Where are you tempted to give or cave just a little bit on your convictions?
You don’t think you should physically be involved with someone until marriage…but just a little kissing won’t hurt.
You don’t want to live under the pressure of debt…but just a little debt won’t hurt.
You want to honor God with your speech..but just a little off-color joking won’t hurt.
You want to honor God with your eyes…but just a little porn won’t hurt.
You want to be healthy…but just a little desert won’t hurt.
You want to be productive…but just a little more sleep won’t hurt.
You want to have a great family…but just a little more time in the office won’t hurt.
People don’t usually throw their life away in one big flub up. They usually do it little bit by little bit.
Proverbs 6:10-11– 10 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
11 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
Where are you tempted to give just a little bit?

Eddie added these kind words on Aug 07 08 at 9:41 amWow! Go Pastor! That’s spiritual blogging……..(is that even a thing or did I just invent a new terminology) Anyway, whatever the Lord is doing in your life, please let him keep doing it. It is obvious that He is speaking through you.

Loretta added these kind words on Aug 08 08 at 10:00 amWow Jeff. This really got me thinking yesterday. I made myself get up an hour early this morning. I could have slept so much more, but it gave me time to relax and read my Bible this morning before work. I hate mornings, but I really found relaxation by doing this. I had no idea this verse was in the Bible. Thank you so much for sharing! I need encouragement now and then and I’m sure I’m not the only one!

Rachel added these kind words on Aug 12 08 at 3:20 pmI LOVE this. So true. A couple of them hit me where it hurt. So, apparently I needed to hear it.
