Flattery Will Get You?

2341) There’s a difference between encouraging and flattering. When we encourage, we are supporting someone. We hope to bring confidence and maybe hope. (Oxford Languages.) To flatter someone, we give insincere praise, usually to further one’s own interests. (Oxford Languages.) The word flatter in Hebrew is chalaq, which means to separate and divide.

Examples

2313) I had someone ask me if I feel “unworthy” to write about the spiritual life we should have in these minute devotions. They weren’t trying to insult me; instead, their sincere question was, do you have to be perfect in the areas of your spiritual life which you write about? It is a relief

Bowing Down

2312) Most people in our country have heard the name of Jesus. The name can come up in casual reading; amidst swearing; in the news and more. What I wonder about the people who use his name casually is what or who they think Jesus is? Is he just someone people generally think of at

Winning Against Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s

The Second Time

2304) When Jesus became a human and lived on this earth, he was born for one purpose: to die and atone for each of us because we are sinful and separated from God. The sacrifice Jesus made for us cost him more than just his life. But the second time Jesus comes, Hebrews 9:28 tells

A Step Back

2288) When I look at verses like Proverbs 1:7, I sometimes think, this verse isn’t about me. Why? The verse says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Certainly, I have the “fear” or reverence for the Lord, but it is the second part of this verse

Who Are You Serving?

2286) I confess, I really hate it when someone is angry or upset with me. I know this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it gives me the opportunity to make things right. However, 1 Corinthians 7:23 tells me I was bought with a price (that was Jesus’ paying here); do not become bondservants of

A Clean Slate

2285) Reading my Bible is a continual reminder that God is not like us. Yes, we are created in his image, but God is far beyond anything we’ll ever be. (Isn’t that good news!) Psalm 103:12 tells us God has removed our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. When

Hearing Ears

2283) When I was in college, I had a roommate who was from Japan. I was amazed at her comprehension of the English language but even with this, she sometimes struggled with understanding. Why? Because English is a language that has many figures of speech. So many things we say can’t be taken literally. The
