Glorified Sense
Proverbs 19:11 “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.” Proverbs 19:11 NKJV This verse says, there are times when it’s good to overlook, to look past that offense, to not let it fester in you and to not confront it with that person, but just to overlook, to bear with that person, to forgive that person in your heart, and then to move on and not hold it against that person. And sometimes this is the wisest rou

Power To Act
Proverbs 3:27 “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Proverbs 3:27 NIV I can remember a time in my life when the idea of being a believer basically boiled down to a long laundry list of stuff that I wasn’t supposed to do. The only sense of “Trinity” connected to Christianity was “Thou Shalt Not.” The trouble was lots of that stuff was fun. I didn’t like the idea of God or anyone else telling me what I wasn’t supp

Continual Cheerful Feastful Heart
Proverbs 15:15 “All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15 NIV A wonderful life is a choice, choosing to have a contented and joyful heart.

Negative and discontented people choose to let circumstances or fool

Rest, Soar, Run To Renewed Hope
Isaiah 40:31 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 NIV I love the image of soaring high like an eagle, even though I’m afraid of heights. It speaks of the freedom we have when we trust in God. We don’t have to fear, we will be given new strength. That sounds marvelous, especially when we’re feeling weak. This verse mentions ben

Rest In The God Who Works In Love
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV Paul isn’t trying to minimize our present suffering. He was, after all, a man who suffered greatly himself. He’s trying to give us hope for a day when that suffering will be swallowed up in something greater. You may not see it in this life, but not a single second of your suffering is wasted. Not one thing happe

Sought Out Spirit Filled Worship
“But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.

So to seek Him over and ab

He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” Psalms 23:1-3 NIV Why does God lead us in paths of righteousness? For His name’s sake. He leads us for our good and ultimately for His glory. Oh, see this. Above all, God glorifies Himself by being a good shepherd to us. God glorifies His Name by guiding
