Day of Praise

Th, Apr 4, 5th Day of Easter. "Day of Praise"

"Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord." - Proverbs 16:20

It's been a long time since we've kept one this simple, so let's make today the day.

Jesus does not send out Know-it-alls to make Know-it-alls. He sends out disciples to make disciples. In other words, Jesus wants us to be constantly learning from him, even as we're inviting and encouraging others to be constantly learning from Jesus too.

So let's all "prosper" in the way that God intends, with our constant reception of the richness and riches of God's Word because we are constantly learning from God through Jesus.

When I was a kid, people would mimic a TV show, saying, "live long and prosper." However, God simply teaches us a slight variation, "learn lots and prosper." Indeed, that's what God calls us to do, namely, learn lots each day from the Lord and true prosperity will come our way.

"Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord." - Proverbs 16:20

Praise God!
