Change your world one day at a time.
Daily encouragement provided by Marty Pressey.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
Isaiah 40:30-31
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not faint.

Loyalty and Faithfulness
Today’s Blog
There are times our English translations do not do justice to the true meaning of Scripture. That is the case in Proverbs 3:3. The word interpreted as “loyalty” has a much broader meaning. It includes kindness, mercy, love, piety, and loving kindness. The word interpreted as “faithfulness” also has a broader meaning. It includes faithfulness, firmness, truth, stability, continuance, and peace.
When we understand the broader meaning of these words, we can then understand why King Solomon said to write them on our heart, that we are to carry them with us wherever we go and in whatever we do. Solomon is stating that we are to treat people with kindness and mercy out of our love for them and God. We should do this with piety or by submitting to God.
