Today's One Year Bible reading is from the following passages:
Genesis 37:1-38:30
Matthew 12:22-45
Psalm 16:1-11
Proverbs 3:27-32
And the verse from Proverbs is what jumps out at me. Don't withhold good when it's in your power to act. This simple gem of goodness is something for us to ponder and meditate on. This is especially true when it comes to saying nice things. Sometimes we hold back from giving a compliment or saying thank you, sometimes because we worry what people will think. Sometimes because we don't want to appear weak. But this verse speaks into our lives profoundly. Don't hold back. Don't withhold good. Speak kindness and goodness into people's lives.
You never know who needs it.
God, thanks for reminding us of something so simple and so profound.
