Daily Devotions - Wednesday, January 7

What Is The Important Stuff?

“A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.”

--Proverbs 14:30

One of the valuable textbooks for living is Mitch Albom’s book, Tuesdays with Morrie. It is a favorite book of mine. Mitch discovered that his revered college professor, Morrie, was dying. He took off a number of Tuesdays to go and visit his old professor. In today’s devotion we hear some important questions from their second visit. Morrie poses these questions as a guide for living:

1. Have you found someone to share your heart with?
2. Are you giving to your community?
3. Are you at peace with yourself?
4. Are you trying to be as human as you can be?

These questions are worthy of thought at this beginning of the new year. Have a good day.

Prayer: Holy God, fill my heart (and your world) with peace. Amen.
