’s a scary feeling to be separated from the one that protects and nurtures you. The good news is, no matter how lost and separated you feel, God will NEVER leave you. He’s right with you; you’re not alone. Ps 139:7-10
