Only heroes jump in to save the day right? Regular people like us aren't expected to go out of our way for others. Sometimes it's just too much to step in. Besides, God knows our hearts.

If this sounds familiar then today's passage is for you. It's for us. It's for anyone who calls themselves a follower of Christ.

Failure is something that we all face at some point in our lives. As a believer in Christ though, our response to failure should be different to how the world responds. Today’s devo is focused on how we can leverage failure for growth.

How often do we find ourselves envying people who haven’t submitted their lives to God’s will? It’s hard for us to say now but the Bible calls those people evil. Today’s passage reminds us not to be envious of evil people but also gives us an alternative path to reach true fulfillment.

How often do we see non-Christians living it up? Sometimes we see what appears to be the most godless people, living sinful lives, yet they appear to have good health, no money issues, no family issues, just an “easy” life. Well, the word talks about that.

Every parent wants the best for their children. As a Christian parent, we also realize that what’s best for our children is about more than their success and happiness but about them choosing the life of a disciple of Jesus. Today’s passage talks about one of the hardest but necessary aspects of parenting, discipline.

Two things that Proverbs tends to talk a lot about are money and people. Today’s passage combines the two to talk about how money can or should influence how we engage with people. It’s some great wisdom so let’s dive in.

We all get forgetful now and then, especially during this age of busyness. We set reminders, alarms, alerts, timers and more just to keep our schedules and tasks at the forefront of our brains. Why don’t we do this with the Word of God? In fact, God has outlined a plan to help us remember His Word so that it will help others and ourselves to grow in Him: Listen, apply, and keep.

If you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, mentor, teacher, youth pastor, or frequently work or interact with young people in any capacity, then listen up!

Our culture is in a constant pattern of comparison. We are constantly bombarded with messages about what we have and don’t have and if we aren’t careful we can fall into the trap of measuring our worth as people and our very identity by the things that we have. Today’s passage reminds us how we are all the same yet our choices will shape our path.

At some point we have all had to deal with these types of people. You know, the ones who have no filter and just say whatever pops into their head. We've come across lazy yet greedy folks too - people who want it all, but unwilling to work for anything. We have even dealt with manipulative folks, always looking how to get someone from somebody. Or even worse, we are these types of people.
