The LORD tears down the house of the proud, but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place. 26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in his sight. 27 The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live.  28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.  29 The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.  30 Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.  31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise.  32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.  33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor.

9/08            Romans 11:18-20

do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.

CAREFUL

For by grace are you saved and not of yourself.  Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for your sin.  He is Lord.  He saved you.
