Mat. 5:4 “Happy are those who mourn;
God will comfort them!
JEREMIAH 36-37:
In yesterday's reading in Jeremiah, he gave more specific warnings to King Zedekiah. And then we heard of the inspiring example of the Recabites.
PROVERBS 4b:
Yesterday in the first half of chapter 4, we heard again about Lady Wisdom. I highlight these important words:
7 Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight.
10 Listen to me, my child. Take seriously what I am telling you, and you will live a long life.
11 I have taught you wisdom and the right way to live.
12 Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely, and you will not stumble when you run.
Solomon introduces some of these words saying that he was taught them by his father, which would be, of course, King David. It is interesting to consider that we could be hearing some of David's wisdom in those verses.
1CORINTHIANS 13:
To give us the transition, let’s review these verses the end of chapter 12:
27 All of you are Christ's body, and each one is a part of it.
28 In the church God has put all in place: in the first place apostles, in the second place prophets, and in the third place teachers; then those who perform miracles, followed by those who are given the power to heal or to help others or to direct them or to speak in strange tongues.
29 They are not all apostles or prophets or teachers. Not everyone has the power to work miracles
30 or to heal diseases or to speak in strange tongues or to explain what is said.
31 Set your hearts, then, on the more important gifts.
Best of all, however, is the following way.
