Description

1CHRONICLES 21-22:Yesterday we heard the part where the writer of Chronicles skated over where David had his affair with Bathsheba. But we heard of the military victories and especially the misunderstanding that became the reason for the war with the Ammonites.

PROVERBS 20b:Our highlighted verse for today:

Pro. 20:24 NLT The Lord directs our steps,so why try to understand everything along the way?

Another proverb with deep significance is:

27 The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit,exposing every hidden motive.

TITUS 2:A major theme of this book is literally ‘healthy faith’ and ‘healthy teaching.’ This is a figure of speech that boils down to believing in true teachings. (NLT translates that well as ‘wholesome teaching’.)

NLT Translation notes:1 As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects [true/wholesome] teaching.2 Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must [fully believe our true teachings//have sound faith] and be filled with love and patience.
