Day 23 Proverbs Challenge: Do What Jesus Did

by Sharman J. Monroe

“My son, give me your heart,
And let your eyes observe my ways.”

Proverbs 23:26 (NKJV)

We face thousands of questions everyday. Should I wear this or that? Should I take quit this job for another? Should I leave this marriage or stay and work on it? Should I get a new car? Should I straighten out the person spreading lies about me? Should I help my brother . . . again? Should I buy that house? How can I get back the friend who betrayed me? Should I just turn my back on my drug-addicted or alcohol-addicted child? Should I just give up all hope that things will change for the better?

The Bible has the answers to all these questions. Of course, the answers don’t just pop out at you — Psalm 199:1 “Ye shall wear the comfortable shoes today.” Continue reading →

Day 3 Proverbs Challenge: Love, Favor, Trust, Direction

by Latricia Bailey

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:3-6 (NIV)

The beginning of a new year often brings about resolutions and promises to do things better than the previous year. Have you tried to make a commitment to do better and live better, but struggled with following through? Did you promise to lose weight, or save money, or have better relationships? Maybe you said you would go to church more or throw out some things in your home. Or did you decide to stop some bad habits like smoking? Perhaps you finally have decided to change your “stinkin’ thinkin’” and develop a better mindset. Whatever the case may be, have you often wondered about how God is truly the key? Why do I say that?

Begin the New Year with the Proverbs Challenge

by Sharman J. Monroe

It’s the first day of a new year . . . a year we have never seen before and will never see again. Praise God for bringing us safely into 2019!

There is no better way to ring in a new year than with the Word of God. Since January has thirty-one days and the Book of Proverbs has thirty-one chapters, everything is ripe for a Proverbs Challenge!

During the month of January, AWIC hereby challenges you to read one chapter of Proverbs everyday. You can read in the morning or afternoon or evening. We don’t care when — just read one chapter. And after you read, come back to the AWIC blog for the day (see below) and post any revelations that came to you. Continue reading →

Life’s Highway

By Harriett V. Bennett (wordZwoman)

If you ever find yourself stranded along Life’s Highway, there is a type of GPS (called the Holy Spirit) that you have that is implanted once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Good News: No invasive procedure needed. Just speak Romans 10:9 (NLT): “If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” In this new birth, it can get you back on the road from Dreams to Destiny. Follow your “heart,” and look for these street signs…

…When Questions seem to be the only thing crowding your mind,
