Inherit the wind

Please continue to pray for Donnie and his family. They ask for "peace and comfort and a peaceful transition to Glory with our Heavenly Father." 

***

"Inherit the Wind" is a play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee which got its title from today's Bible verse, Proverbs 11:29 (I'm quoting from the ESV. They used the KJV back then):

Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, 
and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

David Guzik, from EnduringWord.com, wrote, "To bring trouble to one’s own family is to prepare a future full of storm and difficulty. To inherit the wind is to have a future of storm and trouble."

How often do we make decisions that ultimately bring "storm and difficulty" to our households? How often are those decisions made out of anger, or spite, or haste? It could be a harsh word or an overt action; either of which has the power to fester and manifest into something that's seemingly impossible to overcome. Pray about anything that has come between you and someone else. I encourage you to make amends.

*********
Please join me this week in praying for family. Pray that relationships will be strengthened. Also, pray that families will work out any differences that they have and that they will build a bond that can withstand any tribulation. Let's add to this prayer that our Heavenly Father help lead our unsaved relatives to salvation; that He help them in whatever area of their personality that separates them from others (anger, fear, language, narcissism, physical or mental restrictions, etc...) so they may form lasting relationships which will lead them to You.
