† VERSE 45

Glazing

Praising someone excessively, past the point of belief.

† THE BIBLICAL TRANSLATION

Flattery is not kindness. It is a net, and the person you are praising is standing in it.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Proverbs 29:5 · WEB

† THE TURN

Flattery is not kindness, it is a net. Jesus told people the truth even when it emptied the room, and the ones who stayed were actually his.

† DO THIS TODAY

Not this week. Before you go to bed.

Jesus, make my words true and not merely warm.
