"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."- 3 John 1:2 (NKJV) We need to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Prayers of healing in all areas of their lives, and also prayers of blessing. We should want all of the body of Christ to be well and to prosper. Have you prayed for anyone today? If not, not would be a good time to start.

"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."- Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV) We need to be careful of the tone we use when speaking with others. We can often calm down an angry person by just speaking softly and giving them our full attention. In the same way, we can push an angry person "over the edge" if we meet their anger with loud, angry words of our own. As children of God, we need to try for the best outcome possible in every situation.

"Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law."- Romans 3:31 (NKJV) The "law" of Christ was established when He went to the cross for our sins. If we have faith that He is who He says He is, then we should abide by the principles that He set forth. We are not bound by the Mosaic law but by the law of faith that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Obedience to that law is out of love and not out of fear. We love the Lord, therefore we live our lives in a way that will be pleasing to Him.
