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

Justice

805) Have you ever been the object of another’s gossip or false accusations? If so, when Jesus said to “turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5:39) it’s a hard pill to swallow. But Proverbs 19:5 reveals how turning the other cheek is possible. It is simply that God promises these actions will not go unpunished. When

Quick Decisions

804) In the years I’ve walked this earth, I have discerned that anything done quickly isn’t good, unless you are a runner. Quick words, quick friendships, and quick decisions are often the predecessors of problems. Proverbs 19:2 tells us that jumping into a decision too quickly is not good. If there is a desire or

Prune or Fertilize

803) Have you ever had someone you admired; a person who you would model your life around? If you have, what happened when they said or did something that was not in line with the very things you admired them for? Proverbs 18:21 tells us that the things people say have the power of life

The Appearance of Wisdom

802) All you have to do to discern if someone is wise is to listen to what they say. What we say is a reflection of what is within us. Proverbs 17:28 reveals to those of us who don’t really know how to be wise and it is simply this: “Even fools are thought wise
