Today's Verse

VERSE:
  Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence
overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
   -- Proverbs 10:6
      

THOUGHT:
  Righteousness brings us great blessings. Violence becomes its
own vile reward, bringing to those who use it what they have done
to others. So what's our choice? Blessing or violence?
Encouragement or a foul mouth? So what's the real choice? Letting
God define character and not someone else.

PRAYER:
  Father, I want to live my life to please you, to bring your
Kingdom a blessing, and to help others see that violence is
destructive to themselves and to others. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
