Proverbs 7:4, Say unto wisdom,
Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman. Are the things of
God more like a dear family member or the cranky neighbor down the block? What
can you do to enhance and build the relationship? ‘Ball’s in your court...

101:1-2a, I will sing of mercy and
judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a
perfect way. What revival would occur if each of us would resolve to only
worry about what we can control, and then actually control it?
- Tuesday, 9/4/18 The
entire Christian life is to be done by faith...even when it comes to problems
and afflictions. James 1:2, My brethren,
count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations... “COUNT IT”: mark
it down in the record books that this is a source of joyful goodness.

Kings 15:3-4a, And he did that which was
right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had
done; save that the high places were not removed... Having human examples
is good, but be sure to choose ones that push you to excellence and don’t allow
you to wallow in mediocrity.

Philippians 3:1, Finally, my
brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is
not grievous, but for you it is safe. Repetition from the pulpit may seem
to be boring, but it is beneficial and safe.

Kings 12:28, Whereupon the king took
counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for
you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt. Beware of a religion that is too convenient; one that
doesn’t demand much from you.

Corinthians 12:21, And the eye cannot say
unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have
no need of you. Very simply: how tolerant are you of other, different parts
of the Lord’s body (the local church)? It’s not about you or me; it’s about US,
together, serving HIM.
- Tuesday, 7/31/18 “Boy
God sure seems to be mad at me!!” (Ever thought something like that? Felt
picked on? Ignored?) Hebrews 11:6, But
without faith it is impossible to please him... Basically, faith is acting
rightly in a difficult situation, so the difficulties ARE a way of pleasing
Him, so He’s actually favoring us by afflicting us.

Matthew 19:20, The young man saith
unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Though this man’s problem was pride, he, at least, was not satisfied with being
“good enough,” but wanted to be better. Beware of complacency and satisfaction
in your level of godliness.
- Tuesday, 7/10/18 Titus
1:13b, Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith... This whole book was written to a
preacher. Can you handle it when he obeys this verse? How have you handled it
recently? Do you willingly let the preacher stomp on your toes? Do you pray for
him?
