Proverbs 16 : 18-28
KJV


18 Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit
with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely
shall find good:
and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:
and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life
unto him that hath it:
but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself;
for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil:
and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife:
and a whisperer separateth chief friends.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

You are king,
founding a kingdom that reaches to the ends of the earth,
establishing it to endure forever.
We thank You that we may be sheltered in Your hands
and that no sickness of body or soul can do us lasting harm.
We thank You for lifting us again and again to true life
with the light and power to overcome what is earthly,
true life with the flexibility to remain trusting and confident
no matter what happens,
true life directed to the great goal of God's kingdom,
promised to us in Jesus Christ."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
