David and Goliath, Revisited

239) I love the stories of the Bible. The young boy, David prevailed over Goliath. Was this on his own strength? Our course not; he had God fighting for him and the good news is, we have God fighting for us, too. Have courage! There’s no battle God won’t help you with. Deuteronomy 31:6

Status is Overrated

237) We are often drawn to people that are like us. Similar goals, education, and status. If all we do is connect with these, we would be losing out. Reach out to those outside your typical circle. They have a lot to offer and you do, too. Romans 12:16

The Power of Gentleness

236)  So much of what we hear, see & sometimes even say, are at the opposite end of gentleness. I picture myself standing at the airline agent’s desk, trying to get rescheduled for a connecting flight I missed b/c they arrived late. Anyone can fly off the handle but God wants his people to treat

Eternal Reservations

234) We live in a competitive world and 1st place is sought by many. God tells us that He rewards 1st place by a different standard. An old woman faithfully praying could be first, over a famous preacher. Seeks God’s standards & not the world’s. Luke 13:30

What Kind of Example Are You?

232)  As one who teaches kids, I wonder what type of a role model our public figures are. A better question is, what kind of role model am I? 1 Timothy 4:12 tells all, including the young, to be good role models. Easier said than done!

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
