Have You Ever Or Would You Willing to Train a Child?

Have You Ever Or Would You Be Willing to Train a Child?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those involved in the training up children in the way they should go. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Teaching a child faith lessons early on can save their life.

King Solomon in Proverbs 22:6 (ESV) shares about the lifelong impact.

“Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Don’t underestimate of this early training. Even if a person goes astray along the way, later years the person can have a time of restoration and reconciliation.

Were you trained up in the way you should go?

Think back of those who helped train and encourage you. Do you think it would be appropriate to say. “Thank you?” Don’t delay in acknowledging those who have poured their lives into yours. Tell me what you think below.

Are You Ready for the Day of Battle?

Are You Ready for the Day of Battle?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who prepare for the day of battle. In Jesus’s name, amen.

The Bible is filled with stories of war.

Before any battle, a warrior had to be prepared.

Proverbs 21:31 (ESV) helps us see clearly who is in control.

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but the victory belongs to the Lord.”

No matter how brilliantly a horseman may fight, it is not his to claim credit for a battlefield victory. Do you ever try to take credit for victories in your life?

Remember this proverb. The victory belongs to the Lord.

Are You On the Side of the Lord!

Are You On the Side of the Lord!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are on Your side. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people stand in opposition to the Lord.

Such people will gather a team of wise men to provide their brand of wisdom, their understanding of the situation, and listen to their so-called wise counsel. What will come of all this effort?

The simple answer is found in Proverbs 21:30 (ESV).

“No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel
can avail against the Lord.”

After everything, the Lord’s will stands.

Rather than going against the Lord, build a firm foundation on godly wisdom, understanding the Lord’s precepts, and listening to the wise counsel of people well-grounded in God’s word.

Are You Pursuing Righteousness and Kindness?

Are You Pursuing Righteousness and Kindness?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who pursue righteousness and kindness. In Jesus’s name amen.

Righteousness has many synonyms: virtue, morality, justice, decency, uprightness, rectitude, honesty, and blamelessness.

According to Christianity.com,
“Righteousness is an attribute that belongs to God, the Lawgiver, and is manifested in His laws. No man can be justified by his own works apart from God’s ordinance. Therefore, righteousness is a wonderful gift from God to humanity through his love: it is the God-given quality imputed to man upon believing in the Son of God.”
That is Jesus Christ.

Psalm 21:21 (ESV) is about those who pursue righteousness and kindness.

“Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor.”

Life everlasting awaits those who believe in the Son of God. Have you been waiting to put your trust in him? Don’t delay.

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those with quarrelsome spouses. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people would give almost anything to have tranquility in their marriage. People suffering with constant conflict can find themselves the victims of abuse and worse.

Proverbs 21:9 (ESV) may sound humorous, but is rather profound.

“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Or, if the situation happened to be with a quarrelsome husband.

If you are in a challenging relationship, seek wise counsel. Find a professional to confide in. If possible, find reconciliation.

Does The Lord Turn a King’s Heart?

Does The Lord Turn a King’s Heart?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord turns a king’s heart wherever he will. In Jesus’s name, amen.

World leaders are powerful people. They have advisors, security details, supporters, and detractors.

Some think they are in control. But this is not the case.

Proverbs 21:1 (ESV) tells us who is in charge.

“The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.”

Some people act like kings in the workplace and at home.

Stop thinking business and political leaders have destiny in their hands.

Rather, acknowledge God!

He is the true power behind the throne. Behind your throne, too.
