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

In the Magnification of Night

793) I don’t know why this is true, but whenever I have some problem on my mind and I awake in the middle of the night, the problem always feels much worse. It’s almost as if my worries, fears and thoughts magnify the trouble that’s on my mind. I have found something that helps this

Responsibility

792) Though the world that our kids are growing up in differs greatly from the one we grew up in, there are many fundament things that haven’t changed. Whenever my students come to me with conflicts, they will often say, “So-and-so made me mad” or “So-and-so made me fight him.” There is a problem with

Consequences

789) Do you know someone who always seems to get away with doing underhanded things? They seem to continually “get by” with things–skirt the law, but no one ever gets away with anything. There are always consequences, even if these are not realized in the moment. Because of this, perhaps we need to be more

Being Thankful is Expensive

781) Psalm 50:14 speaks about being thankful and that it is a sacrifice to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks for everything. When I first consider this, it seems logical to me when someone brings me something I want; I am thankful, but what about when life brings me what I don’t
