LEARNING TO LEAN​​!

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.“

I have had the DELIGHTFUL (I mean that sarcastically) experience of being struck with shingles. No, not the kind you put on your roof to keep out the rain, but the medical condition.

Most times a case of shingles produces blisters and extreme pain. I had that to some extent, but unfortunately my strain took a more sinister turn and went into the nerves of my left leg. It caused me to lose the feeling in that leg and resort to crutches until the condition ran its course.

During that time of pain and paralysis I learned more and more to depend upon the Lord. I was to face even more situations that would force me to lean heavily upon the Lord. Loss physically, financially, emotionally or the death of a loved one forces us to lean on the One who is always there and never fails.

If you are leaning on finances or others as your support, that may be fine. I am here to remind you that those resources may not always be there for you. On the other hand, the Lord Jesus Christ is here now and always. Jesus never fails!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and be a blessing!

THE LORD IS IN CONTROL​!

Proverbs 16:1-3

“The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.”

OBEY THE SIGNS!

Proverbs 16:25 – Devotional

Proverbs 16:25

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.“

One time I noticed a young woman slouched over speaking into a cell phone. My eyes were drawn to the sign that she was leaning against. It read: DEAD END STREET.

Wow! That hit me like a ton of bricks. How many times do we see people around us who are living on a dead-end street? We also can face many dead-end streets in our own life.

Even though there are caution signs, all too often people fail to ignore the warning signs and suddenly come to a sudden and catastrophic stop at the end. Warning signs are the time to either turn around or collide.

We may listen to the sweet enticement to seek the pleasures of sin, but to do so will inevitably lead us onto a dead-end street. Sad! Sad! The bitter wail!

But there is an option. If we find ourselves on a dead-end street, we need to immediately make a U-turn. In Scripture we find that U-turn described by one word…REPENTANCE! If you are on a dead-end street, repent as soon as possible. When I was a teen we had an expression: “TURN! DON’T BURN!”

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

GOD’S LOVING EYE​!

Proverbs 18:8 – Devotional

Proverbs 18:8

“I will counsel you with My loving eye on you.“

Just because a person lacks their eyesight does not mean they are blind — they are just not able to use their eyes. That may sound strange, but sometimes a visually impaired person develops keen senses through touch and sound that makes them very aware of what is going on around them. Discernment does not rely on one particular sense we may or may not possess. It is true that people with 20/20 eyesight may be “blind” to things that are going on around them.

I recall a couple that operated a spiritual retreat center in the beautiful hills of Idaho. I had listened to the wife welcome guests and explain the amenities several times before, so this time I just sat at the rear of the room and observed.

It was then that I noticed her husband. He was also sitting near me in the rear of the room, but he was communicating with his wife with his eyes and by slight nods or shakes of his head.

After the welcome session I spoke with the couple and discovered that the husband was so shy he could not speak to a group. The wife on the other hand, depended on the husband’s subtle cues to insure she was presenting things properly. What a team! We all need to be aware of the cues the Lord sends our way.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
