Thank God for February and Introducing March Thru Proverbs

What a month this February was. Historically these months are notorious for how quick they pass, so much so that I hardly count them as a month in themselves but just a pit-stop between winter and spring. This February, however, has felt like the longest February I have ever lived through. Changes in family arrangements […]

MTP31 – A Virtuous Wife

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

MTP27 – Staying Close To Excel

Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbour who is near than a brother who is far away.

MTP26 Stop The Whispering To Stop The Fires

For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. (Proverbs 26:20) The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. (Proverbs 26:22) So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great […]
