Here is today’s Bible reading: 2 Chronicles 1:1-3:17; Romans 6:1-23; Psalm 16:1-11; Proverbs 19:20-21.

Psalm 16:2 (NIV)
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”

We continually chase after cheap substitutes for the one real thing, the only thing that is good – God.  When we have God, we have all we need.

Proverbs 19:20 (NIV)
Listen to advice and accept instruction,
and in the end you will be wise.

Wise people are teachable.  They listen and admit their weaknesses.
