Answers for Today
To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is!
The path of life leads upward for the prudent,
that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.
Proverbs 15:23-24
To make an apt answer—that’s what we’re after in this devotional ministry—answers for today’s questions from God’s Word. Up to this point, the devotional series has been called “The Puzzle,” but as of today, the new name is “Answers for Today.” Same format and same purpose, but with a new title, one which hopefully reflects a little better just what it is we’re seeking.
There’s nothing quite like finding the right answer. When faced with a situation requiring wisdom and knowledge, an apt answer—the one we just know is right—is the most welcome sound we can hear. It represents the solution to our problem—or at least the next step. An apt answer brings peace. If we make a pattern of finding answers to life’s questions in the Bible, we are on a path which steadily leads upward. God will never lead us wrong.
The point is, God can be trusted—totally. So can His Word. When we habitually turn to the Bible and to God for guidance, we will find the answers we need. There will be opportunities to share answers with others, too. The longer we serve Christ, the more familiar we are with His Word, the more valuable we become as a resource to others who need “an apt answer.” The joy which accompanies being able to help someone with guidance we know came from God is better experienced than described. Listen again to the advertisement:
To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!
This is the journey we’re on. Fortunately, the path leads upward. Those who deign to follow God avoid countless pitfalls. Sure, there are temptations and trials, but for God-followers, there are lots of things we’ll never get close enough to even see, when it comes to the hazards of iniquity. It’s a safe, upward path, away from danger and stupidity and into new realms of satisfaction. There are joys to be experienced which are simply non-existent in the lives of those who don’t know and follow God. One of those joys is finding the right answer to the questions of life, then being able to share it with others. It’s a worthy pursuit.

Dangerous Beauty
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land. When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.” When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go.” And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had. Genesis 12:10-20
Sarai was so beautiful it was hazardous. Abram, who just wanted to live, accurately predicted Sarai’s beauty would attract the attention of people powerful enough to take her from him, so he asked a favor of his wife: Lie. It was only part-fabrication, since Sarai was, in fact, Abram’s half-sister as well as his wife. Sarai ended up in the palace.
This is where God steps in. Although Abram hadn’t particularly been trusting God to protect him, God does it, anyway. Pharaoh figures out the connection between Abram and Sarai and the plagues which have befallen him. He’s not pleased, but he’s savvy enough to know not to mess with someone God has chosen to bless. And Abram and Sarai leave Egypt, rich.
Huh? How does that work, anyway? You get blessed even when you didn’t trust God? You do when God has promised to bless you, and you believe Him. That’s what set Abram apart—he believed God. It was an imperfect, enduring faith, and God is still rewarding it. Abram had a dangerous faith to match Sarai’s dangerous beauty. Both were long-lasting. The woman Pharaoh coveted was maybe 70. The same couple repeated the ruse with a different king when Sarai was—get this—90 (Gen 20)! The way to survive a rough world is to have dangerous faith. Staying dangerously beautiful until you’re 90? I think the Hebrew word is “Botox.”

Go-To Verse
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8
It’s one of my favorite promises in the Bible—the promise of wisdom. I have gone to this passage hundreds of times—maybe thousands—as the way to find the answers I needed for the day. Whether it’s a simple mechanical task where I need to know or remember what to do, or one of the biggest decisions in life, it has become instinctive to ask the God who promises to help me. If we don’t know what to do, ask God! We will always get the answers we need.
One thing about God, though—He doesn’t do second opinions. If we’re just seeking to weigh the options, planning to rely on our own wisdom, but we wouldn’t mind knowing what God thinks, we can forget about receiving much in the way of personal divine guidance. God doesn’t play that game. We will be confused and frustrated.
The disciple who is rewarded with wisdom from God is the one who goes to Him in humility, determined to obey whatever he believes God is leading him to do, just so long as he knows it’s from God. When we plan to do whatever God shows us to do, and we go to Him, expecting guidance and wisdom, we will get it, every time. Follow-through is really important. We need to “pray through” and know we’re clear on His leading, but when we get to that point, quit second-guessing and just obey what we believe is God’s direction for us.
God really does want to help us. He has made it so clear! To receive wisdom from Him, the only thing we need to do is ask, then be willing to obey. The Lord isn’t pushy with His wisdom, though. If we insist on going our own way, He’ll let us. But if we ask Him, He has promised to freely distribute His wisdom to all who seek it. This is coming from Someone who knows all the answers to all the questions! It’s no wonder I can’t stay away from this verse.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
If you don’t know what to do, ask God, and He’ll tell you. It’s as simple as that. That’s a go-to verse if I’ve ever heard one.

Daily Discipleship
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23
There’s a word I almost never hear associated with Christianity, yet Jesus included it in His speech to all would-be disciples. It’s the word, “daily.”
What does “daily” have to do with discipleship? Everything. Although there is clearly a “new birth”—a crisis event which results in a new life as a disciple, it was never, ever intended to stop there. Jesus never asked people to repeat a prayer, acknowledge belief in Him and return to a sinful life; the call was always to follow Him into a new life, which meant a continuing journey, not a one-time event.
Many have strayed from the pattern Jesus proclaimed. Examples abound of “conversion” without repentance, “discipleship” without self-denial, and the substitution of a one-time nod at the preacher for a lifetime commitment to Christ. Even among the more spiritually astute, there is often a glaring absence of the concept of “daily” discipleship, with “discipleship” being interpreted as giving a couple hours a week of service to the church, or maybe serving on a board or committee. If I read Jesus’ words right, if it’s not daily, it’s not discipleship. By “discipleship,” we’re not talking about church attendance or church busy work, here—we’re talking about a life lived for God on a daily basis, not one reserved for sacred places and rainy weekends.
Since we’re already tromping on toes, we might as well finish up. Self-denial. Now there’s a message we’ve heard in American Christianity again and again, right?! No? Me neither. I’ve heard, “Give generously;” I’ve heard “Commit.” Self-denial? Hardly ever. Do you know what I’ve heard in place of self-denial? Consumerism. Straight consumerism. “What’s in this for me? Is this guaranteed to improve my life? Will your programs keep my kids happy? Will this help us with our finances and marriage? Will God bless me if I attend your church? You’re not going to be asking me for money all the time, are you? How clean is the nursery?”
Put ‘em side by side—the sales pitch of the average evangelical church trying to win people for Christ, and the actual call of Jesus to discipleship:
Us: You’ll like our preacher, plus we have a great kids program.
Him: Unless you’re willing to give up everything, you can’t be my disciple.
Us: Christ will make your life better, so add Jesus to your life.
Him: To be my disciple is to die to yourself every day. Follow me.
A disciple wants to please his Master; a consumer wants the best deal. Discipleship is daily. Consumerism? Whenever convenient. Consumer or disciple?

The Wrong Side of God
The LORD tears down the house of the proud
but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD,
but gracious words are pure.
Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household,
but he who hates bribes will live.
The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
The LORD is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:25-29
Most of us know what it is to get on the wrong side of someone. It’s not fun! Imagine getting on the wrong side of God. “But I thought God loved everyone.” He does. It’s why He’s so proactive when it comes to dealing with wickedness, pride, etc. So, if we’re interested in incurring God’s wrath, here are some easy ways to accomplish it.
Pride. Humility attracts God; pride repulses Him. He hates it. We’d probably feel the same way if we were omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. Since we’re not, and He is, avoiding pride is a good way to avoid having God tear our house down.
Wickedness. God despises even the thoughts of the wicked! No need to comment on the actions.
Another convenient way to get on the wrong side of God (and our family) is to be greedy for unjust gain. The tricky, bribe-taking, conniving outlaw brings trouble on himself and all who know him.
So there we have it: Three easy ways to get ourselves on the wrong side of God. The consequences will be substantial and enduring. It’s a dumb plan all around.
Who is on the right side of the Lord? The humble servants who depend on Him, particularly those (like widows) whose other options are slim. Those who live in God’s grace, and walk and talk like it, rather than indulging in wickedness and presuming it won’t matter. Honest, righteous people, who try to do the right thing, who treat God and one another with honor and respect.
The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
You know, all we have to do is try. All who want to be on the right side of God are.

Rich Relatives
When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. Then he bought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his possessions, and the women and the people. Genesis 14:14-16
Without Abram, Lot would have been just another vision-less dude hanging around Mesopotamia. Had it not been for his uncle Abram, Lot might have died as a captive slave. Without Abram, Lot would have perished along with the other inhabitants of Sodom. Who gave his nephew first choice of the land when the herds they had acquired made it so they needed to separate? Abram. Who gathered his own small army and took on five kings and their forces to rescue his none-too-smart nephew? Abram. Who pleaded with God Himself to make a bargain in the hopes of sparing the city of Sodom, when it became apparent that the day of reckoning for wanton wickedness had come to the city? Abram. Was there anyone else willing to go to bat for Lot, after making selfish and foolish choices consistently for years? Abram’s bold intercession on Lot’s behalf elicited a promise from the Lord that if Sodom contained even 10 righteous people, the city would be spared. (Abram had started at 50 and worked his way down)!
As it was, not even ten people qualified as righteous in Sodom, and Lot himself only slid in by God’s grace and Abram’s prayers. In the end, Lot was literally led out of Sodom by the hand, the angels explaining to him that they had orders not to destroy the city until Lot was
clear of it. Does intercessory prayer matter?! You’d better believe it!
Lot’s life was spared on more than one occasion by the intervention of his uncle, Abram. Lot’s life was incredibly enriched by the faith, vision, generosity and courage of his relative. It pays to have rich relatives. Abram was rich in many ways, but most of all in his relationship with God. When it came down to it, the best thing Lot had going for him was a relative who knew God.
And as I get to spend time among family this week, I’m reminded of how many rich relatives I have, and what a blessing it is to be related to people like this—so rich in courage, generosity and especially faith in God. They share their vision with you, give you first pick, come to your rescue even when you deserved what you got, and go to God on your behalf again and again and again. Rich relatives. One of God’s greatest blessings. Thank you, Lord.

The Humiliation of Wealth
Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass, he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. James 1:9-11
It’s sort of like delayed gratification. Can this person handle lowly circumstances on earth and still serve God faithfully, or must he be coddled with a certain amount of possessions or he will become bitter and envious? Think of the examples of people in the Bible who were saddled with riches which ruined them? Their lives were devoted to the maintenance of their earthly wealth, which they inconveniently left behind at death, anyway. Great importance was placed upon the achievement of wealth, to the detriment of their spiritual life. They made somewhat of a splash here on earth, then were gone. It must have seemed to them that there was no choice; to onlookers from subsequent centuries, it appears a pretty abysmal trade for the one life granted to us—something on the level with Esau forking over his birthright for a bowl of stew.
Not all rich folks have been spiritual failures. In fact, the rare person able to maintain a humble, faithful walk with God while controlling great wealth is the sort of blessing who can affect an entire nation. But it is a challenge requiring a huge amount of self-discipline and humility, two things which often slide off people with each increasing level of prosperity.
It’s why James’ advice is so good: Rather than the poor man bemoaning his fate or focusing all his energies on trying to become a rich man, the lowly servant of God can choose to exult in the confidence God has put in him, that he will faithfully serve his Heavenly Father in lowly circumstances, patiently awaiting the day when he is welcomed into a Kingdom with no want.
And rather than the rich person being tied to his wealth, expending so much of his attention on trying not to lose it or in being proud of what will so soon be gone, if he can choose the attitude of holding it all loosely, remembering how fleeting is the responsibility and privilege of earthly wealth, and choosing to consider it a sort of concession to weakness, rather than a badge of superior intelligence, it will help him in being the sort of individual to whom God can safely entrust much wealth without that wealth ruining him.
Consider lowly circumstances as exaltation; consider riches as humiliation. Isn’t it like God to make it so whatever we have, we can be content, we can be humble, we can be useful to others and a blessing for eternity? We all get to win.

Bone Refreshment
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
and good news refreshes the bones.
Proverbs 15:30
When people love something or someone, you can see it in their eyes. There is a “spark” present. Mention that subject or that person and their eyes light up. The more they talk about the object of their affection, the more animated they become. It’s hard to shut them down when the subject is what they really love.
What lights up our eyes also lights up our heart. Seeing the person we can’t wait to see thrills us down to our soul. Our entire being is encouraged and energized by the presence and the pursuit of what or whom we love.
I think the connections go beyond what we might assume. For someone suffering from some sort of bone disease, what would be the effect of some good news? Would it help or hurt? “Good news refreshes the bones.” Such is the impact of good news, of hope—it affects us all the way down to our bones. The same with “the light of the eyes”—everything about us rejoices when we’re in contact with what we truly love.
Let’s talk heaven for a minute. Most people want to go there, particularly when approached with only two choices, heaven or the alternative. And what is the main feature of heaven? The presence of God. It’s sort of confusing to me when I see people who claim to be headed for heaven who have very little time or patience for anything spiritual, now. Church is an oft-neglected drag for them; they have absolutely no interest in the Bible or participation in worship; prayer is a fearful thing. But they’re one day going to be transported to a place where worship and praise are the principal activities forever, and they will suddenly like it?! If the worship of God brings no light to our eyes now, no sense of refreshment and joy to our being, will death suddenly make us fall in love with Him?
The Gospel is the best news ever—Jesus came to save us. But what if we regard the “Good News” as not all that good? We’ll miss out on the refreshment for ourselves which good news brings to every part of our being. Those around us will also miss out. If there is no light in our eyes when it comes to Jesus, if the Gospel is ho-hum to us, we won’t be very interested or effective in sharing it. There are those around us whose hearts desperately need what only Jesus can bring. There is a world lunging for hope or good news. Let’s bring encouragement every chance we get. And let’s be sure not to forget the best news of all: Jesus loves you and He came to save you.

Sanitized Sin
Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD. Genesis 13:13
Then the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.” Genesis 18:21
Sodom had developed a well-earned reputation. Genesis 19 is a sad chapter which only confirms the degree of depravity to which Sodom had sunk, and how widespread was their sin. Abraham had boldly bargained with God on his nephew Lot’s behalf; God had agreed to what Abraham thought must be a safe quorum: Only ten righteous people in Sodom and God would spare the city. Sodom didn’t even come close. “Righteousness” and Sodom had little to do with each other.
Sodom’s wickedness is still being referenced in the New Testament, when Peter (2 Peter 2) talks about Sodom and Gomorrah’s wickedness and Lot’s rescue, as an example of what happens to the ungodly and how determined God is to save the righteous. Leviticus 18:22-30 makes it clear that God sees homosexual acts as an “abomination;” sexual immorality causes even the land to become “unclean.”
Here’s the point. What the men of Sodom were doing was sin. It was wicked, it was depraved. Not many people are described in the Bible as “great sinners against the LORD;” the Sodomites were. Sodom’s namesake sin wasn’t their only one, but I honestly can’t see how any Bible scholar can conclude that homosexual practices are O.K. with God, after His purposeful judgment on Sodom. All we need to do is read Genesis 19 to get a God’s eye perspective on what some today insist is noble and normal, but what God has always termed “sin.”
So, what are homosexual practices? A “gay” lifestyle, deserving of honor and special rights and total acceptance? Or do homosexual practices deserve the label “sin,” regardless of how many times we’ve seen them purposely portrayed as anything but that?
But what if public opinion has changed? What if the majority think it’s O.K.? Like all but one person in the whole city? Like Lot? Wouldn’t that change God’s opinion, if it’s an accepted practice within that community? Apparently not. Men may try to sanitize and sanctify this sin or others as much as they want; it remains sin. Sin always bears ugly consequences. And when it comes to determining whether or not something is sin, I’m going with what God says, not man.

Hang In There
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
Trials have a way of revealing whether or not faith is real. For so many, the first sign of trouble is the signal to abandon ship. God is looking for disciples who will tough it out. James makes it clear that trials equal “tests”—and our faith actually needs them.
It does help to consider the trials of life as mere “tests,” allowed into our lives to prove the genuineness of our faith. How else will we ever know what we would do in a trial, if none are ever allowed into our lives? Will we hold steady or will we cave in to pressure? There’s no feeling quite like the one we get on the exit side of a tough trial which we have successfully overcome through God’s grace and perseverance.
When faced with annoying trials of life, for some reason it’s encouraging to have a friend come along and say, “Hang in there.” We generally are not in need of pity, nor is it helpful, particularly if we’re susceptible to self-pity. It’s also of little help when people offer unsolicited advice, solutions or aid in assigning blame. “Hang in there” indicates empathy with our trial, nothing in the way of solution, and the encouragement which says, “Don’t give up. Someday you’ll be on the other side of this trial.” “Hang in there” is encouraging; “You should have...” is not.
So what does it mean when God says to us, “Hang in there,” complete with the personal promise that the one who loves Him who stands tough in the trials will receive “the crown of life”? It means we should never, ever give up. When God Himself is deliberately encouraging us, we might as well be encouraged! And those pesky tests should be considered as just that—tests, and nothing more. Trials will come to every believer in one form or another. It’s to be expected. Also to be expected is a wonderful crown of life, presented personally to each overcomer who has loved God and refused to give up, regardless of opposition and weariness. The presenter will be our Heavenly Father Himself.
Trials? It’s part of life on Earth. It’s no big deal. It really doesn’t matter whose fault they are, either. What matters is that we don’t quit. Stand for Christ. Let your faith be tested and purified. The victory is worth whatever we have to withstand in getting to the finish line. Listen. God Himself is saying to us, “Hang in there.” That’s a very, very good idea. Be encouraged.

A Deadly Philosophy
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire, when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. James 1:13-15
A deadly philosophy grips much of our world, today. This philosophy ignores the reality of sin, or if sin is acknowledged, always defers the blame to someone or something else. In other words, there either is no such thing as sin, or if there is, it’s always someone else’s fault, never mine. The result of this philosophy is death. Every time.
James, ever practical, gives us the mechanics of sin in this passage. Here’s how it works. It never starts with God, because God can’t be tempted by evil, nor does He ever tempt anyone. It doesn’t even start with the devil, the convenient scapegoat: “The debbil made me do it!” The debbil can’t make us do anything; he can only make suggestions. Since those suggestions are evil, it’s called temptation.
The hard truth is that sin begins with us. Satan can’t make us sin, nor can he tag us with his own sin and make it stick. Sin begins with our own desire. We wish to do something we know to be wrong. We desire to have something which belongs to someone else. Et cetera. The desire is there, we know it’s wrong, but instead of expelling the desire and replacing it with something we know is noble and right, we coddle the thought and let it stay. Desire hangs around, waiting for opportunity. Pretty soon opportunity knocks. Sinful desire opens the door. Sin is conceived. Death always follows.
The philosophy of “no sin” or “no responsibility” is killing us. Until we acknowledge that there is, indeed, such a thing as sin, that it produces death and that it is our own personal problem requiring God’s grace and forgiveness, we are headed for spiritual death. Until we own up to our personal responsibility for sin, we can’t be free from it. Until we deal with desires—what we allow to stay, what we boot out—we are only one opportunity away from devastating sin. Sin starts with us. It’s never God’s fault. Sin begins when we make a home for wrong desire. Then it’s only a matter of time. Where sinful desire is not welcome, temptation bounces off, too. If we deal with desires, we deal with temptation in the process. If we accept responsibility for not only our own sins, but also our own desires, God will make sure we win the battle. He is the Righteous One. His desire is that we also would be righteous. If that’s our desire, too, we’ll get our wish.

Fish-site Christianity
Seven summers of my life have found me commercial fishing in Alaska at a set-net site. Yes, this is the same state where they film “The Deadliest Catch,” but this is an entirely different fishery. This one is focused on a section of Cook Inlet beach, where the nets are held in place to catch salmon swimming close to shore. This type of fishing is called “set-net” fishing, since the nets are stationary or “set.” Rather than drifting around in a boat looking for fish, set-netters only have one place they can fish—their leased slice of beach and as far offshore as they can get a net to hold, which isn’t far. The nets are tended in open boats, always within sight of shore, and often within sight of a home on the bluff.
While the drift fleet wanders in search of fish, the set-netters must wait for the fish to come to them. The benefits of set-netting are many, though. For one thing, there’s less danger. Much of the time the fishermen are on dry land. While drift fishermen are away from home and family for days at a time, set-netting offers the opportunity for families to be together. Everyone gets to help. Kids who can barely walk are down on the beach learning to pick fish out of nets and put them in fish totes. Teen-agers are driving tractors down the beach or picking from the boats. Senior citizens drive loaded trucks to the cannery. Men, women, teens and children work side by side, each according to their ability and skill.
The fish site hums with activity. People are scattered everywhere, each doing a job suitable to them, each relying at different times on the help and support of others, or the knowledge that someone else’s expertise is saving them all kinds of frustration. The most enjoyable aspect of set-netting, to me, is the absolute necessity of teamwork. When it’s working, it’s a beautiful thing! It gives me pleasure to see it and be part of it.
In Christianity, like set-netting, there is the absolute necessity of teamwork if anything great is to be accomplished. Picture God’s pleasure as He observes His Church working as a team, His children working at the tasks He has prepared for them. It’s not getting the work done that matters to Him—it’s the fact that His children are learning to work, and work together. In the process, they are in relationship with Him and with one another. When the Church functions like a set-net site, it brings us all pleasure.
