May 29, 2010 A Flourishing Life
Today’s Bible Reading: Proverbs 10; Proverbs 11; Proverbs 12; Romans 10 (The Message)
Scripture Focus:
Proverbs 10:22 God’s blessing makes life rich;
nothing we do can improve on God.
Proverbs 11: 28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump;
a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
Proverbs 12:2 A good person basks in the delight of God
Observation:
There were so many good Proverbs that it was hard to pick one! I love the emphasis on focusing on God rather than things.
Application:
Life is short. Eternity is long. Does it make sense to focus so hard on the things of this world that are temporary and give God the leftovers of my life?
Prayer:
Father God, I want my life to be a tree of life, not a stump. Only you are the source of a flourishing life.
Scripture Focus:
nothing we do can improve on God.
a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
