Proverbs 18 : 7-15

   
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;
but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for being among us as our Father,
for letting us be your children on earth.
We thank you that as your children we can find life
in spirit and in truth.
Grant that each of us may find how our lives on earth
can be lifted up by your Spirit.
Your Spirit can bring us what we do not possess,
so that our daily work,
all our striving and struggling for the outward things of life,
may be pervaded by what is higher and greater.
Your Spirit can keep us from falling into base and petty ways,
from getting lost in earthly experiences which do not last,
no matter how much they demand our attention.
We thank you for all you have done for your children.
Continue to help us, that we may serve you
every day in gladness and gratitude.



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

Amen
