Sinkholes

Like falling into a bottomless pit, the person who constantly compares their stuff to others will never stop. Today, instead of looking at everything around you, and wanting it, try looking at what you have and being grateful for it.

Proverbs 27:20 (HCSB): Sheol and Abaddon  are never satisfied,
and people’s eyes are never satisfied.

Dialogue

We may not be able to speak things into existence, but we can certainly affect our attitude and perception of a situation by how we think (internal dialogue), which affects how we talk (external dialogue). How do most of your conversations about work sound? They're affecting your performance, and thereby, your pay!

Proverbs 12:14 (HCSB): A man will be satisfied with good
by the words of his mouth, and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.

Devil in the details

It only takes on crime to make a criminal, and that label will overshadow every other deed.  Is the devil in your details? If so, you might want to "cast him out" by watching all your actions! It's the little things that matter.

Proverbs 12:10 (HCSB): A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.

Attraction Theory

According to psychologists who study the theory of attraction, people are attracted to similarity. In other words, what you see in your spouse is what they see in you! Do you like what you see in your mate? If not, maybe you're the one who needs to change!

Proverbs 12:4 (HCSB): A capable wife  is her husband’s crown, but a wife who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Returns

Whether it's rewards on a credit card, interest rates on savings accounts, dividends on stocks, or simply paying someone for a task, we all want a good return on our investment. In life, tomorrow's returns are determined by your actions today. What will your returns be?

Proverbs 11:17 (HCSB): A kind man benefits himself,
but a cruel man brings disaster on himself.

Co-signer needed

Most of us would never co-sign a loan for a stranger because we would be responsible for the debt they can’t pay! Jesus didn’t just co-sign your debt of sin, though, he committed and paid it in full! Today, will you live grateful for His payment?

Proverbs 11:15 (HCSB):  If someone puts up security for a stranger,
he will suffer for it, but the one who hates such agreements is protected.

Birds

A bird doesn’t sing because it can fly, but it certainly can fly because it sings! Today, will you choose to sing, rejoice, and be free , or stay caged in sin

Proverbs 29:6 (HCSB): An evil man is caught by sin,
but the righteous one sings and rejoices.
