bait

In other words, you're bait waiting to be eaten!


Proverbs 27:8 (HCSB): A man wandering from his home
is like a bird wandering from its nest.

Run!

It doesn't matter what you're running from, it's where you're running to that matters!

Proverbs 18:10 (HCSB): The name of Yahweh is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are protected.

represent

Just as government has the responsibility to obey God's statutes and set laws that support justice, so we, as individuals in roles of authority, have a responsibility to treat others justly and fairly. Today, will you think differently about your decisions knowing you represent God?

Proverbs 16:10 (HCSB): God’s verdict is on the lips of a king;  his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.

Tools

Just like hammers, pliers, and wrenches, your words are tools. Are you using them to build others up, or to tear down?

Proverbs 15:4 (HCSB): The tongue that heals is a tree of life,
but a devious tongue  breaks the spirit.

Proverbs 15:22 (HCSB): Plans fail when there is no counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed.

Wishes

You've probably heard the phrase, "Be careful what you wish for." It's great to get what you want, but you should make sure what you want is the right thing for you! if your desire was fulfilled today, would it be a good thing?

Proverbs 13:19 (HCSB): Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste, but to turn from evil is an abomination to fools.

For your consideration

Being considerate of your neighbor goes much further than you think!

Proverbs 12:26 (HCSB): A righteous man is careful in dealing with his neighbor,
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.

good sense

Proverbs 11:22 (HCSB): A beautiful woman who rejects good sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.

....or anyone else, for that matter! Today, will you accept advice and wisdom?
