Proverbs 12 and God’s success formula…
December 12th, 2011
A daily practice I started years ago during my devotion time is the reading and studying of the Proverb corresponding with the day of the month. Proverbs 12 is one of the shorter Proverbs but it contains a powerful recipe for success. Below is a stream of “success” virtues laid forth for us from Proverbs [...]

Proverbs 6:6-11, “Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise. Without leader, administrator, or ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest.

Most of the [...]
Proverbs 13…get rich slow AND steady wins the race
May 12th, 2011
If there is one thing I’ve learned in life is the fact there are no free lunches. In the 13th Proverb Solomon clearly states what it takes in order to grow wealth and it is a 4 letter word many people do not want to hear…W-O-R-K. Although work is the key to growing wealth it [...]
Proverbs 12…P.E.A.C.E
May 11th, 2011
The 12th Proverb touches on several aspects of effective living. It was easy to pull a verse and match it with each of the letters of my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic. As I’ve touched on several times in the past; successful people have a Plan, put forth consistent Effort to execute the plan, have an Attitude that believes [...]
