Behold my talents, my eloquence and my zeal!
(Octavius Winslow, "Eminent Holiness Essential to an Efficient Ministry")
"I hate pride and arrogance!" Proverbs 8:13
Pride is a protean evil--assuming a thousand varied and opposite forms.
There is no soil so holy, in which the root of pride will not strike.
There is no employment so sacred, on which pride will not engraft itself.
Pride will even make the cross of Christ a pedestal on which to erect its deformed visage! Yes, while exalting Jesus--we may be found but exalting ourselves. And while exclaiming, "Behold the Lamb of God!"--we may be but veiling His true glory behind our insignificant persons; virtually exclaiming, "Behold my talents, my eloquence and my zeal!" Is there not in us, my brethren, a manifest deficiency of the lowly, self-annihilating humility of the Divine Master whom we serve, and whom it should be our aim and glory to resemble?
The glory of God! What a persuasive motive to ministerial holiness! Let it be ours, my brethren--our one, sole, undeviating aim. Let us sacrifice everything that would divert us from it--fame, applause, reputation, popularity, worldly comfort, the dearest interests of self. If any of these come in competition with the honor of divine truth and the glory of God--then let them go!
"The Lord detests all the proud of heart!" Proverbs 16:5
Proverbs 28:7
Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son ... (KJV)

Rob and I have been getting a lot of marital advice lately. More than we even ask for but we are both thankful for the guidance and direction from those much older and wiser than we are.
This little book was a gift from my friend Cherise. In it, are notes for marriage backed-up by scripture.
This is one of our favourites. Its funny but has a great message :)
"Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred." -New International Version.
"A bowl of soup with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate." -
New Living Translation.
Taken for ODC: Note
"Let your eyes look directly ahead, and let your gaze be straight in front of you. Make straight the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established."
Proverbs 4: 25-26
Proverbs 31:14
She is like the merchants ships, she bringeth her food from afar. (KJV)

“In all thy ways acknowledge
him, and he shall direct thy
paths.”
"God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to his side

I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.
–Proverbs 8:17
For as long as I can remember, I've loved this verse. I couldn't point out one thing that was the reason for my love for this verse. Maybe it is the assurance that Jesus loves me, or maybe it is that it is a promise to the young. Maybe it is the fact that God promises that we will find what we're looking for in Him. Maybe it is all of these things. When we seek God, we won't be disappointed; when we love Him we won't be rejected. When we need Him, He will be there for us. He's the definition of constancy. His promises are never broken. Our hearts will never be disappointed, for He is the key that fits into that hole in our hearts, a hole that only He can fill. And best of all, His love never fails.
-Carli

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. (KJV)
#Author #Scriptures #Rock #TheWay #PicOfTheDay
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; he is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
-Proverbs 31:10-31
to my girls here on Flickr: let's try to be more like this woman in Proverbs 31 :)

Proverbs 16:20
20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
Wow, who knew that the key to true happiness is trusting in the Lord? I can honestly say that once I discovered this truth, life's burdens became lighter and a lot of emotional baggage just suddenly disappeared. You may say, "Well, I have tried trusting in the Lord and it's not working". My advice is to hearken unto his word and then you will find trusting him becomes second nature. For me, once I became obedient to the Lord's word in areas of my life that I wanted to trust him to oversee, I know longer found it difficult to trust him in those areas.
Along with the holidays comes pressure from the world of what a "Happy Thanksgiving" or "Merry Christmas" should look like. Do not misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong with participating in a traditional holiday celebration with family and friends. In fact, I would have loved to celebrate Thanksgiving with my siblings especially since this is our first Thanksgiving without our mother. Nonetheless, I have come to realize the Lord is not concerned with tradition like he is obedience. Depending on your walk with Christ and his WILL, he may have called you to do something different this year or perhaps your circumstance have lead you to a different place during the holiday season.
Despite your circumstances whether you are alone for the holidays, a single parent with children, sick in a hospital bed, going through a divorce, or in a foreign land on a missionary trip, please remember one thing. Remember to trust in the Lord and this is the key to being happy.
Remember only what you do for Christ will last!
Yours In Him,
