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

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.

It’s a Choice

207)  Children have a lot to learn as they grow in this life. Adults continue to learn but regressing to childishness is a choice. Relating on a childish level is not what God wants for us. He wants us to put aside childish actions. Your life will be better if you do.  1 Cor 13:11

In Spite of the Pain

203)  Sometimes the pain in this life is unbearable; we might curl up and wish to die. Job understood this but he also understood what he must do. He knew he had to listen to God and His promises and not his circumstances. God does not promise to keep pain away in this life but

The Pits

172) If you have ever been in the pit of despair, it is a horrifying and lonely place. God knows your pain and offers forgiveness, healing, redemption, love and compassion. He promises good things in spite of the bad we can experience. Have hope! Psalm 103:2-5

Don’t Get in the Way!

162)  What if you were in a battle, with deadly enemies all around you? Would you stand still in the middle of it? That’s what God tells us to do when we find ourselves in trouble. Why? Because He promises to fight for you! Don’t get in the way! Exodus 14:14

Don’t Be So Surprised

134) Not all of God’s promises give us a reason to smile. God promises that if you are His child, you WILL be persecuted; ridiculed to martyred and all in between. When these things happen, know that it’s another example of God giving us a glimpse of what will happen and that He is in

Contentment Is A Choice

133) Contentment and godliness are connected. When you realize that whatever God has allowed to come your way is part of His good plan for you, you can choose to look at hard things from His perspective. It’s a choice. To not choose IS a choice. I Tim 6:6-7

The Weight of Complaining

127)  The root of complaining is ingratitude. It is not the same as being an advocate for justice; instead, it’s focusing on what you don’t like, similar to a 2-year-old with a tantrum. Choose to reframe the unpleasant with opportunity. Phil 2:14-15
