Today’s Manna

Daily Reading for Monday, December 29, 2025
Scripture: Titus 3:2
“Speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.”
Meditation:

“The disposition to gossip, which is so widespread, is displeasing to God. If those who indulge in unkind criticism or idle talk could realize that an angel of God is noting down their words, and that all are to appear against them in the Judgment, they would be far more careful as to what is entered on that book of records. How must the continual faultfinding appear to the heavenly messengers who are sent forth to minister to God's people. Would that the eyes of all might be opened, that they might see the holy angels walking among them. Surely they would be more guarded; instead of judging their brethren and sisters, and talking of their weaknesses, they would be seeking God with the whole heart.”1

“Let not your ears listen to gossip from anyone. If all would refuse to hear evil of their neighbor, the talebearer would soon seek other employment.”2
