His View

822) Sometimes it can seem like the “bad people” around us often get away with things, but when they don’t, how do you respond? I would be lying if I said that I don’t feel a certain satisfaction when someone who has treated me poorly gets knocked down a notch or two, but this isn’t

Human Chameleons

821) I live in an area in our country that has a lot of wildlife. It’s amazing how many members of the animal kingdom have such wonderful camouflage. They show up in different habitats and change to suit the area. Chameleons, from a different part of our country, are another example of creatures that change

Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be

Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be 820) Borrowing is addressed in the Bible. Once such example is in Proverbs 22:7, which plainly says that a borrower is a slave to the lender. Kind of a no-brainer, right? Well, I got to thinking about this and wonder could this also apply to our relationship with

Role Play

819) Whenever we ask God for direction, strength or guidance, we always have a role to play. This role might include being faithful or grateful. Yet Proverbs 21:31 makes it clear to us that even though there are battles God will win for us, he expects us to “ready our horses” for battle. Often, our

Gasoline is Expensive

818) We are living in times when gasoline is very expensive. What used to be a reasonable price at the pump is now much higher. While at the gas pumps recently, it came to me that there is another type of “gasoline” that is also very expensive. It is the substance of our response toward

Obedience and Insight

815) Proverbs 20:12 tells us that ears that hear and eyes that see are gifts from God. Ears that hear and eyes that see what? This verse could refer to physical hearing and seeing, but the original language of the Old Testament has a more specific definition. This hearing is more like obedience and this

Smooth Talker

806) Old sayings often are grounded in wisdom. For example, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Proverbs 20:11 reminds me of another important saying. Actions speak louder than words. If you’re unsure of another’s character and what your involvement should be with them, look at what they do, not solely on

Reputations

813) As the internet sales platform continues to evolve, many find that looking at reviews of products, places and people are important. Never mind that those reviews can be misleading. The power of reviews lends itself to forming a reputation of these things in the minds of potential customers. Proverbs 22:1 reminds us that our

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

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
