Beat the Boy Scouts

      In Proverbs  Its interesting to me that the first instruction in the book was to honor your father and mother. But that seems to be one of the main things that i struggle with (I should probably not even be making this Blog) As most people reading this know proverbs is a book written of wisdom and for wisdom. This book has 31 chapters so you might have heard the phrase (to read you're proverb today), something about that for me is that when i dive into proverbs to read the proverb of the day God shares something to me that would help me in a recent problem I've been having. And I've realized that the more i get into the word the more he stands out in his word and in his world. so i ask for some prayers that I would live out what i read each day, and that you do as well"

Separate Thoughts:

       Proverbs 10:5 A child who gathers crops in summer is wise. But a child that sleeps at harvest time brings shame.
        I'm afraid that we live in a time where most people go hungry... the church today see's a problem and says "someone else will deal with it" or "Ill just wait and Let what happens happen"
        I have a friend that recently helped a lady at the grocery store with her bags. The lady politely commented "oh you must be a Boy Scout."... My friend was startled... he noticed something is wrong, like you should as well. (Sarcasm)-> "How is it that a group of young boys with good morals go out into the world and use them, and people recognize them for their good works?..." we are all called as Christians to live our lives like JESUS (period) It is sad and truly amazing that the church has strayed to the point where Boy Scouts get recognized for good works, rather than the group of people who are supposedly living their lives like the CHRIST who SAVED us!! So I guess what my challenge and prayer is, is that we beat the Boy Scouts. And to not be a church that lets people go hungry.
