Daily Bible study is necessary if we are going to begin our day with the right attitude and the right spiritual diet. Proverbs has 31 chapters, and most months have 31 days, so let's read a chapter of Proverbs a day and see what God might have for us. As the Lord leads, share with us what God has shown you in a special way and by His grace let us build up a devotional repository. Let's keep our knives and forks handy for some daily bread! Ideally, a chapter or two of Proverbs will fit in nicely with a good plan of reading our Bibles through each year.

If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.

“Open rebuke is better than secret love.

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." - Matt 7:6

"But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house." - Mark 6:4

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11

So, how do we apply these seeming uncomplementary verses? I think particularily about relatives we know who need a Word - who need correction but they have little or no espect for you or God's Word. They represent people who your heart goes out to - but you know their pride and blindness will reject you and God's Word. Should we treat them like swine according to Matt 7:6 - or not?
