What good do I have planned for today?
My goals for today should include at least one good scheme. Can I think up some nice thing to do for my wife? For my children? For my neighbor? For the guy that pumps my fuel? For every tenth customer? For the postal clerks?
Wow! So many people who could benefit from some good deed or word…from me! So many opportunities for me to devise some blessing for someone else!
“Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good” (Proverbs 14:22).
Now for two bonus verses from Proverbs 14. 🙂
“He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated” (17).
“He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly” (29).
