"Love is Patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It alwasy protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Vrs.4-6.
It is easy to see what that passage is a favourite. There are quite a few others that are also popular- Psalm 23, John 3:16... (if you don't know those ones, go look them up, it's worth it)
However, yesterday I was browsing through Proverbs and read a few and thought-"this is dynamite, but not really ever quoted."
So, today I give you a few passages that I thought were noteworthy yet not well noted.
"Like one who seizes a dog by the ears
is a passer-by who meddles in quarrels not his own." Proverbs 26:17
"Better a poor man whose walk is blameless
than a rich man whose ways are perverse." Proverbs 28:6
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe." Proverbs 29:25
"Pride only breeds quarrels,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice." Proverbs 13:10
I could go on, but I'll leave it with those four for tonight.
Hope you are well wherever you are tonight.
