The July 2025 Refreshing Daily in God’s Word will be the last issue of the devotional. Pastor Michael Rouse retired June 29, 2025. At the present time, Mountain View Baptist Church does not have anyone to continue this ministry.
We appreciate all the support and prayers that you have given for this ministry since 2007 when it first began. We pray the devotionals have been a blessing and have brought you closer in your walk with the Lord.
In the future, the Lord may allow the devotional to return. In the meantime, we are asking for your prayers for the man that God chooses for our church.
Thank you and God bless you!
Key Verse: Verses 20 - “Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”
Key Words: Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him
There is a little poem I like written by Luellen Norris. The poem goes as follows.
If your lips would keep from slips
Five things observe with care:
To whom you speak, of whom you speak,
And how, and when, and where.
I do believe that the tongue is the only tool that grows sharper with use.
None was better at insults than Winston Churchill, who had no love affair with Lady Astor. Actually, the feeling was mutual. On one occasion she found the great statesman rather obviously inebriated in a hotel elevator. With cutting disgust she snipped, “Sir Winston, you are drunk!” to which he replied, “M’lady, you are ugly. Tomorrow I will be sober.” That may be a classic example of how not to handle an insult. It surely is an example of hasty words.
