2CHRONICLES 18:Woops. Asa didn’t end nearly as well as he started. And his son Jehoshaphat starts out well, but makes unfortunate alliances.

PROVERBS 31a:Today and tomorrow are our last two days in Proverbs. Verses 10-31 of chapter 31 comprise a Hebrew acrostic poem; each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Our highlighted verse today is verse 10. I like NLT’s translation for this verse because the Hebrew word describing a good wife means more than just capable. It also includes valor and virtue.

Pro. 31:10 NLT Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?She is more precious than rubies.

MATTHEW 13b:Yesterday we heard the first two major parables in Jesus’ teaching, and the reason why He spoke in parables.
