Title: God Doesn’t Miss a Thing

Scriptures: Proverbs 15:1 - 11

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing morning!  I am blessed to have today.  We all are!  Much more with God's word for today.  Proverbs 15:1 - 11, entitled, "God doesn't miss a thing." This reminds me of the song from Aerosmith about how he doesn't want to miss a thing.  He created the song when his daughter, Liv Tyler, was born and when he said he doesn't want to miss a thing, he was referring to every moment with his child - now that's showing the love of a father! What a great truth knowing that our Father in Heaven doesn't miss a thing either when it comes to our lives.  Every little thing counts for Him and He made sure that He is there to witness everything we do.  That's why there's no hiding the truth from Him.  Amazing how God loves us so much!  He is present in every moments we have in life, the happy ones, the sad, the troubled times, the joyous times, every moment we have...He literally is present and would like us to share it with Him.  There so much words in this portion of chapter 15 that shows God's love for us and in connection to that, He has given us wise words to guide us in our walk in life.  Among all the wise words, I want to focus on 3 amazing truths:

1) Verse 1 - "A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindless a temper-fire." Now, this one is a powerful word that all of us must come to understand.  At times, when our emotions are at peak, it is so easy to speak sharply and carelessly.  Many times, even we start the fire by just responding rudely or sarcastically, just because we feel it.  But God says, speak gently, speak with calmness, with peace and not the opposite because our words still kills and gives life and the way we deliver our words matter because our hearts is shown in the delivery of our words.  One person can say, "You're beautiful." and delivers it sarcastically, which then reveals the heart of that person.  So it is important that we choose our words but the delivery of our words is equally important too.  That's why God pointed our "gentle response" defuses anger.  So it's not just the right-words response but also a gentle one.

2) Verse 3 - God doesn't miss a thing - He's alert to good and evil alike.  I have pointed out already above how amazing God is because He doesn't miss a thing in our lives...But in the end, the decision is with us on either we share those moments with God or not.  He is present every time when it comes to our lives: the dark times, the troubled times, the happy times, etc...He is a witness to all of those times in our lives, so let's share those moments with Him and walk our lives with Him not only a witness but one who is involve.

3) Verse 6, "The lives of God-loyal people flourish; a misspent life is soon bankrupt." - such a wise truth!  Let us not misspent our lives but live it devoted to our God.  That is where we will flourish because our nature is to be with Him.  But away from Him means death.  So be wise and choose to live your life with God!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for an amazing day!  An amazing moment with You!  Lord help me to apply Your words today in my life from today and may it build my character that these wise choices becomes part of my and my natural choice.  Lord help me to impart these wise words to others that I may become a channel of Your wisdom to others.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today:

Proverbs 15: 3 (The Message Version)

God doesn't miss a thing - He's alert to good and evil alike.

Do you remember Aerosmith's song, "I don't want to miss a thing" - that song was created when his daughter, Liv Tyler, was born and it's his way of saying that he doesn't want to miss a thing in the life of his daughter.  Well, God doesn't miss a thing in your life too.  In fact, He has always been there and He is a witness on all our troubled times, our dark times, our happy moments, our success, failures, etc.  He didn't miss a thing in our lives! We have the decision to make God a mere witness in our lives or we can choose to share those times with Him and allow Him to get involve in our lives. So let's share our lives with Jesus...Start today!
