Shalom,


We know by now that the Proverbs are filled with nuggets of Wisdom that will benefit every person who puts them into practice! Here is a vital one for you in Proverbs 20:19:


19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; therefore associate not with him who talks too freely.


This is such a good Word of warning! Why would we ever think that a person who will so freely gossip about or "bad-mouth" someone else, will only speak highly of us or keep our confidences? A good rule to have for your life is to NOT share anything with someone not qualified to help you! That would definitely include anyone who is not a like-minded believer! This decision will save a lot of hurt and heartache later! Thank You, Jesus, for WISDOM!


Galatians 4:4-7 is the Good News of the Gospel!


4 But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law, 5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God's sons]. 6 And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father! 7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir by the aid of God, through Christ.


We ARE, by His Grace and plan and purpose, HIS sons, and there is nothing in this world that we could ever do to make ourselves "better"! Dare to believe what the Word of God says about who you are and then LIVE IT! Amen!




Esther 5-6 reveals the step-by-step plan that the One, True God used to expose Haman and reward Mordecai! I LOVE God's perfect timing in every situation! It may seem like things are taking too long, but God's timing is ALWAYS the very best timing! We'll see the results tomorrow! 




Shalom in Him!
