We Come Before You This Day in Need of Your Mercy

The Book of Proverbs 17 verses 1 through 4. Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife. A slave who deals wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers. An evil doer listens to wicked lips and a liar gives heed to a mischievous tongue. The crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold and the Lord tries hearts.
