Scripture for Today

VERSE: Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.. they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with thefruit of their schemes. -- Proverbs 1:29,31

THOUGHT: Sometimes the natural consequence of rebellion is its ownjustice. Rebellion ultimately produces bad fruit, and wickedness isoften its own worst punishment. In the face of such a generous Godas we focused upon yesterday, how could we choose to follow anyother path but his? It may seem harder in the short run, but in thelong run there is simply no option that compares!

PRAYER: Father of justice and mercy, thank you for saving me by yourgrace. Thank you for promising to judge the world with grace,mercy, and justice. In you, and you alone, do I find my sense ofwhat is right and fair. I cry out to you, O God, for justice anddeliverance for your people who are oppressed, ridiculed, andpersecuted. In Jesus' name. Amen.http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20080131
