In reply to Brennan McPherson. That was the theme of the devotional for my girls yesterday ! The powerful poison of the tongue. Compared to the poison dart frog in Louie Giglio ‘indescribable ‘ devotions with science for children. Amazing stuff.

Psalm 139 is so good, isn’t it! “O Lord, you have searched me and known me!” – Psalm 139:1 LOVE that psalm.

Jonathan – it’s simple, but hard to put into practice and keep in balance! Thanks for your encouragement. I’m sure he will bless you for the same. 🙂

Genia, what a great reminder for all of us. How hard is it to always speak with love and kindness? “The tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness.” – James 3:6 But the Spirit renews our minds and words. What a wonderful gift, that he changes us like that.

In reply to Paul Priore. Paul, totally agree! You find SO much joy and fulfillment through it, it's like the difference between life and not-being-alive.

Targeted to my soul this a.m. Mine is word gsmes. I am a reader also and have begun pruning my reading. Your Biblical fiction is a gresource. Reading now Hunter in Valley of Death. God satisfied my soul this a.m. with His steadfast love through Psalm 139 and your Sabbath devotion.

In reply to Brennan McPherson. Brennan, Well said brother. The Lord has be dealing with me on this very thing and I took the same steps you have taken. This is a needed word in our society. The Lord will bless and prosper you for putting Him first.

Brennan thank you for that reminder. I spoke with God this morning asking Him to put His hand over my mouth because I have the tendency to speak without thinking. That is my black hole right there. I am going to purpose in my heart and soul this week to speak with love and kindness.
Thank you again!

You nailed it: “He will use our earthly nature to get us to choose “me time” over “God time” every time. ” But I have found that once I’m filling myself with my Bible and prayer for a good amount of time (months), I forevermore feel so EMPTY without it. This hit me somewhere around 30 years ago. Once anyone realizes the difference, there’s no question as to what you should (need to) do. It’s right there waiting for you. And you know better than to push it away. That’s just not a good choice! Bible and prayer for today – CHECK!

In reply to Sandra Padgett. I'm so glad it's been helpful to you! That's what I've been praying toward, and hoping for, so your comment is a great encouragement to me this morning. Blessings, and happy reading! :)
