Wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but things are getting intense in the world.

Really intense!

There is so much seriousness and heaviness around us.

It’s a great day for something that will make us SMILE!

I thought the wit and wisdom of The Peanuts Gang might make for a fun and positive post today.

Wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters

Just a bit of information about their creator, Charles Schultz:

“Schulz’s understated genius lay in his ability to keep his well-known and comfortable characters fresh enough to attract new readers while keeping his current audience coming back for more. 

When Schulz announced his retirement in December 1999, the Peanuts comic strip was syndicated in over 2,600 newspapers worldwide, with book collections translated into over 25 languages. 

He has been awarded the highest honors from his fellow cartoonists, received Emmy Awards for his animated specials, been recognized and lauded by the U.S. and foreign governments, had NASA spacecraft named after his characters, and inspired a concert performance at Carnegie Hall.  

And still today, the Peanuts Gang continues to entertain and inspire the young and the young at heart.” (https://schulzmuseum.org/about-the-man/schulz-biography/)

Spiritually Minded…

Although there has been some debate about Schultz’s faith and beliefs, his work carries some amazing spiritual undertones.

I thought taking some of his cartoons and giving them more obvious and intentional spiritual significance might be fun.

So, here are some cartoons and great words of scripture to encourage you. 

Here is wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters: 

The first bit of wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters…

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 

Instead, be kind to each other, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” 

Ephesians 4:32, NLT

The second bit of wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters…

“So we’re not giving up. 

How could we?

Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making a new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.

These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye.

The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18, MSG

So we’re not giving up. How could we! 2 Cor. 4:16 Share on X

The third bit of wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters…

‘Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear…

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow.

They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? 

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?”‘ 

Matthew 6:25-32, NIV

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Matthew 6 Share on X

The fourth bit of wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters…

 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.”

  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Jeremiah 29:11, NIV

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”

(Proverbs 17:17)

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:7 Share on X

The fifth bit of wisdom from the Peanuts Cartoon Characters…

“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.  

If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.  

Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm.

But how can one be warm alone? 

A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.

Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, NLT

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Eccl. 4:12 Share on X
