Proverbs 31:8, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless and see that they get justice.” (NLT) A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a text message and reminded me about a time in high school…

The acronym P.E.A.C.E. serves as a simple way to become the best you can be at everything you do.
Proverbs 30…control
Proverbs 30:33, “As the beating of cream yields butter and striking the nose causes bleeding, so stirring up anger causes quarrels.” (NLT) Life is so much easier to live when we focus on what we can control and I’ve pretty much narrowed the “controllables” to our faith walk, our attitude and effort. Most of the…
Proverbs 28:27…give and never lack
Proverbs 28:27, “Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” (NLT) Ask anyone who helps the poor and they will tell you the blessings usually come back ten-fold. Even though we don’t give in order to receive, God always blesses us when we give. …
Proverbs 19…Who’s driving your life?
Proverbs 19:21, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” This is one of my favorite Proverbs as it reminds me just how much control I really don’t have. I found out the hard way that it is much easier to swim with God’s current than against it and one way I…
Proverbs 18…listen to learn
Proverbs 18:2, “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.” One of my favorite personal development books is “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” by Stephen R. Covey. Covey methodically goes through 7 Habits he has observed in all people who are highly effective. The 5th Habit is;…
Proverbs 17…less=more
Proverbs 17:27-28, “A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.” (NLT) It would be foolish for me to add anything else… P.E.A.C.E. jay@eaglelaunch.com
Just a thought…
John 1:1-3, “In the beginning the Word already existed. the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (Jesus) existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.” (NLT) I remember the first time I ever stayed at a Hampton Inn several years ago. Back…
Proverbs 14…some thoughts from my simple mind
Proverbs 14:3, “A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him, but the words of the wise keep them safe.”…if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all. Proverbs 14:7, “Stay away from fools for you won’t find knowledge on their lips.”…if you want to be a winner, run with…
Proverbs 13…get rich slow AND steady wins the race
If there is one thing I’ve learned in life is the fact there are no free lunches. In the 13th Proverb Solomon clearly states what it takes in order to grow wealth and it is a 4 letter word many people do not want to hear…W-O-R-K. Although work is the key to growing wealth it…
Proverbs 12…P.E.A.C.E
The 12th Proverb touches on several aspects of effective living. It was easy to pull a verse and match it with each of the letters of my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic. As I’ve touched on several times in the past; successful people have a Plan, put forth consistent Effort to execute the plan, have an Attitude that believes…
