The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways Proverbs 14:14 ESV We're all on a journey, all walking...and this proverb speaks not about the destination but the result of how we journey. How we journey bears fruit...if my focus is on me and my comfort, then yes the journey might be easier, but maybe less fulfilling... If my focus is on others, then how I journey, how I spend my time, skills, gifts, money, will be different... How did Jesus journey? On purpose, to do God's will, to Love people...and to ultimately die a criminals death, rejected, broke, naked...but the fruit of that! Thats us! And no better way to be reminded, recharged, refocused about what really matters than when we choose to come together and worship the servant King... #proverbs #somethingtochewon #itshowwejourney #noretreat #dearlyloved #sunday #worship

The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways. Proverbs 14:14 ESV Someone once said that consuming the Proverbs was like consuming a barley sugar, a hard sweet that you roll around in your mouth and slowly extract its goodness...the words 'flinch' and 'retreat' have been rolling around in my mind since yesterday... Jesus, in the garden, considering what was coming, flinched. But he did not retreat. In the greatest act of love he stayed the course, he stayed on the cross, when he so easily could've walked away. Jesus chose to stay. To pay the price only he could pay so that we don't have to. This is love. A one way thing. An outpouring. There was no retreat for Jesus...becuase he loves us. You. Me. #proverbs #somethingtochewon #grace #noretreat #dearlyloved
