anyway, my current plan [until I find my other plan once again] is a daily proverbs reading, then a read-through of Ephesians -- sort of in the vein of this past Thrive retreat, I'm trying to get myself familiarized with Ephesians (and perhaps start memorizing it as well)
so today's was Proverbs 24, and, well, all of Ephesians.
verse of the day
Prov 24:11-12. "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, 'Behold, we did not know this,' does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?"
I feel like this has both evangelistic and fellowship connotations; am I caring for the lost and doing all I can to "rescue" them? Ultimately yes God does the work, but the command here is pretty clear as well. and in fellowship: if my brother/sister is stumbling, do I give in to fear of man or (graciously!) offer my observations or corrections? of course wisdom applies, but the point is action must be taken.
