Readings today included: Proverbs 10, 11, & 12 and Romans 10.
Scripture Verse that caught my attention today: Proverbs 12:18 Rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Observation: Another example of the common sense that is not so common.
Application: One of the things I appreciate about Facebook is that, at least from what I’ve observed, it’s generally civil and supportive. Now it’s not a perfect community. On Facebook if someone says something that upsets you, you can just remove them from your list of friends. Poof…they’re gone…which isn’t exactly the ideal example of how to work things out! Yet there is something to be said for having an almost zero tolerance policy for words that deliberately cause pain; it helps create an atmosphere of support and encouragement. Unfortunately, that’s a whole lot easier to do on Facebook than it is in the physical communities of home, school, work, government, and even church.
Prayer: Lord, whenever we encounter good advice as is found in the verse above, help us to live it out. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
