This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

Proverbs 21:1 - 22:29

- The Lord’s purpose prevails over human plans; justice, diligence, and controlled speech are praised while pride and laziness bring ruin.

- A good name and humility are better than riches; train a child in the way he should go and avoid the company of the angry or greedy.

2 Thessalonians 1:1 - 2:12

- Paul thanks God for the Thessalonians’ growing faith and endurance amid persecution, assuring them of God’s just judgment and relief when Jesus returns.

- He warns them not to be shaken by false claims that the day of the Lord has already come, explaining that the man of lawlessness must first be revealed.
