Daily Devo: Prov 28
Ok… this is getting ridiculous…
In an effort to commit myself to daily devos, I’m blogging it. If you don’t see an entry every day, BUG ME ABOUT IT!
Today’s Passage: Proverbs 28 the CEV version is also good.
This really focused on those who desired wealth and/or power. Since I can get sucked away into that thinking, God has provided yet another timely of His priorities vs. mine. When He says “It’s better to be poor and honest, than rich and crooked.” (v6), I wonder just how much I’m willing to trust that statement. It’s easy to be lazy here and think I’m ok just because I haven’t embezzled, or lie, or tricked someone out of their inheritance, but it goes more to the point of just what am I looking to do with “riches”. That was the convicting part of the passage.
What’s amazing is that the gospel message is stuck here in v13.
Prayer: Lord, change my thoughts and desires to you. Help me to give up the things that keep me from following you. Thank you for your undeserved mercy.

Hey…
This is far from sad, it’s admirable.
Did you ever think this might get other people off their butts and spur them onto more devotional time? Well, it will. At at the very least, I’ll be able to read the one you prepared everyday.
Thanks! Good idea.
Thanks for the comment.
Right now, I’m just trying to stay on track, but if you get something from it, all the better!
