Our scripture this morning is Proverbs 12:25-26.
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.
The Book of Proverbs contains much “good advice” for us to live out and share. Many are from King Solomon who asked God for wisdom in order to rule well (1 Kings 3:9). These sayings are given that we might become wise in the ways of the Lord. God is always willing to lead us on the path He has made for us but we must choose to follow. In this passage we hear that we can lift others from the worry we all face in the world. God wants us to help everyone know His love and be part of His plan of salvation.
Gracious God, we are grateful that You share Your wisdom and call us to share it with our brothers and sisters. Help us to be energetic bearers of the Gospel that all may know Your love. Amen.
