Friday, March 1st: Leviticus 24:1-25:46, Mark 10:13-31, Psalm 44:9-26, Proverbs 10:20-21 ~ Emma

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Leviticus 24:1-25:46, Mark 10:13-31, Psalm 44:9-26, Proverbs 10:20-21

The words of the godly encourage many,

    but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.

• Proverbs 10:21

We need to use our words to lift others up, not tear them down. Non-christians especially look at us to see how we might be different from them because of our faith. If we put other people down, we are hurting their image of who Jesus is. We need to always make sure we are doing our best to properly portray the image of Jesus, and that comes from encouraging others with our words.
