Inspiration/Bible Verses

[in the dog house!]

I have to admit, that last verse from Proverbs just slapped me in the face fellers. I'm the worst about venting my issues it seems. I really learned something from this verse, gonna be tough not to vent so much I'm telling you.

I think there is a difference in venting and asking for help or guidance or advice from your friends MUP. We are here to help each other. You have to explain your situation in to get the right advice. I don't see that as venting.

We are all brothers, here to help one another when possible right?

Pray at all times

May your love abound more & more

[MUP]

Seek first his kingdom
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:31-34 NIV

[MUP]

Pride brings us low...be humble
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.

James 4:10,11 NIV

The LORD the Shepherd of His People
A Psalm of David.

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23 NKJV

Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
