Day 538 - Luke 2 & Proverbs 14

 Julie

This one tells of the birth of Jesus. 

This proverb seems to deal quite a bit with anger and how we treat others. The one verse that really stood out was, "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly."

This is the story of Jesus.  It does give a glimpse of him at the age of twelve, but aside from that it is basically his dedication at birth, being presented in the temple and then at the end says, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man".  There is a verse that stands out in this chapter for some reason, and I can't figure out what it is trying to say.  "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."  "But his mother treasured all these things in her heart."  

I was thinking the same.  It seems about being wise and foolish in our interactions with others.  There are 2 that stand out for me.  "All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."  "Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress and for their children it will be a refuge."
