Daily Devotion: Proverbs 28:25-26

Proverbs 28:25-26 "He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. (26) He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered."

We often hear it said, "Follow your heart." That sounds good, but there is a problem with that. God's Word tells us, "The heart is deceitful above all things..." (Jeremiah 17:9) We read that the heart can become haughty and filled with pride. The heart can become sorrowful and cause us to look inward rather than upward. There are many problems that can arise when we "follow our heart".

No doubt, there will be a "joyful noise" as families gather together to enjoy a delicious feast. Laughter and joy will be abundant. I am so thankful for that blessing of gladness upon our hearts and minds. God is so good. As we enter into the festivities, may our hearts and minds be filled with true thanksgiving unto the Lord for His goodness and mercy upon us. Though it is impossible to

Daily Devotion: Genesis 3:15

Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." In this verse we see the first prophecy concerning the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The work of Jesus Christ is in opposition to the work of the serpent (Satan). (Romans 8:6-8 ) "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (8 ) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." The carnal mind with which we all have to contend is the offspring of the transgression in the Garden. After their sin, carnality became a constant and daily battle. It was because of sin that Jesus came to this earth. "... "For to be carnally minded is death..." The spiritual mind is the offspring of the work of the seed of the woman - Jesus. &
