Today's Reading
Jeremiah: at this point, the fires of adversity were burning hotter and hotter for the people around Jeremiah. He stood firm: judgment was coming. However, there was hope. God's covenant was firm and God would ultimately provide salvation for all who follow Him.
1 Timothy 4 is a great chapter to train and encourage younger believers. It reminds us to watch out for false teachers, to discipline ourselves in the faith, to serve according to our gifts and to be concerned about how our lives affect others. That's a pretty good primer for Christian stability at a young age.
Psalms: "6 For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord?
What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord?
7 The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God.
He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne." Remember that the next time you're tempted to believe that Satan can do whatever he wants, unchecked by God's hand.
Proverbs: both a gossiping tongue and a quarrelsome wife make life difficult.

I love, love, love the passages in 1 Timothy and Psalms today. They are soothing to my soul. Also, Proverbs was a good reminder to me today. Just this past weekend my husband probably wanted to live on the corner of our roof (except it's 40 degrees here) instead of being in the house with me. I confess my quarelsome heart.
