Treat your enemy with kindness Wednesday 3rd October 2018 'You will heap coals of fire on his head.' Proverbs 25:22 NKJV The Bible tells us, 'If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for so you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you' (Proverbs 25:21-22 NKJV). What does it mean to 'heap coals of fire on his head'? Charles Swindoll explains that, in ancient days, people heated their homes and cooked their meals on a small portable stove. A person who ran low on hot coals would need to go and replenish their supply. The container was usually carried on the head, so as the person passed beneath the first-storey windows of neighbouring houses, any...
The Bible says,"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor".Now one thing I've been on the receiving end of myself,is when someone has a problem, they blame me for being the cause of it.{Like, making a scapegoat of me.}Examples, I have a neighbor who has health problems the last several months, so he asks me to ride his car around the lot so the battery does'nt get weak, etc.Then yesterday when I was going to bring it into the dealer to do tinting,it wouldn't start. He called the auto club,who saw the battery was dead, and couldn't be jump started, because the brake light was not able to be turned off,because the "clip" came loose.It was noones fault, a mechanical glitch.But wouldn't you know,after helping this guy with...
Pray. Listen. Act Tuesday 2nd October 2018 'Look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you.' Ezekiel 40:4 NIV When we're praying, we can be so busy telling God all the things we want him to do, that we forget to take time to listen to him. If we stop to listen to what he has to say, he can use us in great ways. Many of the Old Testament books are written by prophets. From Isaiah to Jeremiah, Hosea to Ezekiel, they listened to what God had to say. On one occasion, God came to Ezekiel in the form of a man who said: 'Look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here' (Ezekiel 40:4 NIV). We may feel that we...
Your pruning process Monday 1st October 2018 'So [you] will produce even more.' John 15:2 NLT Jesus said the 'vine dresser' (God) 'cuts off every branch...that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes [cuts back] the branches that do bear fruit so they...produce even more' (John 15:2 NLT). God cuts some things off. Things that stand in the way of our progress. Things he didn't choose for us. Things that will bring us trouble. Things that refuse to change. God also cuts some things back. A pruned fruit tree initially doesn't look its best. And when God starts cutting back certain things in our lives in order to redirect us, for a while we may not look so good either. Sometimes this means letting go of comfortable things, or...
