Choose integrity

Pr. 3:32

A forward, twisted and crooked man is resisted by God. However,  the Lord keeps intimate touch with those who walk in integrity and rightstanding.

Always come down on the right side of any decision. God is watching and will work in you by His grace to do the right thing. [Phil. 2:13]

Nap without worry

Pr. 3:24

I love naps. The older I get, the more I value and need them. It would take the joy out of rest if I was all worried and fearful when I rested.

The Christian can rest while the Lord pulls guard duty. He giveth His beloved sleep. [Ps. 127:2]

The healthy quest

Pr. 2

Many young people make the mistake of pursuing wealth rather than wisdom and understanding.

WISDOM – Insight into the true nature of things.

UNDERSTANDING – The application of wisdom to everyday life.

Through the pursuit of these two qualities, God can show young people the most fruitful path for their life.

Christ Jesus is God’s Wisdom to us. If we seek HIM above all else, God will add to us all we will ever need. [Matt. 6:33]

Everlasting praise

Ps. 145

God’s Kingdom is everlasting. Commensurate, His praise should also keep going… and building. As we approach the finish line, the roar in the stands will grow louder.

I can’t wait to hear the songs and melodies of Heaven. I love a good choir. In Heaven will be the biggest and best choirs in the universe. Can’t wait.

Healthy rebuke

Ps. 141:5

The Psalmist welcomed healthy rebuke and acknowledged, “It won’t break my head.” It’s also called an excellent oil.

“The words of the wise (can be like) goads ( cattle prods) [Ecc. 12:11]

God filters the words that get through to you. He won’t let them destroy you. Turn them into motivators.

God’s plan for you

Ps. 139

All of our days are written in God’s book. He has many plans for us. His hand guides us into His Will.

He is anxious for us to enter into the blessing and fulfillment we will find in serving Him.

This life is not about our pleasure … it’s about His. He is now preparing a place for us in Heaven. Pleasing Him -being obedient to His Will – is the only life with eternal rewards.

Only one way

Ps. 124

There is only one way to explain Israel’s survival when the entire Muslim world and much of the rest of the world is against them … GOD’S PROTECTION.

No wonder the Psalmist encouraged, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. ” [Ps. 122:6]

YOU are God’s child also, the apple of His eye. You are safe in His arms.

Never stumble

Ps. 119:165

“Great pezce have they who love Thy Law , and NOTHING shall cause them to stumble.”

A stumble can cause a fall, and falls can cause injury. Spiritual stability is even more important than physical stability. This is a wonderful, healthy byproduct of living in God’s Word.

They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mt. Zion which cannot be removed, but abides forever. [Ps. 125:1]
