\"Proverbs<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are reading with me, today we are on Proverbs 26. (Remembering what to read in the Proverbs is as easy as remembering the day’s date when you read them with me.) That being said:<\/p>\n

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 26<\/h1>\n

Using SOAP devotional method<\/a>, here’s what I heard…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scripture: Proverbs 26:11<\/h2>\n

Like a dog that returns to his vomit<\/p>\n

is a fool who repeats his folly.<\/p>\n

Observation:<\/h2>\n

Don’t go back and repeat your mistakes.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/h2>\n

Yesterday the verse that stood out to me was one about having too much honey (Proverbs 25:27<\/a>). Today I am hearing my Father remind me not to repeat my mistakes.<\/p>\n

There are things I do that I know I shouldn’t, and yet I tend to repeat \u00a0myself and continue to do them. Ugh.<\/p>\n

I really need to STOP the insanity! I need to stop being like a dog that goes back and ingests his vomit, just to do it again. (That is a pretty nasty analogy, isn’t it?) Instead I need to rid myself of those habits and replace them with better ones.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h2>\n

Lord, please guide me. Please help me to see where I am going before I lead myself into making the same mistakes. Guide me in recognizing the point where I make bad decisions and then guide me\u00a0to stop myself. I want my actions to glorify you. I want them to be honorable. I certainly don’t want to be like that dog. Please guide me in stopping and\u00a0retraining myself where I need\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Father.<\/p>\n

What about you?<\/h1>\n

What did you hear today? Did the same verse stand out to you or was it something else? Do you have a habit or collection of habits you’d like to change? Share your thoughts in the comments, if you are up for it.<\/p>\n
