He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Seemingly Justified
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:2 As a Christian, I don’t think that any of us want to do wrong, go the wrong way, or make a wrong decision. Sometimes, however, we react negatively to a situation but feel that we had… Continue reading Seemingly Justified
Proper Conduct
Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright. Proverbs 20:11 Do you always practice what you preach?

Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.Proverbs 3:27 Hebrews 13:16 also reminds us not to neglect doing good and sharing what we have, ‘for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.’ A simple act of goodness brings pleasure to our Father in heaven.… Continue reading When Opportunity Knocks
Law of Liberty
Do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.Proverbs 3:11,12 It is often said that ‘rules are made to be broken’, although that usually comes from someone trying to justify what they’ve done. I have… Continue reading Law of Liberty
Choices, Choices
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.Proverbs 3:7,8 What is driving you to do the things that you do? Take a moment and think about the different things you have done so far this week.… Continue reading Choices, Choices
Heed Instruction
Proverbs 10:17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. As young Christians we blindly accept all we are taught and why wouldn’t we? We all need guidance when we start off in this new life. Reading and following the bible can seem like a daunting… Continue reading Heed Instruction
