Day 128 - (Today’s Bible readings: Proverbs 18, Psalm 119:1-8; James 3:1-18)
“A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1 ESV)
Have you ever found yourself in an argument?
Have you ever gotten someone mad at you because of your harsh words?
This proverb gives you some very wise words... “soft answers” and no “harsh words.”
As sinners, we know that we need help in this area. The good news is that Jesus died to pay for our sinful words and other misdeeds.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14 ESV)
Pastor David Paape
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
