Reading for today: Proverbs 31:1-31 We as Christians have a responsibility to do our best to look out for those who cannot take care of themselves. James says, “…pure and spotless religion…cares for widows and orphans…” We are usually so willing to let government and agencies help out when we ourselves could be of service […]
ReadReading for today: Proverbs 30:1-33 I love this. People always doubt and ask themselves, “How do I know that God will do what He says He would do in the Bible?” You can ask any follower of Christ and they will tell you how His Word has proven true over and over again. You can […]
ReadReading for today: Proverbs 29:1-27 When I (Dave) was a child I was often called motor mouth, and was regularly reminded to slow down and “think about what I was doing.” My mouth and my actions usually preceded any intelligent thought process, and it lead to many unfortunate consequences. After many years of have “foot […]

ReadReading for today: Proverbs 28:1-28 It’s better to be poor and have great integrity than to be rich with none. We see this at every corner of our society. “I don’t care what others think of me! I am looking out for number one no matter what it takes!” What gain is this? We all […]
ReadReading for today: Proverbs 27:1-27 Paul said it this way, “…do not think of yourself more highly than you should.” We can sometimes get caught up in self promotion, letting everyone know how good we are at a certain task or problem. But, how much better would it be if you just did your best […]
ReadReading for today: Proverbs 26:1-28 What a great comparison. Quarreling is fanned into flame by whispering gossip or rumors. But what if we stop the gossip or rumors? What if we stand up and say we’ve had enough? That spreading these lies or bad-mouthing others is not building each other up (Ephesians 4:29). God says […]
ReadReading for today: Proverbs 25:1-28 A sign of maturity, both spiritual an otherwise, is a person who keeps their commitments.

You need to do two things; stop making commitments you can’t keep and start keeping the commitments you do make. […]
