Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Proverbs 16:8. Try memorizing it this week!
Today’s reading is from Proverbs 3:27-28, Proverbs 11:24-26, Proverbs 19:17, Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 23:19-21 & Proverbs 25:16
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Gluttony and generosity are opposites: one involves self-motivated overconsumption, while the other focuses on selfless and sacrificial giving. One makes us sick; one makes others well. The true problem with gluttony is not about how much we consume. It has to do with our ability to practice self-control, and essential component of generosity. Generosity is an exercise in self-control because it requires us to give when our instinct is to keep. Consider how today’s proverbs link gluttony and generosity together and let their wisdom hold up a mirror for you. What keeps you from being generous? What appetites have a hold on your heart?
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a lifegroup/church friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations. Pick one each day or pray through them all every day.
