Monday, September 11th: Proverbs 10-12; 2 Corinthians 4 ~ Tammy

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is  Proverbs 10-12; 2 Corinthians 4

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life
The tongue has the power to build up or destroy.  May we breath life into those we encounter today!

Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a wife who causes shame
is like rottenness in his bones.
This is a good reminder that we are not islands, and our behaviour does not just affect or reflect on us.    I want to be a wife and mother that my husband and children are proud of, not ashamed of.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are afflicted in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.
Today marks another anniversary of the September 11th attacks.  I thought these verses were appropriate for today - even if we are crushed in this life, we have this hope in the life to come.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. - Proverbs 11:4

A good reminder for me to remain focused on where I place my time, energy, and focus.

Proverbs 10:17
People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray.

A good reminder that discipline isn't just for children, but for adults as well, and for us to learn from our mistakes.
