A gentle word can calm the strife,
And turn away the rage of life.
A joyful heart brings cheer each day,
And lights the path along the way.
The wise seek knowledge and understanding,
Their thoughts and words are never demanding.
The foolish spout their folly and pride,
Their arrogance a constant tide.
The Lord sees all and knows the heart,
His love and grace will never depart.
So seek His ways and trust His might,
And find in Him eternal light.

“ Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you. "

Have we discovered the secret of being attractive?
"That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar."
Proverbs 19 verse 22
As a young man, courting, I wondered what made one attractive, but in truth, whilst kindness is most definitely an attractive quality, that's not the context of this proverb. The context is all relationships and what is true for men is true for women: kindness is a noble, Christlike quality that makes others desire to spend more time with us.
The second part of the proverb adds a second noble characteristic: integrity. The Christian Way is to stand by the truth even if it costs us. Better to be poor and tell the truth, than to compromise and think we are going to profit from compromise.
Easy calls to action today: be kind and tell the truth. I'm sure we will all find opportunities to carry out random acts of kindness!

Proverbs 23:25
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. (KJV)
#Think #Encouragement #ChristCentered #WordOfLife
Picking up on yesterday's theme with our Proverb of the Day:
"A man of many companions may be ruined,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 18 verse 24
In the great review of Life, I'm certain it will be our closest relationships that we be shown to be of greatest importance. This proverb is in no way criticising our sisters or our brothers but rather stating that there are some friends that are even more amazing than immediate family. To become that kind of friend to someone must rate as one of the most noble ambitions.
To be Christlike is to be a friend that sticks closer than a brother. And what a wonderful concept it is to 'stick' with one another through thick and thin, through good times and bad times, the best of times and the worst of times.
Here's to friendship and to strengthening them today.

Luke 6:46-48a (NLT)
Building on a solid foundation
46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48a It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. [When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built.]
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified by the Bible narrative. daytime.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (high in the sky on the left (West)) illuminates this scene, casting vague shadows to the right and below figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
A family: father (in green), mother (in purple), daughter (in brown) and son (in yellow) robes.
Four Rock Hyraxes.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene shows a family building a house. Notice that they are digging away sand and are building only on solid rock.
I decided to find out what the Bible refers to as a wise animal and include that in the picture, to expand the idea of wisdom in the illustration. Proverbs chp 30 came to my rescue, indicating four animals that are considered wise (see below). I decided to draw Rock Hyraxes; as their name suggests, these small rodents live among craggy rocks. By including them in the picture I am parallelling the wisdom of the family building their house on a solid rock foundation. Notice there four Rock Hyrax (Mother, Father & two children), which is another parallel of the “wise” family.
As Jesus pointed out, the wise people are those that listen to his teaching, and then follow it. In other words, they hear Jesus’ words and put them into action in their own lives, rather than ignoring Jesus’ words and gaining no earthly or eternal benefits from them (as the fool or unwise person does).
Proverbs 30:24-28 - New International Version
24 “Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25 Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;
26 conies [1] are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts have no king,
yet they advance together in ranks;
28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces.”
[1]
That is, the hyrax or rock badger.
A note about the Conies (or Rock Baders, or Rock Hyrax).
The latin name for the small furry mammal Rock Hyrax is Procavia capensis. Native to Africa and the Middle East, adult Rock Hyraxes weigh 8.8–11.0 lb (4–5 kg), they are found at elevations up to 13,800 ft (4,200 metres) above sea level in habitats with rock crevices, allowing them to escape from predators. They are most active in the morning and evening, although their activity pattern varies substantially with season and climate.
It is not entirely clear what the Hebrew writer of Proverbs had in mind regarding the identification of this animal. The Hebrew word “shaphan” used in verse 26 might be translated as Hyrax (Rock Badger), or as "cony" (rabbit). Some commentaries translate the word as "a hare, hedgehog, or rabbit," while others refer to them as"Arabian mice".
Regardless of their true identification, these animals make their homes in rocks. Though they are small and weak, nevertheless they have the wisdom to find security in the rocks, which is what the writer of Proverbs is referring to.
By comparison, we human beings (though we are also quite physically weak) can only find real security in the Rock, namely Jesus the Christ. This message of security afforded by the Lord is found everywhere throughout the Bible, some examples below:
Psalm 18:2: "The Lord is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust...."
Psalm 40:2 "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a Rock, and established my goings."
Psalm 61:2 "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
Whilst in the New Testament, the apostle Paul remarks concerning the wandering children of Israel:
1 Corinthians 10:4 "...for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
