"The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead." (Proverbs 21:16)
The goodness of God leads to repentance, and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Christ attracts the heart, the one Mediator between God and men. He is the way, the truth, and the life, always the Object of faith to the believer. Here is the way of wisdom, and the man that wanders out of that way shall abide in the congregation of the dead, far from God. (William Kelly)

"Then were they all of good cheer."
(Acts 27:36)
The words "good cheer" occur seven times in the New Testament. God's desire for His children is that they be cheerful, sunshiny and joyous. His desire for us is that we shall live in victory; that we shall be strong and of good courage, and that we shall move on from strength to strength, from victory to victory, from glory to glory. And when we consider everything He has done for us, and all the provisions He has made for us, and all the resources we have in Him, we have every reason to be cheerful.
He wore a crown of thorns that I may wear a crown of glory! (Submitted by a reader R.K.)
