Wisdom At A Glance

It is spring and we are continuing living our daily lives and starting the summer off. I want to share different parts of the book of proverbs. The book of Proverbs was written to help people make wise choices. God wants us to be wise.

3:12 The Lord trains those He loves. He is like a father who trains the son he is pleased with.

6:9-11 You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep? You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest. Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.

10:19 Those who talk a lot are likely to sin. But those who control their tongues are wise.

11:4 Wealth isn't worth anything when God judges you. But doing what is right saves you from death.

11:12 A person who has no sense makes fun of his neighbor. But a man who has understanding controls his tongue.

11:22 A beautiful women who has no sense is like a gold ring in a pig's nose.

12:22 The Lord hates those whose lips tell lies. But he is pleased with people who tell the truth.

14:8 People are wise and understanding when they think about the way they live. But people are foolish when their foolish ways trick them.

There are so many more Proverbs later on in the book. But here are some of the highlighted ones. I encourage you to read through the book of Proverbs. The wisdom of God will help you see the Love, Mercy, and Knowledge of God that will help us live a more Godly life.
