Learning How to Add and Subtract

Week 8: Helping Yourself

Learn how to add and subtract before you multiply.
Proverbs 6: 6-19, James 4:13-17

I pray you won’t need today’s proverb as badly as I do. I like to dream up great schemes of activity. No, let’s be honest. I like to scheme up great outcomes. Karen, my wife, says I am great from A to Z but I have problems with A to B. She’s right. I have to constantly remind myself of what I need to do today instead of imagining what will come my way three months or three years from now. It’s an old habit.

I’ve always wanted to multiply first, to extrapolate great successes out of my dreams and musings. This is all well and good if…if I add and subtract what is necessary or unnecessary to do today.

If you’re like me, make sure you stop and get directions from God about your journey through the day. If you are happily not like me give God praise for the steady and additional progress you will make today.
