Proverbs 26-Like a dog that returns to his vomit, is a fool who repeats his folly

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
"Like a dog that returns to his vomit, is a fool who repeats his folly. Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." Those verses come from Proverbs 26:11/12.

Don't go back. Don't go backwards. In fact, don't even look back. Don't repeat folly, absurdity, or recklessness. And I'm not just talking to you. I'm talking to myself. As you know I have made mistakes, as we all have, right? And I don't want to make those same mistakes. Now, will we make mistakes in our lives? Of course, but we should get smarter, better, and faster as we grow older. Right? 

Anyway, today's message is saying not to go back to those things that have not done us any good and that have not added anything good to our lives. To go back is like a dog returning to his vomit as Proverbs 26:11 says, which is pretty disgusting, wouldn't you say? And that verse continues to say it's foolish to do that. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be so spiritually wise, but no earthly good -- no good for myself and no good for anybody else. I want to learn from my past. I refuse to live any other way. So say it with me: "I'm too blessed and highly favored for that." Yes, listen, we need to start saying that over our lives, again and again so we don't repeat the things we messed up on.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
