Here is today’s Bible reading: 1 Chronicles 28:1-29:30; Romans 5:6-21; Psalm 15:1-5; Proverbs 19:18-19.

Proverbs 19:19 (NIV)
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty;
if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.

Sometimes the best way to help those we love the most is not to bail them out, but to allow them to experience the full effect of the consequences of their actions.

1 Chron. 29:12 (NIV)
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.

It all belongs to God – even this life I call my own.
