I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

5.1.12

Proverbs 14:16 The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fool plunge ahead with reckless confidence.

My Thoughts
This verse tells me as Christians we are to carefully consider every actions we take... We can really mess up if we make a decision with reckless confidence.  I think this is  saying as Christians we often "think" we know what God would want and then we act without going to God first.  This is dangerous. We need to consult God in all that we do.  If we are going into a situation where we have to make a quick decision we should pray for wisdom before we get there.  It is so important to consult God in every situation. We are wise when we are cautious, when we make sure we are avoiding danger. We do this by going to God with all the decisions we make in our lives.
