- Declaring and Praying Proverbs 14Proverbs 14 English Standard Version1 The wisest of women builds her house,but folly with her own hands tears it down.2 Whoever walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.3 By the mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.5 A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.9 Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.10 The heart knows its own bitterness,and no stranger shares its joy.11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.13 Even in laughter the heart may ache,and the end of joy may be grief.14 The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.15 The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.16 One who is wise is cautiousd and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.17 A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.19 The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.20 The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, but the rich has many friends.21 Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.22 Do they not go astray who devise evil? Those who devise good meete steadfast love and faithfulness.23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful.26 In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.28 In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.30 A tranquilf heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.31Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.32 The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death.33 Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools. 34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.35 A servant who deals wisely has the king’s favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.17 min
- Declaring Truth With Proverbs 13𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗕𝗦 𝟭𝟯 𝘕𝘌𝘞 𝘓𝘐𝘝𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘕𝘚𝘓𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 1 A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline; a mocker refuses to listen to correction.2 Wise words will win you a good meal,but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.3Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.4Lazy people want much but get little,but those who work hard will prosper.5The godly hate lies; the wicked cause shame and disgrace.6Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.7Some who are poor pretend to be rich;others who are rich pretend to be poor.8The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won’t even get threatened.9The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.10Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.11Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.12Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.13People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed.14The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death.15A person with good sense is respected; a treacherous person is headed for destruction.16Wise people think before they act;fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.17An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, but a reliable messenger brings healing.18If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored.19It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.20Walk with the wise and become wise;associate with fools and get in trouble.21Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous.22Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.23A poor person’s farm may produce much food, but injustice sweeps it all away.24Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.25The godly eat to their hearts’ content,but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.18 min

- Advent Day 24: Filling All ThingsLink to Love’s Pure Light Devotional here:https://tinyurl.com/yysjvwjmLuke 1:46b-55 1 Samuel 1:19-28 He-brews 8:1-13𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯; 𝘣𝘦-𝘭𝘰𝘸, 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯; 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘩, 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴; 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘵𝘩, 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥.–St. AthanasiusOne of the most beautiful prayers of the ancient church reminds us that God is “everywhere present and filling all things.” There is not a single spot in creation left unaffected or untouched by the glory of God, neither is there a corner of the human heart that does not long for God and to live in the light of his love. God’s love extends into every part of the world, and as St. Paul reminds us, he is reconciling it, and us, to him-self (2 Cor. 5:9).The author of Hebrews, quoting from Jeremiah, reminds us today that God has long promised to fill the hearts and lives of his people. As God reveals himself to his creation, he does so by filling it with his very presence, and this great promise is uniquely fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. How, one might ask, does God go about writing his law “on their hearts” (Heb. 8:10)? Though couched in legal language, this is fundamentally a promise of intimacy, a promise of communion. “And they shall not teach one another or say to each other, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest” (Heb. 8:11).Jesus enters the brokenness of our existence so that we can know God in the depths of our being. He fills all things so that we can find our fulfillment and true home in him. As St. Irenaeus famously said, “The glory of God is man fully alive.” Christ’s birth reminds us afresh that we become truly and fully alive as we encounter God’s glory in all of life.𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲The Incarnation reminds us that God loves our physical world and will redeem us, soul and body. As a reminder of the glory of God that fills all things, take time today to rejoice in God’s creation, giving thanks to God for the countless ways it speaks his name and draws forth praise.15 min
- Advent Day 23: Magnify The LordLink to Love’s Pure Light Devotional here:https://tinyurl.com/yysjvwjmLuke 1:46b-55 1 Samuel 1:1-18 He-brews 9:1-14𝘌𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘮.

Here, with the Psalms and the Song of Hannah on her heart and mind, Mary embodies the hopes and dreams of the whole of Israel: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (Lk. 1:46-47). As we, thousands of years later, hear and receive these words, what does it mean for us to do the same? How do we, with Mary, magnify the Lord?Throughout the ages, Christians have often referred to the reflective quality of the human soul. At our best, we are meant to reflect the life of God in and through the way we live our lives. Another common way to speak of this same idea is through the lens of an icon. Yet at our best, we are not simply images to behold but are windows that open to a vast horizon beyond, or perhaps more helpfully, mirrors that reflect the light of God with each turn.One of the chief effects of sin upon the soul is it darkens and dirties that mirror, removing our ability to live lives that magnify the Lord. Is Mary an end or destination in and of herself? Of course not. Yet through a life of faithful living, of obedience to God and openness to his call upon her life, does the Lord clean the mirror of her soul and shine brightly through her witness in every generation? Undoubtedly! May we, like her, live lives that magnify and image God in and through our lives, for his glory and the salvation of the world.𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲Though we all begin our journey of faith weighed down and darkened by sin, as we walk with the Lord, he is faithful to cleanse the mirror of our souls, freeing us to reflect his light. Today, take time to journal and recount the significant ways God has done this work in and through your life over the years.17 min

As we increasingly live every aspect of our lives on display, posted far and wide for the world to see, it becomes difficult to retain a hidden self, especially in a true and redemptive sense. We may be quick to hide things that cause us shame or guilt, yet do we know how to cultivate a life of holy silence and solitude, learning to hear the voice of God as we do?With Christmas just a few days away, everything in your life is likely ramping up. Nothing about this week feels settled, calm, or quiet! Yet this final week of Advent invites us to resist that chaotic impulse towards anxious hurry and instead listen and reflect upon the Word of God given to us.As Mary cultivated the life of a faithful follower of God, including regular times of private prayer and devotion, she found herself present and attentive, and therefore ready to receive the Word of God. Yet as this Word drew near, we see today that it left her disoriented, overcome by its weight and glory. What does she do? She ponders it in her heart (Lk. 1:29; see also Lk. 2:19). This Advent, the Lord is drawing near, speaking words of hope and love over his people. Resist the urge to fill the day with endless activities and external concerns, choosing instead to receive and prayerfully ponder the Word of God spoken to you.𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲As we enter into this fourth and final week of Advent, each day brings its own unique practice, inviting us into a heightened anticipation and preparation for the glory of Christmas Day. Today, you are invited to ponder God’s word to you through the practice of silence and solitude. Carve out at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted and undistracted time with God. No people, no screens, no agenda. Simply present to God and his word spoken over you.16 min
