Divine Interruptions
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV) Prayer “Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me. I surrender every area of my mind, will, and emotions to You. Use me for Your […]
The Tongue of the Wise
Scripture “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” (Proverbs 12:18, NIV) Word It’s easy to see how words can be used like a weapon. We’ve all either been “cut” by the words of others, or we’ve used words to put someone “in their place.” The truth of the […]
The Position of Power
“Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense” (Proverbs 19:11, AMP) Prayer “Father in heaven, today I release every care, concern, offense and disappointment to You.

Iron Sharpens Iron
Scripture “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17, NIV) Word One of the best things I’ve learned is that God does not bring people into our lives so that we can make them just like us. God loves variety and He wants us to be different from each other. He’s given […]
A Heart at Peace
Scripture “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” (Proverbs 14:30, NIV) Word The best thing you can do for health is to set your heart at peace with God. Peace is such a powerful position. It is a position of life and strength. Peace literally means “to set […]
Sow Righteousness
Scripture “…he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.” (Proverbs 11:18, NIV) Word God’s kingdom operates on a system of sowing and reaping. Have you heard the saying, “What goes around, comes around?” That’s really a spiritual principle. What you sow, you will reap. Today’s verse tells us that when we sow righteousness, we’ll reap […]
Be Generous
Scripture “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV) Word Do you need refreshing today? So many people go around overwhelmed, tired, worn down, barely getting by. But that’s not God’s best. He wants us to prosper. He wants us to be refreshed. Here’s the key: be […]
Align Your Thoughts
Scripture “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7, NKJV) Word Sometimes we need to just stop and think about what we are thinking about! The Bible tells us that what happens on the inside of us—our thoughts, attitudes and motives—are more important to God than what happens on the outside. […]
Lean on Him
Scripture “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5, NIV) Word Are you facing a situation that seems like it has no logical solution? Sometimes we have to turn our minds off, stop trying to figure it all out, stop overanalyzing, and stop researching everything. When […]
