Day 25 – Chapter 25
Wow, I can’t believe I only have 6 more days left….. not sure where the time went but I need to start praying about what God had for me next!
After reading the first 15 verses in chapter 25 my first thought was, “Well here’s a manual on how to be a friend.” We need that sometimes- a reminder!
8 Don't jump to conclusions—there may be
a perfectly good explanation for what you just saw.
9-10 In the heat of an argument,
don't betray confidences;
Word is sure to get around,
and no one will trust you.
11-12 The right word at the right time
is like a custom-made piece of jewelry,
And a wise friend's timely reprimand
is like a gold ring slipped on your finger.
13 Reliable friends who do what they say
are like cool drinks in sweltering heat—refreshing!
14 Like billowing clouds that bring no rain
is the person who talks big but never produces.
15 Patient persistence pierces through indifference;
gentle speech breaks down rigid defenses
If we could get this right- can you imagine how many friends we would have!
We continue on reading the chapter and it continues on talking about, basically, ‘to much of a good thing is bad!’
