Friday! Proverbs!
The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice.
Proverbs 16:10 NIV
If only this were true...we so want this from those with great authority and power in our world to speak truth, wisdom... and justice...but so often they just don't.
Presidents. CEO's. Politicians. Celebrities!
I wonder what Solomon would make of the kings of today...
We can take heart that there is one king who did speak truth, who did speak life, who's mouth did not betray justice, and in Him we can trust.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
