Romans 12:10 I love the saying humility doesn’t mean thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. And there’s no better example of this than Christ. From start to finish Jesus, in humility and obedience, always put the will of the Father before His own. Never once seeking His own glory, His joy was… Continue reading February 27th – Romans 12:10

February 22nd – 1 Corinthians 16:14
1 Corinthians 16:14 Proverbs 16:2 says, “All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD.” Nothing is hidden from God. As our Creator, He knows us better than we know ourselves. That includes the motive behind every thought and action. The Pharisees bragged about being righteous in the Lord’s… Continue reading February 22nd – 1 Corinthians 16:14
February 16th – Proverbs 11:17
Proverbs 11:17 There’s no way around it. It hurts when someone mistreats us. Yet while the world tells us to hurt them back, God tells us, “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44) Not an easy task on our own. But when our strength comes from God, there’s no limit… Continue reading February 16th – Proverbs 11:17
February 13th – Proverbs 31:8-9
Proverbs 31:8-9 Throughout the Bible we read how seriously the Lord takes the plight of the poor, the widowed, and the orphaned. And He let’s us know exactly what He expects our treatment of them to be. “Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.” (Is. 1:17)… Continue reading February 13th – Proverbs 31:8-9
January 22nd – Matthew 19:24
Matthew 19:24 Some Biblical scholars believe there was an actual gate in Damascus called “The Eye Of The Needle” During the day the main gates to the city were left open. But at night, when the gates closed, the only way to enter was through a small side gate. This small “Eye Of The Needle… Continue reading January 22nd – Matthew 19:24
November 25th – Proverbs 17:17
Proverbs 17:17 I’m thankful for the Friend we have in Jesus Who doesn't want a friend who loves you at all times? Not just through the good ones, but especially through the bad ones. Jesus is that friend. He accepts, shelters, loves, and died for us. Fully knowing the betrayal, brutality, and rejection He would… Continue reading November 25th – Proverbs 17:17
Lipstick On A Pig – Proverbs 11
Proverbs 11 If there ever was a man who knew about women, it was Solomon. 1 Kings 11:3 tells us, “He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines." Talk about a harem! And from his experiences with these many women, he came to this conclusion, “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, so… Continue reading Lipstick On A Pig – Proverbs 11
September 7th – Proverbs 25:28
Proverbs 25:28 God’s gift of emotions is a double edged sword. For with one side we experience love, joy, and gratitude. Yet with the other, pain, fear, and doubt. And make no mistake. Satan wields the bitter side of that blade ferociously and without mercy. But get this. He can only attack if we let… Continue reading September 7th – Proverbs 25:28
September 5th – Proverbs 8:13
Proverbs 8:13 What if I told you that fear is a sin? How? Because at the root of fear is pride, and we know what God thinks about pride. Pride submits to no one, grasping at control, and thinking we ourselves know best. And it’s the same with fear. When we let fear dictate our… Continue reading September 5th – Proverbs 8:13
August 3rd – Proverbs 11:17
Proverbs 11:17 I love the quote, “Niceness is overrated. Be kind.” Have you ever thought about the difference between the two? A nice person asks are you hungry? But a kind person will bring you food without needing to be asked. Because at the root of kindness is a heart of Christ. One that wants… Continue reading August 3rd – Proverbs 11:17
