MIGNON ON THE ROCKS
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
than a fatted calf with hatred.
—Pr 15:17

Better to eat lettuce and have a good marriage, than filet mignon and have a marriage on the rocks. Complex counsel is often poured onto problem marriages in an effort to save them, when the Bible gives simple ingredients to make them work: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it” (Ep 5:25), and “Wives, submit to your own husbands” (v. 22).

A marriage works when self is left outside the door. Then hatred can't get in. In reality, it's not the marriage that's the problem; it's selfishness. It's a lack of the fruit the Spirit. Where there is no love, there is no salvation. Many who profess Christ don't possess Christ.

Father, may I this day reckon my sinful self dead in Christ (Ro 6:11). Amen.

HOW TO NOT FEAR GOD
Better is little with the fear of the LORD,
than great treasure with trouble.
—Pr 15:16

There are many promises in Scripture for those who fear the Lord. Such fear is both the beginning of wisdom and the motivation for sin-loving sinners to let go of their beloved sins. And nothing dissipates that fear like idolatry.

To believe that God is all-loving or too good to create hell is to make up a nonexistent god and violate the first and the second of the Ten Commandments. However, those who embrace the biblical revelation of our Creator will know the fear of Lord and find the knowledge of God. Like the psalmist, they will say, “My flesh trembles for fear of You” (Ps 119:120), and like Paul, will proclaim, “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (2Co 5:11).
————————————————————————
SOUL SEARCH: How do I feel about the fear of God? Is it an uncomfortable thought?
————————————————————————-
Father, remove idolatry far from me. Amen.

THE CONTINUAL FEAST
All the days of the afflicted are evil,
but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
—Pr 15:15

Some people are born with a merry heart. They seem to always have a sparkle in their eye and are upbeat about everything. They are born that way because joy is in their genes.

But when we are born again, we can determine whether or not we have joy. We can give ourselves a merry heart using something that is available to all of us—faith. If someone promised to give you a million dollars, you would have a merry heart the very moment you believed. If you didn't believe, you would have no joy.

God's Word has promises that are to be desired more than fine gold. Believe them with all your heart, and have a continual feast.

SOUL SEARCH: How much of me does God have? What would it take to give all of myself to Him?
————————————————————————
Father, show me if I am unconsciously holding back in any area of my life. Amen.

THE DOOR OF UNDERSTANDING
The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
—Pr 15:14

What do we hunger for? Do we hunger after righteousness, or does our mouth feed on foolishness? This sinful world certainly serves up foolishness and encourages us to indulge.

But the heart of him who understands seeks knowledge. The Son of God has come and given us understanding. It was by the grace of God that we entered the kingdom through the door of understanding. Our minds were once darkened, and we were alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that was in us.

But now we seek the knowledge of God. We desire to grow in Him through the power of His Spirit and through the light of His Word. We are no longer in darkness, feeding on foolishness, deceived by this world.
————————————————————————-
SOUL SEARCH: When was the last time I wasted my time on foolishness?
————————————————————————-
Father, help me to use my time wisely. Amen.

GIVING UP THE REINS
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
—Pr 15:13

When a wild horse is “broken,” it's the spirit that is broken. The animal's individual character and its energy remain. It simply becomes harnessed and therefore useful. The horse now submits to the rider and moves in any direction he wills.

Trials break our spirit. They make us sorrowful. They bring us to a point of handing God the reins of our rebellious lives, and saying, “Not my will, but Yours, be done” (Lk 22:42). Our individual character and our energy remain, but they are now harnessed for the Master's use. When God says, “This is the way,” that's the way we turn, because we are no longer our own. We have presented our bodies as living sacrifices, knowing that “the sacrifices of God are... a broken and a contrite heart” (Ps 51:17).
————————————————————————
SOUL SEARCH: In what area do I need to give up the reins and say, “Not my will, but yours be done?” to the Lord?
————————————————————————
Father, I give you my broken and contrite heart.
Do as you will in my life. Amen.

SCORN AND PRIDE
A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
nor will he go to the wise.
—Pr 15:12

Scorn and pride go hand in hand. The scoffer sits himself on high moral ground and looks condescendingly on the godly. The foolishness of the gospel is an offense to him. His mind is set on the things of the flesh and his wisdom is from below: “sensual, devilish” (Jas 3:15 KJV). Such a proud peacock isn't easy to love, but we must love him and be concerned for his salvation.

He won't come to the light, so we must take the light to him, take courage, and reprove him for sinning against God. Unless he repents and trusts in Jesus, he will die in his sins and end up in hell. How frightening for him!

May God give us a love that doesn't seek the approval of this scornful world, so we may warn them no matter how they respond to us.

SOUL SEARCH: How often do I make fear a matter of prayer?
————————————————————————-
Father, may the love of God swallow my fears, so I can persuade men and women to trust the Savior. Amen.

UNENDING FEAR
Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; so how much more the hearts of the sons of men.
—Pr 15:11

The reality of hell is forever before the omniscient eyes of God. He sees the terrible destruction of those who die in their sins.

As Christians we also need to be ever mindful of the existence of hell. Have you ever woken from a nightmare thankful that you awoke and were able to shake off the fear? Imagine that fear being unending.

Think often of the fate of the unsaved. The Bible warns, “But to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath” (Ro 2:8). Such thoughts should take our breath away and bring us to our knees. Paul said, “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (2Co 5:11).
————————————————————————-
SOUL SEARCH: How often do I think of the fate of the lost?
————————————————————————-
Father, help me to shun selfishness.
Amen.

LIONS’ DENS AND RED SEAS
Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates correction will die.
—Pr 15:10

Heb 12:5-6 tells us that God corrects and chastens those He loves. No trial is enjoyable, but God allows them to come our way for our good. Lions’ dens and Red Seas bring us to our knees, but we come out of them saying with the psalmist, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statues” (Ps 119:71). These trials are good for us because all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes (Ro 8:28).

Although it's not an easy thing to do, we must therefore learn to give thanks in and for these trials. So if you are in one today, offer God the sacrifice of praise. Strengthen your feeble knees and then lift up your holy hands to Him in worship. Praise Him anyway, let the joy of the Lord be your strength (Ne 8:10), and may God deliver you quickly.
————————————————————————-
SOUL SEARCH: Is harsh discipline difficult for me, or do I welcome God's correction?
————————————————————————
Father, help me to see your hand in daily trials and your promise to work them for my good. Amen.
