  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing.

BABIES AND MEN

BABIES AND MEN 

1Corinthians 13:8-13
Devotional:-“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (v.11) NKJV

   Everyone including Jesus was born as a baby. But we are not expected to remain a baby for the rest of our lives. To remain a baby is a curse and a trap of the devil. It is funny sometimes to see an adult behaving like baby and this disturbs us. It is therefore important to know what the attitude and attribute of a baby is and that of an adult.

A baby always misplaces priorities. In other words, he does not know what is really important. This means, he can play away with less important things at the expense of important thing. He lacks self-control, He can’t organize himself and discipline himself to walk in his schedule. Adult will have to help in controlling him always. Weak in appetite, emotion, sex, food, leisure and not knowing when to stop.  

A baby has an instant gratification and not able to resist the urge to do what feel good at the moment. A baby is self-centered and incapable of considering others.Adult are people who could consider others alongside with themselves. Adult can exercise self-control and not wait to be rebuked or disgraced. They are patience and can endure in situations. They don’t break down because of pain but use it to build up in strength to overcome. Adult disciplined himself to go through temporary pain for permanent solution. They give consideration to the future as they go through today. They grow in principles of wisdom. Friends, measure your life with this information to know where you are for your growth. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to grow up as an adult.
