Today’s Scripture Reading

Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.

Psalm 37:8


People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray.

Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool.

Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

Proverbs 10:17 – 19


Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

James 1:19 – 20


Today’s Meditation

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart,
and try to love the questions themselves
as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a very foreign language.

Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually,
without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke
