Day 9 — Return Fire
Pray:
Lord God, quiet my soul and open my mind and heart to receive Your Word. Amen.
Read: Proverbs 16:1-33
Reflect
Solomon gives us practical instructions on how to live a godly life. He contrasts righteousness and wickedness and instructs us on how to return fire to avoid falling into sin. What is better than gold or silver (v.16)? If I were truly obeying God, how would people know? Can I remember a time when my pride or temper made it difficult to obey God? How might God help me improve my actions?
Respond
God, I find myself desiring wrong sometimes. Help me to put aside my pride and anger, and to obey Your Holy Word. Amen.
