Exactly what I needed to hear
Devotional Reflection - Tuesday (10/14/25)
15 Patience can persuade a prince,
and soft speech can break bones.
Yesterday I was called to silence and today's Proverb is about patience and soft speech. I'm amused by and so grateful for the relevance scripture has to real life. I'm still not feeling very verbose but I want to share a few blessings of today.
I need to take my son to a dermatologist to get something checked and they were booked out to December, so I had taken that appointment with the hopes of getting a sooner appointment from a cancellation. I called several days over the past couple of weeks and nothing was available but today, when I called I got an appointment for next week so I am feeling truly blessed!
He also used a new sign today for "help" which was really sweet to see! He picked it up right away so I think he's in the prime time to learn new signs at about 15 months old.
In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians today, he mentions people who will be judged because they enjoyed evil rather than listening to the truth. I found that very interesting and I don't have anything profound to say other than I don't want to be that type of person!
A new prayer that's been on my heart is one for friendship. I feel a bit deprived of social connection and attention and having some friends nearby would help with that!
Lord God, Thank You so much for the many blessings of today. Thank you for keeping my son healthy and strong and allowing his mind to continue to grow. Thank you for the appointment opening today and for leading me to call at the right time. Please help me continue to listen, be slow to speak, and to have patience and when I do speak, to do so softly.
I ask that you might send me some friends to share the time and some attention and affection. I am missing that piece in my heart and I would be so grateful for some companions to enjoy life with! Help me to be a better friend to the ones I have already from a distance. Help me to be a better mother and a better wife. Please reveal anything in my heart or in my actions that is separating me from You and help me to seek truth rather than enjoying evil. Please be near to me and speak to my heart, give me wisdom, and help me know what I must do each day. I ask these things in Your Son's Holy Name, Amen.
