Sisters! Today I have completely caught up! I discovered SRT in July and started July 8th. I then went back and started in January reading the current reading and “catch up” reads every day. My husband, kids and I leave in vacation in a few days and my goal was to catch up before we left. I have been SO blessed by the readings and have looked forward to them everyday. I even found myself commenting on posts from February ;) thank you so much for all of you comments and thoughts. I feel myself growing and strengthening each day. Iron sharpening iron….
Love: “Also do not take to heart everything people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known that even you have cursed others.” Ecc. 7:21-22
Loved this verse –
Ecclesiastes 7:14 On a good day, enjoy yourself;
On a bad day, examine your conscience.
God arranges for both kinds of days
So that we won’t take anything for granted.
I’ve struggled in the past with focusing on what “people say” rather than what feels right according to His direction I should walk in. Today’s Ecclesiastes verses reminded me to always stay on the path He leads for me even if it’s the one of most resistance:
Ecclesiastes 7:21 Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you.
Ecclesiastes 9:17 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.
10 Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. How often we reminisce the old days when we forget the bad and only the good
17The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. 18Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Awesome! Congratulations! I am trying to catch up as well!
Very cool… Good work. I’m a few weeks behind but hope to be in full swing by Labor Day! :)
Wisdom is important…… For poor man with wisdom is better than a Man with riches

I screenshot your comment because it’s a really great reminder!
What version is this? I love it. Is it possible to change the version in this plan?
Hi Sally! You can change your default translation in the \’Settings\’ section.

What translation is your set on?
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools. Eccl 7:9

This is also something I struggle with and the first verse definitely caught my eye. Thanks for sharing :)
Me too!! Such a good reminder <3

These words jumped off the page at me today
Same here, Terri-Kate. Verse 17 especially.
Same here!
Same for me as well & ties in with the wisdom that God gave to Peter & James in Acts to settle the dispute.
