Digging Deeper Daily: By Daily Bible Reading PodcastSample
1CHRONICLES 19-20:
Yesterday we heard about one of David’s greatest hours, and I think David would rank this as better than the killing of Goliath. It was the time when he wanted to build a house for God, and instead God promised to build his house— making for him an everlasting dynasty. Then we heard of his leading in even more amazing military victories.
PROVERBS 20a:
Today’s highlighted verse:
Pro. 20:3 GNT Any fool can start arguments;
the honorable thing is to stay out of them.
TITUS 1:
Commentators say that Paul wrote his letter to Titus in about the year 66, and that evidence from chapter 3:12 reveals that Paul may have written this in Nicopolis in Epirus, where he spent the winter. The letter has much in common with 1 Timothy which was written around the same time. Paul had given Titus a difficult pastoral assignment, and this letter includes advice that has been so helpful to many pastors. And personally and to my own shame, I always remember this epistle as the location of my worst argument with one of my translation consultants. Recently in Proverbs 18 we read a proverb that applies to that situation, it is this:
Pro. 18:19 NLT An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.
Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
