REFLECTING ON DECISIONS

DAY 246 A question I would want you to also ponder on came to mind: "Have you thought about what the trajectory of your life would look like had you made different decisions a decade ago?"

DON’T LEAD BLINDLY

DAY 240 Matthew 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

DESIRES THAT PLEASE GOD

DAY 211 1 Kings 3:10 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. It would make little sense for anyone to advance an argument that suggests Solomon made his request at Gibeon on a whim. Attempting to reasonably convince another that he thought only about what to say after God asked... Continue Reading →

DON’T IGNORE THE STORIES OF MEN

DAY 202 Matthew 12:3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? What use is there in understanding the happenings in the lives of those who have passed on?
