PROVERB OF THE DAY

(Proverbs 26)

1. As snow in summer and rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.

2. Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow,
So a curse without cause shall not alight.

3. A whip for the horse,
A bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the fool’s back.

4. Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.

5. Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes.

6. He who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

7. Like the legs of the lame that hang limp
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

8. Like one who binds a stone in a sling
Is he who gives honor to a fool.

9. Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard
Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

10. The great God who formed everything
Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his
wages.

11. As a dog returns to his own vomit,
So a fool repeats his folly.

12. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13. The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion is in the streets!”

14. As a door turns on its hinges,
So does the lazy man on his bed.

15. The lazy man buries his hand in the bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.

16. The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

17. He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

18. Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

19. Is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, “I was only joking!”

20. Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.

21. As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22. The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body.

23. Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

24. He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;

25. When he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;

26. Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.

27. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

28. A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
And a flattering mouth works ruin

Matthew 22:37
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

Amen!

Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

It is early this morning. My eyes are barely open. However, that usually makes for a very entertaining post with the wrong word choices, punctuation, and overall topic.

Have you ever gotten an idea in your head that you could accomplish something in a certain way or amount of time and were determined to prove it could happen? You knew that all you had to do was stay focused, keep pressing on, and not allow a little thing like… oh, let’s say… nightfall stop you. That was me yesterday. The gent that I borrowed the mower from to mow my yard brought it back yesterday and I jumped on the opportunity to get the rental yard done and part of mine. In my mind, after I returned home from the rental, I had enough time to mow the back-back yard. Oh, let me tell you, I was really cooking too. I was getting her done. UNTIL. Yep, the sun was going down faster than I could push that mower. Yet, me … being me … said to myself, “Self, you can still see the last set of tire tracks for the return run … keep going.” I did this until I could barely see to get back to the house. Haha. Final verdict: NO, I did not finish that part of the yard, but I did get 98 percent of it done. The 2 percent that is still there, uncut … in the covering of trees and there was absolutely no light.

As I am racing the sinking sun ball, I am thinking to myself two thoughts … 1. You should have known it was too late to get this done, and 2. I am going to get it and show everyone it was possible. Bouncing through the rough patches of the yard, moving as quickly and safely as possible, and still making the yard look good. I was determined. The closer I got to the finish line, the more excited I got that I would actually accomplish this particular task. I even mowed some of the tree-capped lane out of sequence because I knew it would be difficult to see. Hindsight, I should have done both sections of the tree-capped area; however, I did not. Thus, there is a small tree-capped area I need to finish today.

When I finally gave up and put the mower away, I was actually excited to tell my little story of ‘how close’ I came. Then listen to everyone’s bets on whether I would keep going after the moon was fully in bloom in the sky. It made for a great story and giggle fest.

Have you ever been in a situation when, though the time frame in which you really have to get something done is not as long as you thought, but you are determined to complete the task in that allotted time anyway? Did you make it and celebrate or did you fall a little short? If you fell short, how did you defeat? Myself, I made fun of the race I had with the sun and moon and created a fun story and memory.

When we fall short of a goal, whether it's realistically capable or sketchy at best, how we handle the end result is the true prize. If success is in the air, do we boast to the point of arrogance, or do we boast to the satisfaction of a job well done? But if it is not success, do we sulk and find excuses or problems that were clouding the path to success … or … do we see the accomplishment and celebrate what we did accomplish? The result in our hearts is completely our choice.

I did not look at the clock last night, when I returned from the rental property. If I had, I may have thought against the attempt to mow in the back part of the property. Why? I know how long it takes; I know when the sun is going to disappear, and I know the odds. However, I rolled the dice on a beautiful night’s temperature and chose to swing for the fences. The result: a nearly complete mowed back portion with only 5-10 minutes left.

Today, as you go about your daily routines, think about how you are looking at your to-do list. Is it overwhelming or is it just a staircase that you will succeed at one step at a time … until you reach the top landing? When your day comes to an end today, how will you look at your to-do list? Was it a grand slam and everything got accomplished? Was it a triple down the first base line in the corner and nearly everything got accomplished? Was it a triple down the left-field line, nearly everything got accomplished, but it was a close play at the bag? Was it a bunt for a single or a sacrifice? In any one of these scenarios, you choose how you view the outcome. I suggest you view them all as victories and keep the overwhelming Light of Love in full view of your day.

Be blessed.

**Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

No matter who or what stands in your way, family, colleagues, or tough situations, stay faithful and trust the process. Just obey what God has called you to do and leave the rest in His hands!

What Will You Take With You?

One day, everything we accumulated will belong to someone else.

The house stays.

The money stays.

The possessions stay.

But our relationship with God has eternal significance.

Psalm 49 challenges us to ask:

Am I living primarily for this world—or for eternity?

Choose wisdom.
Choose faith.
Choose what lasts.

Trust in God, not riches.
