2.3.09 Live Well, Proverbs 3


"Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people."

Proverbs 3:3-4


How do you keep your psyche bullet proof in an era of skeptics, doubters, and self-seekers? The "eyes" of people do matter to us, whether we admit it or not. How we live resonates with others around. Our love and loyalty vibrates through and fortifies our relationships with God first, then people. You can hold your head up high, when you first please God. Try to it the other way around and you will be disappointed in yourself and in others. Jesus said we should "forgive." That word is on my daily planner, to remember to "forgive" people who let me down. I realize that I may have let people down myself and can only hope that they would forgive me.


"Resurrection" by Amena Brown

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own."

We sometimes only trust God with the "top" of our heart. Meaning, that we are ready to bail at the first sign of trouble. When you trust God completely, you demonstrate a willingness to weather the storms of life with an understanding that you will emerge a different person, a stronger person. God wants give us the power to overcome all obstacles and that may mean a tough road that conditions our spirit. We are never wise or smart enough to figure it all out. Trust. Your best days start today.

On Mission, On Assignment, and in the ZONE!
