Misfit Entrepreneur 320 - Lessons for Hannah - The Bible

p>Hello Misfit Nation! Welcome to another edition of "Lessons for Hannah!" Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at [e-mail]. We’d love to share it.

This week’s Lesson for Hannah

Hannah, I want to talk to you about the Bible. It is truly an amazing book – not just because it is God’s word and the story of our Christian faith, but because it offers such incredible wisdom for living your life in the best ways possible. I am particularly a big fan of proverbs as each proverb offers wonderful, practical wisdom for living from health to relationships to money, and much more.

A lot of people don’t realize how much the bible has an impact on our lives. In fact, many everyday sayings that people use, whether they are religious or not, originated in the Bible.

Here are just a few examples. ​

• Let there be light
• Forbidden fruit
• By the sweat of your brow
• Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
• Fire and brimstone
• Land of milk and honey
• Of biblical proportions
• An eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth
• Golden calf
• Scapegoat
• Apple of my eye
• A man after my own heart
• How the mighty have fallen
• Put words in one’s mouth
• Be a man
• Put your house in order
• Nothing but skin and bones
• By the skin of your teeth
• The root of the matter
• Broken heart
• Bite the dust
• Wits’ end
• Spare the rod, spoil the child
• Pride comes before a fall
• There’s nothing new under the sun
• Eat, drink, and be merry
• Fly in the ointment
• A little birdie told me
• Four corners of the earth
• Drop in a bucket
• See eye to eye
• No rest for the wicked
• Rise and shine
• Like a lamb led to the slaughter
• Sour grapes
• Writing is on the wall
• Salt of the earth
• Go the extra mile
• The love of money is the root of all evil
• Fight the good fight

I could have gone on and on, but I think you get the point. The Bible has much more of an impact on you, your life, culture, and the world on a daily basis than most people realize.

Now, imagine if you actually read the Bible and took the time to learn from it? What if you read a little bit every day? How much could you learn? How much wisdom could you gain from centuries of human experience? I know that it would be a lot. I take just a few minutes to read each day and I learn something every time I do.

Hannah, make the Bible part of your life, if not on a daily, on a weekly basis and take time to learn from it. One great place to start is with Proverbs. They are short, easy to read and understand, and will help you become a better, more rounded person. I can promise you, if you do, you will find that incorporating reading the Bible into your life will make a huge difference in your life and your success.

I love you,

Dad
