Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 20:16-22, Ezekiel 16, John 19:17-42

Reflection Verse:  Proverbs 20:19

Reflection:  Beloved, in this world of social media there seems to be less and less safeguards on what is said and revealed of our personal lives. People do not know the difference between a secret and a confidence. Both seem to be fair game in this open market of idle words. It should be every Believers’ integrity and pledge, to respect the rights and privacy of others. Our word should be sacred to us. Keeping secrets and keeping a confidence are a sacred must. 

Prayer:  Holy Father, thank You for Your Spirit in me which empowers me to live holy. Thank You, Lord, for empowering me to respect others and to refrain from being a talebearer. Help me, Lord, to know when to speak and what to say, enabling my word to be my bond… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
