Tuesday, September 12th: Proverbs 13-15; 2 Corinthians 5 ~ Jody

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is: Proverbs 13-15; 2 Corinthians 5

A tranquil heart is life to the body,
but jealousy is rottenness to the bones. Proverbs 14:30


Love this Proverb. The peace and tranquility that is beyond our own human ability really is life!


14 For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If one died for all, then all died. 15 And he died for also that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

As we share the gospel and His truth, it should be our love that pushes us to share. That we know he died for all of us in His love for us! This love should always be the fuel that carries us to share our faith.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. - Proverbs 15:1

Out words can be used to build each other up, or tear each other down. I pray that I will choose my words wisely.

Proverbs 15:16
Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure with turmoil.

A reminder that it is better to have little here on earth, and be right with God. This goes against worldly teaching, but is correct.
