Blake and I were discussing Paw Patrol this morning. If you aren't familiar with the cartoon, as am I sure you wouldn't be unless you have very young children, it is about ten-year-old Rider that has a crew of puppies that fix problems around Adventure Bay. The kids love it.
So, Blake asked me who I liked on Paw Patrol. I told him that I liked Rider, and Rubble, and Chase, and Rocky, and Marshall, and Zuma, and Skye, and Farmer Al, and Farmer Umi, and Captain Turbot, and Mayor Goodway, and I even like Mayor Humdinger. Blake said, "NO! You can only like one!" Now, I knew what he meant, "Which one do you like the most," but, I also wanted to make a point. I said, "Blake, I love everybody. GOD intends for us to love everyone."
Today's word is Proverbs 3 3a - 4, NIV, which reads, "Let love and faithfulness never leave you...Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of GOD and man."
Love and faithfulness. The first will find us with friends and acquaintances and favor that we could only imagine. I have definitely been blessed with great friends that I love and I know love me. Of course, we love GOD first, and when we do, we find it easier to love everyone else.
When we practice faithfulness, we prove that we are worthy of love; that people can trust that what we claim to be is what we really are. When we practice them together, we find that we really are favored and others speak well of us (mostly).
So, let's practice love and faithfulness and obtain favor and a good name with GOD and man. By the way, I do have a favorite on Paw Patrol but I'll never tell.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
