Evil vs. right

Proverbs 28:7 “Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.” Today should we concentrate on evildoers or Christians?  Let’s choose Christians–those who seek the Lord.  How did you celebrate Christmas?  Worshipping Jesus?  Yes?  Great!  There is no other reason to celebrate Christmas.  You understand your Lord and you seek the Lord and your life and eternity thrives in your Savior’s blessing.  You understand and you are wonderfully blessed.

Christmas reflects God’s heart

Proverbs 27:19 “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” You have never and will never look at any reflection of yourself in water or in a mirror and see someone else.  Your words, thoughts and actions are a reflection of that unique person–you.  Have a pure and loving heart.  Our God is our example as there cannot be a more loving heart than our God’s who sent His one and only Son to save you and me.  There is no greater love.  We celebrate Christmas for no other reason–don’t let the world ever fool you. Merry Christmas to you all! 

What is meant?

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Your, as a Christian, thrive with friends who enjoy a close relationship with their Heavenly Father.  Weakness and insecurities come when friends travel in the same boat together of —who knows—thinking.  I know is a foundation of bedrock which followers of the true God enjoy.  Share that foundation and enjoy life and the comfort and hope only found in Jesus.  (We celebrate His birth very soon.)

The value of friendship

Proverbs 27:9 “Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness springs from their heartfelt advise.” Even though life on this earth can be frustrating and full of trouble, yet there are very pleasant times.  Conversation with a friend is one of those pleasant times.  Exchanging ideas, helping each other reach decisions and just living with each other’s company are pleasant experiences enjoyed as we live on this earth.  Enjoy life with your wise friends. Have a great weekend.

Self praise-not good

Proverbs 27:2 “Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider and not your own lips.” It is an honor to hear others say-well done–.  It will be an ultimate honor when your Heavenly Father says to you–well done–.  When one says these two words to or about oneself, honor is lost, misplaced personal pride reigns and humility (a great personal trait) is nowhere to be seen.
