Buying Lunch For My Enemies | Journey Through Proverbs 25 | Set Free 24-7

A Proverb a Day Keeps the Police Away! Join me as we read through the book of Proverbs in the Message Version this month! Have you ever done something nice for someone even though they didn't deserve it? Somebody named Jesus spent his life doing just that. We don't win over our enemies by wielding weapons, but instead by YEILDING them. Maybe buy them a lunch instead of attacking them with a lance. Remember, the enemies that Jesus forgave were the very same people that crucified him. Today's reading is packed full of wisdom, insight, and good instruction for living to keep you on the right path! I'm not pushy or preachy, I'm just glad that you are here!
