(Matthew 14:9-10) “The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests who were present, . . . he had John beheaded in prison.”
Sad when our boasting causes harm to others. Sad how our concern over what others think of us can cause us to do what we know is wrong. May we take the time to pray before we speak. May our concern over what God thinks of us guide all our actions.
