Refreshing

Image
Proverbs 11:25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Our culture teaches us to be consumers. Our culture teaches us to put our needs before the needs of others, or in other words, “Me, me, me, it’s all. This scripture directly opposes that thought by stating, “Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” Another translation puts it like this, “Generosity will be rewarded.

A man from Texas says that he had a plan that if he were ever caught out in a tornado or such, he would pull alongside the road and hide in a culvert. (A culvert is a large pipe used to channel water and is used to allow water to pass underneath a road, railway, or embankment for example.) The man changed his mind upon seeing these two photos taken by a Texas Power and Light crew who were putting in lines for an addition to the Hallettsville Airport and found the following in a culvert they were using... The gator was 18' 2" long. The rattlesnake roundup totaled 87. In what might we find "refuge"?... Drugs, porn, tv, alcohol or people who tell you what you want to hear rather then what you need to hear or escaping from life through gaming or shopping...What we think we find refuge" in can sometimes have the potential to destroy us. The scripture says in Psalms 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." When looking for a ...
