Proverbs 29:20 NIV

Today's verse is yet another one where watching our tongue comes to light again in our Bible. There are times many of us say something in haste, and instantly regret it. The author here, more than likely King Solomon, is comparing those that do this with fools, ouch! We need to be vigilant, if we are prone to speaking out, to make sure what we're about to say is truthful and not hurtful. There are ways of getting our point across without tearing someone down, or coming off as a know it all. 5 seconds, that's all it takes is 5 seconds to destroy someone with our mouth, or keep it shut long enough to think through what we're about to say. The choice is ours to make.

(20) Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

Proverbs 11:13 NIV

Gossip - casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

I recently was convicted by the Holy Spirit for something I was a part of that led me to this verse in Proverbs. During our walk with Christ there are times we're going to screw it up, none of us are perfect. During our journey, we can find times where the Spirit convicts us when we do something wrong or against God's teachings. We need to be able to take the rebuke and learn from it. For some it's hard to do that, they don't want to own up to what they've done, which is unfortunate. The Holy Spirit convicts us to help us become better Christians, not in a malicious way meant to tear us down, but instead guiding us as to how God wants us to be. We have a choice to make when we come to these crossroads, are we going to let our pride get in the way, or are we going to take our butt whippin and learn from the experience. As always, the choice is ours to make.

13) A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.

Psalm 138:7 NIV

I heard this verse yesterday and it grabbed my attention. When I heard it read, it was put into context that made a lot of sense. This verse was most likely written by King David, one who definitely "walked throught the midst of trouble". God preserved David's life and had great plans for him. One of the reasons for this was David always went back to God, even when he messed up. God protected David, supernaturally at times, so that David could finish God's will. The last line in this verse of praising God is David recognizing that was God alone who saved him all those times. We can learn a lot from King David's writing here. There were times I'm certain David felt the world was crashing in around him, and that he was at deaths doorstep, but his one consistent thing was, he went to God with his issues, and God preserved him. Our relationship with the Father can be the same, but we need to go to Him humbly and consistently like David did. The teaching of this King from 3 millenia ago still ring true in how we need to approach God. Just like David made a choice to go to God and trust Him with his issues, it's up to us to make that choice as well.

7) Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.

Romans 8:6 NIV

Today's verse, penned by the Apostle Paul, is speaking to the church in Rome. Paul's verses remind us that we are constantly in a battle. The battle is primarily in our minds, as many times what we think or dwell upon in our minds can be what we push our flesh to do. This verse states if our mind is ruled by carnal thoughts, it will end up in spiritual death and separation from God. We need to be mindful that the battle ground of our spiritual warfare is fought in our minds. This is, in my view, why Paul has touched on how our thoughts affect our lives. We can choose to follow our flesh desires, which further removes us from God's presence, or to crucify those thoughts and submit them and ourselves to Christ. God has given us the free will to chose what path we'll go, choose wisely.

6) The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

The prophet Zephaniah was used by God during one of the most corrupt times of Israel's kings. He came to forewarn them of the incoming judgement of God due to their wandering away from the covenant they made with God. Even though this message was given somewhere around 640 to 608 BC, it has lessons that can be learned today. God never changes, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Just as Zephaniah stated to Israel, God is our warrior, fighting on our behalf. He loves us, as 640ish years after this statement, His Son hung on a cross for us. Zephaniah is telling Israel to turn from their wicked ways to receive all of what God wants to give them, while also knowing the wrath that's store up for disobedience. The same is true today, there will be a judgement when Christ comes back. It would be sage of us to take this lesson from the past and put it to good use today. God is waiting on us to make the move towards Him, I pray we make the wise choice to do that.

17) "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

A heads up with the upcoming weather. We're canceling Bible study for tomorrow evening. Not knowing where the storm will go, we feel it's a safe idea to postpone it for this week. Please pass this on to everyone you know that comes regularly.

Hebrews 4:12 NIV

Right here, right now, this author of Hebrews is describing that God's word is still pertinent in our day and age. Many people say they would believe more if God spoke to them directly, like He did with the prophets of old. In our age we have His word, from the beginning, that can and will speak to us. Let me be the 1st to admit that I would love to have an audible conversation of guidance from God more often, but that's not how God always does it. His word is how He communicates with the majority of believers the majority of the time. It's for our benefit to get into the scripture to know how God's heart is, because it doesn't change. The word is designed to inform us, and convict us, of the things God won't tolerate. Our thoughts don't always come from our heads, our heart dictates a lot of how we react to things. Some folks read scripture and don't agree with what it says, and decide to omit it from their walk, you see it today in churches that tolerate sinful behaviors and incorporate it in their beliefs. The word of God is the authority, whether it hurts your feelings or not. The choice is yours to make, are you going to live by what God's words tell you, or pick and choose what you're going to live by? Choose wisely.

(12) For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Hebrews 4:13 NIV

Have you ever felt invisible, like nobody sees or cares about you? Many of us feel like, or have felt this. The world seems stacked against us and the battle we're facing seems like it's going to have to be fought by ourselves. It doesn't have to be like that. Our verse below speaks of God's omniscience, knowing all that's happening to everyone, everywhere. Our author is giving us food for thought that God does see us and at some point, we're going to speak with Him for what we've done, both good and bad. God will right the hardships in our lives, but will do it in His time and not ours. Sometimes our difficulties are to steer us in a path that He wants to lead us. We have to keep a faith that believes God is still working His plan in our imperfect world, and know on the end He will judge the righteous and the wicked. Stay the course, you're not alone, choose to believe God sees you, because He does.

13) Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

James 5:16 NIV

James, the brother of Jesus, has a lot to say about sin in the 5th chapter of his book. Our verse below can be challenging for many, as we don't want to let others know how messy and ugly our life is by sharing our sinful secrets with them. James touches on the healing that can come from sharing our struggles with other's, easier said than done. When we confess to other's, we are allowing the sin to come to light, and in most cases, taking the burden and shame of it off our shoulders. Now James is also quick to say that a righteous person's prayers are powerful and effective. Many of us don't trust other's, which is understandable. Christian's have a way of looking down on other's who've sinned, so it's important to put into context who James is talking about that you confide in. Something we need to be mindful of is, we may be the one that someone comes to with a sin that's burdening them. We need to remember that we too need to be righteous in helping other's, just as we would want the same from whomever we would confide in. We're here to share each other's burdens, God designed us with community in mind. Let's make the choice to help others as James has penned out in our verse today.

16) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Romans 10:9 NIV

This verse penned by the Apostle Paul to the Rome church, is probably one of the most well know verses in the Bible. I believe it's also one of the most misunderstood ones. I've said in the past about "lip service" and saying things from the Bible because it's convenient or to puff oneself up. To truly make this verse in Romans reality, God has to place this belief in your heart. There has to be conviction when it's stated, and a knowing in your heart, not just your mind, of what God did and who Jesus is. It's one thing to say you believe in Jesus, but continue to follow the ways of the world. When we do something against God's word, there has to be conviction with it, which is the Holy Spirit working in you. Repentance needs to come from a desire to admit you're wrong and truthfully want to change that behavior. We can say a lot of things with our mouths that we don't believe in our hearts. For our verse today to be true, God is the one who has to open our heart to the truth, otherwise we are just the sounding of a clanging cymbal.

9) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
