Proverbs


I read this passage today and it gave me a slight kick in my back side! We can be different and not hate. We have to be cautious in our disagreements and differences to not hurt or lose sight that we are a follower of Christ! I hope it speaks to you the way it did me!



Proverbs 15: 1-33 (KJV)

1. A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 
2. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 
3. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. 
4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 
5. A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 
6. In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 
7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. 
8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord : but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 
10. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. 
11. Hell and destruction are before the Lord : how much more then the hearts of the children of men? 12. A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. 
13. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 
14. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. 
15. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 
16. Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. 
17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 
18. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. 
19. The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. 
20. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. 
21. Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 
22. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 
23. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! 
24. The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 
25. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. 
26. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord : but the words of the pure are pleasant words. 
27. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 
28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 29. The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 
30. The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. 
31. The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 
32. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 
33. The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's]  love . ... I remember singing  Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means  something that can't be understood; a  billow  is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation.  It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get.  I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!
