What a blessing this 31 day journey has been! It began with “Knowledge or Wisdom?” and ended with “A Woman After God’s Own Heart”.  Proverbs has to be the most practical of all of the books in the Bible. It shows us how to become wise, make good decisions, and live a God-centered life. And [...]

There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!   Proverbs 31:29   (NLT)  Most of Proverbs 31 is well known for describing the ideal woman. So, for the final day of our 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, I recruited my ideal woman,    my wife Theresa, to share her thoughts on this [...]

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Economy, Money on July 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

…give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or I may become poor and steal.   Proverbs 30:8-9 As we count down our 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, it’s seems fitting that we can focus on [...]

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.   Proverbs 29:25 Last week in Denver, CO God gave me the opportunity to witness the difference between fear and trust. On February 7, 2009, we had a devastating ice storm in northwest Arkansas. Tommy Van Zandt, a very special friend to many, [...]

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.   Proverbs 28:2 I just returned from a wonderful vacation in the mountains with my wife and two boys. What incredible perspective time away from work can give us. Maybe like you, I always try to find a [...]

Day 27–Precision Forecasting

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Change, Peace, Planning, Plans on July 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1 (NIV) We tend to place a lot of faith in our plans for the future. We are quick to brag about what we expect to accomplish. We take tomorrow for granted. The fact is, we don’t know [...]

Day 26–Worse off than the Fool?

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Pride, Wisdom on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 26:12 (NIV) After reading this chapter a couple of times, my mind was continually mulling over  this verse.  Well, actually,  this verse and the one about the dog returning to it’s own [...]

Day 25–Communication Breakdown

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Honesty on July 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer.  They revive the spirit of their employer.  Proverbs 25:13 (NLT) The NIV speaks of the “coolness of snow at harvest time” which makes a little more sense to me than the “snow in summer.”  But I digress…. Everyone has played the game where one message is communicated and [...]

Day 24–I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Faith, perseverence on July 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »

The godly will trip seven times, but they will get up again.  But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.  Proverbs 23:16 When we are knocked down by our circumstances what is it that makes us rise again?  When the “waves like sea billows roll”  how can we continue come back time and time [...]
