So i know it's the 15th and i should probly be doing todays chapter but there were a few things in chapter 14 that stuck out to me.
Verse 14:10
"Each heart knows it's own bitterness, and no one else can share it's joy."
i'm not totally sure why but i just really loved reading about how God knows that each of us are our own person and we all feel things differently. It's also kind of neat because i like to think of it as how every person feels when they first accept Christ and how others may think they understand but "each heart" feels it's own excitement and "no one else can share it's joy."
As for chapter 15 the very first verse was interesting to me.
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
This verse really teaches me to be more calm with others. To me it seems like it's always easier to strike out at other people but really everything works out so much better if you think things through before you end up making someone even more upset. This verse definately speaks to me, and it's one that i feel will really help me in the future.
Verse 3 was also kind of cool to me. It said:
"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good."
This was just a reminder to me that God not only watches out for His followers but also the people that don't believe in him, because He loves us all just the same, whether we love him back or not.
