Be Wise

Well, I was taking a break from the dreaded work of packing up for a move, and I sat down and started to read from the Proverbs of Solomon. His wisdom just seemed to minister to my heart as I read and considered the work we will be doing in the Plateau Region.

The Proverbs of Solomon are designed to teach people how to live their lives properly, allowing God to be in control. It’s not about us, it’s all about HIM!

Here are a few things that ministered to me today:

1. Put God in whatever you do. Proverbs 16:1-4, 9, 33

2. Double check to make sure your motives are right. Proverbs 16:2, 25; 20:9

4. If you want your friendships to last, use your tongue wisely. Proverbs 16:28; 17:9; 17:14; 20:3

5. It’s better to have peaceful relationships than lots of money. Proverbs 17:2

6. Work hard at whatever you do. Proverbs 18:9; 19:24; 20:13

7. Jesus is the best and most faithful friend you’ll ever have. Proverbs 18:24

8. Don’t blame God when things go wrong. Proverbs 19:3

God is so awesome! I am convinced that He is going to bless abundantly as we press into the future, but His blessing is, of course, contingent upon us being obedient to His Word. We must walk wisely, and always trust in Him.

I'll Be Moving Soon

Well, it's time to pack up and prepare to move from Wartburg to Crossville on Saturday. I have found a beautiful little place in the mountains, and I just love it. It's a little bigger than what I've lived in for the past seven years, and much more private (although I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here).

The next few days are going to be busy ones, so I may not have time to post here again until next week. I promise I'm going to try to do better about giving regular updates, though.

For anyone who may be interested, my new mailing address is P.O. Box 262, Crossville, TN 38557.
