Monday, June 16 — Psalm 77:1–9
Song of Solomon 1:1–2:7; Galatians 1:1–12
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:13
Holy God, grant us the wisdom to respond to conflict with soft words, turning away wrath and promoting peace. Help us to hold fast to the sound teaching of Christ Jesus, living in faith and love, so that our words and actions may reflect your grace. Amen.
