Wisdom And Offense

Hey, Y'all,

Here's another one that struck me (especially after some conversations I've had with several of you over the past few weeks)--it's pretty practical if you actually think about it. In the NIV, Proverbs 19:11 sounds like this:

A man's wisdom gives him patience;
it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

In the NLT is goes like this:

Sensible people control their temper;
they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

Not easy, I'll readily admit, but I'll also say that when I see it exhibited I want to be more like that. You?

You've been prayed for today...
