Friday! Already!
From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.
Proverbs 12:14 NIV
What we say
And
What we do
So often we focus on the negative, don't do...don't say...don't talk like that
But this proverb is all about the blessing that flows from speaking well and of doing good.
Sometimes its easy...its an overflow of a heart that is joyful... and then there are times when its hard, when we feel that life stinks, our hearts are dry...
And this proverb gently encourages us to speak life anyway, to do good anyway... and while the reward may not be immediate...it will arrive :)

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
