Hi Peeps,
Today’s Quote
“Don’t be alarmed when rocky moments occur in your walk with Christ. It’s not the opposition’s job to make it comfortable.”~TB
Occupational Hazard
God’s workers are in the direct line of fire, standing against the plans of the opposition. For that reason, expect to receive different types of attacks. The devil is no dummy as he focuses his energy on trying to disrupt those who are doing the Lord’s work. His attacks are strategic in that he will hit you in your weakest area. By the sheer nature of your holy employment, expect distractions, disruptions, and derailment. Even though you may experience this level of spiritual warfare, do not forget who to go to when you are weary and could use some assistance.
Holy Insurance
If the ‘on the job’ injuries become more than you can handle, tap into your holy insurance policy which you can find in the Word. Biblical reading shows you the various battles that God’s faithful people endured. It also shows you how to stand firm and fight these battles. Friends, we are in precarious times and the battlefield is in the mind. We are no longer fighting with bloodshed, but with mindset. Use God’s word and His resources to help reinforce your mindset. When you know that the devil is fighting a losing battle it’s easier to see the playing field for what it truly is.
Today’s Question
Are you using your holy insurance to combat the evil one’s attacks?
Enjoy the reading
Proverbs 17
1 Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.
2 A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful son and will share the inheritance of the master’s children.
3 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
4 Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip; liars pay close attention to slander.
5Those who mock the poor insult their Maker; those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished.
6Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children.
7 Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler.
8 A bribe is like a lucky charm; whoever gives one will prosper!
9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
10 A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
11 Evil people are eager for rebellion, but they will be severely punished.
12 It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.
13 If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house.
14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.
15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— both are detestable to the LORD .
16 It is senseless to pay to educate a fool, since he has no heart for learning.
17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
18 It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt or put up security for a friend.
19 Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin; anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster.
20 The crooked heart will not prosper; the lying tongue tumbles into trouble.
21 It is painful to be the parent of a fool; there is no joy for the father of a rebel.
22A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
23 The wicked take secret bribes to pervert the course of justice.
24 Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
25 Foolish children bring grief to their father and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.
26 It is wrong to punish the godly for being good or to flog leaders for being honest.
27 A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.
28Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.
