Follower of One : Missions For The Rest Of Us

The passage for today is Proverbs 21:13. It says, "He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be answered."

This verse warns us that if we are not compassionate to the poor, we will not be shown compassion ourselves. We need to have compassion for the people around us, especially those who are struggling financially or in other ways.

As Christians, we are called to be compassionate and to help those in need. We should not ignore the poor or turn a blind eye to their suffering. Instead, we should reach out to them and offer them our help.

There are many ways that we can help the poor. We can donate money to charities that support the poor, volunteer our time at soup kitchens or homeless shelters, or simply reach out to those in need in our own communities.

No matter how we choose to help, the important thing is that we do something. We cannot afford to ignore the poor and needy. We must have compassion for them and show them the love of Christ.

Let us all remember the words of Proverbs 21:13 and open our hearts to the cry of the poor. Let us be compassionate and generous, and let us help those in need.

The passage for today is Proverbs 20:3. It says, "Honor belongs to the person who ends a dispute, but any fool can get himself into a quarrel."

This proverb is reminding us that it is better to avoid conflict than to engage in it. It is easy to get into a quarrel, but it takes wisdom and maturity to end one.

As Christians, we are called to be peacemakers. We should strive to avoid conflict and to resolve disputes peacefully. When we do this, we bring honor to ourselves and to God.

Let's all ask God to help us to be dispute-enders. Let's choose to avoid conflict and to seek peace in all of our relationships.

The passage for today is John 1:14. It says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

This verse tells us that Jesus is the glory of God in human flesh. He is the only Son of God, and He came to earth to save us from our sins.

We can enjoy Jesus by spending time with Him in prayer, reading the Bible, and worshiping Him. We can also enjoy Him by serving others and sharing His love with the world.

Let's all take some time today to enjoy Jesus. Let's thank Him for coming to earth to save us, and let's ask Him to help us to live our lives for Him.

The passage for today is Proverbs 19:20. It says, "Listen to counsel and accept discipline that you may be wise the rest of your days."

This proverb reminds us that we should be open to criticisms and correction from others. This is the only way we can learn and grow. When we are defensive, we are not able to take in new information and we are more likely to make mistakes.

We should also remember that criticism and correction are not always easy to hear. However, if we can learn to accept them with humility, they can be a great blessing to us. They can help us to become better people and to live more fulfilling lives.

Let's all strive to be open to criticism and correction. Let's not be afraid to ask for feedback from others, and let's be willing to listen to what they have to say. If we do this, we will be on our way to becoming wise and successful people.

The passage for today is Proverbs 18:13. It says, "If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame."

This proverb teaches us that it is important to listen before we speak. When we speak before we have heard the whole question or situation, we are likely to say something foolish or embarrassing.

We can avoid this by being patient and waiting to hear everything before we respond. This will help us to avoid making mistakes and damaging our relationships.

Let's all remember to be patient and listen before we speak. This will help us to be more wise and effective communicators.

The passage for today is Proverbs 17:3. It says, "The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests hearts."

This verse tells us that God tests our hearts to show us what we are made of. He does this by allowing us to go through difficult situations. When we face these challenges, we have the opportunity to respond in a way that reflects our true character.

God tests our hearts to help us grow and become more like Him. When we allow Him to refine us, we become stronger and more resilient. We also learn to trust Him more and to rely on His strength.

If you are going through a difficult time, remember that God is testing your heart. He is not trying to punish you, but to help you grow. Trust in Him and allow Him to work in your life. He will bring you through this and make you stronger than ever before.

Remember, God is always with you and He will never leave you or forsake you.

In today's passage, Proverbs 16:16, we are told that it is better to get wisdom than gold, and to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. Wisdom is the skillful application of understanding or knowledge, while understanding is the ability to comprehend something. Both are important, but wisdom is what allows us to put our understanding into practice.

As Christ followers, we have been given the Holy Spirit and access to a greater understanding of the world. We should use this understanding to make a difference in the world by helping others move closer to Jesus. We can do this by sharing our faith, praying for others, and simply being a blessing to those around us.

Let's not let a day pass without moving one notch closer to Jesus and allowing Him to transform our world.

The passage for today is Proverbs 15:8. It says, "The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight."

This verse tells us that God is pleased with the prayers of the righteous. This means that when we pray to God with a sincere heart, He is happy to hear from us.

Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God and to experience His love and peace. It is also a way to ask God for help and guidance in our lives. Let's all make an effort to pray more often.

Let's talk to God about everything that is on our minds and hearts. He is always listening and He is always ready to help us. Prayer is a gift from God. Let's all take advantage of this gift and make it a regular part of our lives.

The passage for today is Proverbs 13:20. It says, "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm."

This verse tells us that the people we surround ourselves with have a big impact on our lives. If we spend time with wise people, we will become wiser. But if we spend time with fools, we will suffer harm.

We should be careful about who we choose to spend our time with. We should seek out wise people who can help us grow in our faith and become more like Jesus. We should also avoid spending time with fools who will lead us astray.

Let's all strive to be wise and to surround ourselves with wise people. Let's also pray for the fools in our lives, that they would come to know Jesus and become wise.

The passage for today is Proverbs 12:15. It says, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice."

This verse tells us that we should not be too sure of our own opinions. We should be open to listening to advice from others, even if it is not what we want to hear.

When we are open to correction, we are more likely to make good decisions and avoid making mistakes. We are also more likely to be successful in our relationships with others.

Let's all remember that we are not always right. Let's be open to listening to advice from others and let's be willing to change our minds when we are presented with new information.

Let's also remember that we are all works in progress. We are all learning and growing. Let's not be afraid to ask for help when we need it.
