Good morning. Everyday we should be willing to learn something new. The day we stop wanting to learn, is the day we hinder our own growth. No matter how much knowledge we have, we don’t know everything. There is always someone else that is wiser, smarter and more knowledgeable than us. Don’t get stuck because you’re too stubborn learn more and grow.

Proverbs 19:27
If you stop listening to instruction, my child,
you will turn your back on knowledge.

Good morning. When we don’t control our tempers we become dangerous and out of control. There are many people in jail right now because they lost control. No doubt, someone helped them out or warned them about keeping their temper in check before it caused them to lose it all. No doubt, they didn’t listen and now they find themselves in a situation that only God can save them now. As a Christian, we shouldn’t want our minds to go to the left, that’s why we pray the scripture; “let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus.” The very moment we lose our temper is the very moment we lose our witness. The Bible declares we are without an excuse. We can’t say; the devil made me do it, when we serve an omnipotent God. We can’t say; the devil made me do it, when the Bible declares, I called on the Lord and He heard my cry. Let’s be for real and say; I wanted to sin so I sinned. We can’t expect people to continue to help us out of a sinful jam if we refuse to acknowledge our sins and seek the Lord for deliverance.

Proverbs 19:19
Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.

Good morning. Children are a blessing from the Lord. If we don’t train them up at home and discipline them, they will surely embarrass us in public. No matter how cute, gorgeous or handsome they may be, an undisciplined child is a disgrace. We do our children an injustice when we allow them to get away with everything. Children were never meant to rule their parents or run their parents households, and that is exactly what will happen if a child is not checked and corrected for their unruly behavior. Training starts at home, not when they get to school. Back in the day, our parents looked at you and you straightened up. If they had to speak twice, there were consequences. Our children need to know that there are consequences for bad behavior and if we don’t show them, then jail or hell will definitely show them.

Proverbs 19:18
Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise you will ruin their lives.

Good morning. God see’s everything we do. He see’s when we give to the poor and he see’s when we act like they’re invisible. There’s no need in despising poor people, because it could be us and truth be told; it was some of us until God turned our situations around. Never forget that time and chance happens to us all. When God gives us an opportunity to bless the poor, do it. In actuality, he’s giving us a chance to bless Him and He will repay us. The seasoned saints use to say; you can’t beat God’s giving no matter how hard you try. Never miss an opportunity to give to the Lord.

Proverbs 19:17
If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD— and he will repay you!

Good morning. There are no free lunches. Therefore, we have to get up and work. Getting a hand-up is alright, but looking for a handout because we’re too lazy to go out and work for it is wrong. People don’t go to work to pay for our laziness. They work to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. Being lazy will cause us to miss out on things naturally and cause us to miss out on what God has for us spiritually.

Proverbs 19:15
Lazy people sleep soundly,
but idleness leaves them hungry.

Good morning. It’s funny how we live our lives the way we want to and when things don’t turn out the way we planned, we get mad at others and God. Not once did we seek God while we were making all these plans. Not once did we ask for guidance while we were doing our own thing. Not once did we pray to the Lord while everything was going the way we wanted it to go. But, as soon as we hit a brick wall. As soon as we got our heart broke. As soon as we lost everything, we want to say; Lord where were you? Lord, why did you allow this to happen to me? Lord, why do people keeping using me, when I’ve been nothing but good to people? Whenever we cast our pearls to swine and whenever we leave God out of the equation, we’re asking for calamity and we deserve everything we get. God should never be an afterthought. He should always be the first person we consult about everything and we should check-in with Him regularly.

Proverbs 19:3
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the LORD.

Good morning. It’s alright to be enthusiastic about something, but know what it is you’re enthusiastic about. Do your research, study it and then be prepared to speak about it. We tend to make hasty and costly decisions when we don’t do our homework on the very thing that excites us. This is how we give an opening to the opponent. The opponent cares nothing about our excitement, but the opponent knows if we’re not prepared, if we’ve neglected to do our part, then they an opening. Let’s shut them down before it even gets to that point.

Proverbs 19:2
Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes.

Good morning. The word of God is priceless. When we disobey the word of God, it’s costly. The Word can take us farther than money ever can. It’s a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. When we follow the word we will be led unto the path of righteousness.

Proverbs 8:10
Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.

Good morning. When we have the Lord as our shepherd, that means we will lack nothing. We won’t lack peace, because He’ll provide it. We won’t lack safety, because He’ll provide it. We won’t lack food for our bodies, because He’ll provide it. We may not have a lot of money, but our bills will still get paid, because He’ll provide it. We don’t have to want for anything when we recognize who our shepherd is.

Psalms 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Good morning. Do you ever feel like you don’t know if you’re coming or if you’re going ? Do you feel like you’re just going through the motions and all these days are just running together? Do you ever feel like there has to be more to life than this? However we’re feeling about our lives and the situations we’re facing, we have to remain steadfast in the word. The word is the only thing that’s holding us together. The word is what’s keeping us sane. Trusting the word of God is the best thing we can do. Because, when we feel like our lives are just hanging in the balance, the word let’s us know the promises of God and the will of God for our lives. The word gives us hope, guides us and helps to keep us on the path of righteousness. Our lives maybe crazy. Chaos, commotion and confusion maybe all around us. Heaven and earth will pass away. But, the word of God will remain forever.

Psalms 119:109
My life constantly hangs in the balance, but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
