All Talk

Proverbs 14:23

In all labour there is profit: 

but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

I am reminded that "talk is cheap."

It is easy to talk big,

to make big plans,

but it is harder to put my mind and muscle to the task.

I had been talking to hubby about another gospel tract idea over this past year.

This verse reminded me to set my mind and pen to the task. 

I was having difficulty giving appropriate time to Bible memory.

Why? It is work!

I have tweaked my morning routine 

and trust it will yield the profit that this verse promises.

It is good when the Bible convicts and corrects;

and when I choose to obey it.

A wife and/or mother has a very difficult task.

What have you been "talking" about?

Is it improvements to your home?

Is it a diet change?

Is it a book that you want to read?

Is it the need to exercise?

Is it increased discipline in you life?

Is it Biblical child-rearing?

Why haven't you followed through?

Talk is no substitute for hard work.
