Ep. 148: Mirror, Mirror — Devotion

Devotion on Christian Living, Comparison, Proverbs 14:30. 

A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot (Proverbs 14:30).

I look in the mirror. My two-year-old is crying in the background because we ran out of his favorite cereal. I cannot remember the last time I took a shower, and I just realized that I am out of the main ingredient to make dinner tonight. Sound familiar? How does God get you through these times?

Ep. 147: Caring for the Caregiver — Devotion

Devotion on Caregiving, Isaiah 41:10. 2 pages.

fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).

Providing care for a loved one, whether an infant, a child, a teenager, a spouse, a parent, a grandparent, or a sibling can be a challenge. Without encouragement, a caregiver can become disheartened. How can we continue to let the light of Jesus’ love shine through us.

Ep. 144: Drive Wisely — Devotion

Devotion on Christian Living, Wisdom

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance … (Proverbs 1:5). 

Driver’s Education involves four stages: classroom, written test, observation, and behind the wheel. In the classroom phase, a beginner hears about driving. But hearing alone does not guarantee a passing grade on the written test. One must learn the material. Then as the student watches others drive, learning shifts to understanding. Knowing how to use a turn signal 200 feet before an intersection differs from visually recognizing where 200 feet actually begin. Finally when the pupil climbs behind the wheel, applied learning results in a successful trip. While no analogy is perfect, we see in Proverbs 1:5 a similar process for attaining wisdom.
