You may have heard the saying, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future." Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said, "We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with." This resonates with us because we know that friendship is important and that the people who we're closest to shape who we become. The friends we keep can be the source of our greatest joys and even pain. They can build us up or tear us down. And so, it is important to be in relationships with the right people. What type of friends do we keep? What qualities do these people need to have?

Maybe you've heard the expression, "The hustle is real." Most of us can relate. We are BUSY, we have too much on our calendars.  There are e-mails to send, people to meet with, laundry to get done, and it seems like the list never ends. But what does all this busyness accomplish? Is there a purpose to our work?
 
The Bible is not silent on this topic of work and laziness and even uses the smallest of small to teach us about how we spend our time. When we face the crossroads of work on our journey, we often have to choose how to invest our time, energy, and resource that God has given us.

In our society, there is an emphasis on the importance of material things. Possessions can be made a priority all too easily if we listen to the voices and world around us. In our hearts we, as Christians, know that people are more important than possessions, right? We understand that relationships matter more than things.  However, at times it is hard to live out this truth. How do we react when we come to the crossroad of relationships vs. resources? The book of Proverbs certainly has something to say about this crossroad in our lives and how we are to live it out on a daily basis.

There are warnings all around us daily.  They may be in the form of traffic signs, or warning labels on the household items or tools we use every day.  We may not understand these warnings but they are there for our safety and for our protection.  
 
When we look to the Word of God, we encounters some warnings as well. These are words of caution given to us by the Lord.  We may not always understand them or see what they have to do with our lives, but God knows the warnings we need to keep us close to Him and on His path.  Some warnings have to do with our actions, our decisions, our relationships and even how we view sex in our world and in our marriages.  Though it may be a more difficult subject, God has something to say about it and we need to adhere to His warnings.

There are times in all of our lives that we wish we could protect ourselves from the pain in and around us. However, in the reality we live in, pain is an indispensable part of life that no one is immune to, no matter one's wealth, connections, or station in life. As long as we live in the this world, pain will come!
 
The pain we endure may come as the result of our own poor choices or the actions someone else takes. But what if the pain comes because God is teaching us something? How do we respond when God uses trials and pain to reveal more of himself?

You may have heard the phrase, "Hindsight is 20/20." This refers to our ability to look back on situations we've been in or decisions we've made and make judgements on whether we handled it the right way or not. 
 
We often learn lessons from such moments, after we have already encountered them. At times these are painful lessons learned due the consequences of decisions made in such moments. But how do we spare ourselves the heartache and pain of these consequences? How do we approach decisions and actions in our lives where we don't have to live with regret? Instead, how do we live life with satisfaction and gladness over our choices?
